Chapter 8 in Exploring Knowledge-Intensive Business Services, 2012, pp 155-173 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A third-party logistics provider (TPL) is an external provider who manages, controls, and delivers logistics activities on behalf of a shipper (Hertz and Alfredsson, 2003). The scholars’ recent interest in TPLs relates to the rising tendency to outsource logistics in a variety of industrial sectors that has been generating a growing demand for advanced logistics services (Selviaridis and Spring, 2007).
