However, there is a lack in marketing literature about their consideration as one of the natural parties of the supply chain. Indeed, related with their firm sizes, firm tenures and their service offerings in recent years, they have become to act as the orchestrators of the supply chain This study aims to prove the orchestrator role of 3PLs in Turkey by stating their standardization, visibility and neutral arbitration roles between suppliers and producers. In-dept   interviews were conducted on eight logistics professionals consisting both practitioners   and academics of logistics in order to create a scale to understand the changing role of   3PLs in Turkey. The results showed that the 3PLs in Turkey have reached to an improved   role as the orchestrators of the supply chain.</p></abstract>

Ancak pazarlama yazınında üçüncü parti lojistik hizmet sağlayıcıların  3PL  tedarik zincirinin doğal bir öğesi olduğu konusunun yadsındığı görülmektedir. Oysa ki, son yıllarda firma büyüklükleri, görev süreleri ve sundukları hizmetler göz önüne alındığında üçüncü parti lojistik hizmet sağlayıcıların daha gelişmiş bir role  orchestrator role  büründükleri gözlemlenmektedir.standardizasyonu, şeffaflığı ve nötr aracı kurum olma durumlarını tespit ederek gelişmiş bir rol  orchestrator role  edindiklerini göstermektir. Bu değişen rolü açıklamak amacıyla lojistik alanında sekiz profesyonelle derinlemesine mülakatlar yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, Türkiye’de bulunan üçüncü parti lojistik hizmet sağlayıcıların  3PL , son yıllarda tedarik zincirinde gelişmiş bir role  orchestrator role  eriştiklerini göstermiştir</p></trans-abstract>
