Abstract

The emergence and development of the fourth industrial revolution affects production systems. This new revolution also has an impact on logistics, which has a direct relationship with production. Organizations give importance on innovation, technological change and product differentiation to compete with their rivals. Innovativeness creates better understanding of customer needs and wants, catch up their rivals and become more proactive in seeking the market opportunities for organizations. Therefore, improving logistics services using innovations can help improving strong customer relationships, derive barriers to competition, increase customer loyalty, change costs and conduct market activities more effectively. In this context, the objective of this study is to prioritize the innovation factors in logistics industry using a pairwise comprehensive method named Analytic Network Process (ANP). This model is proposed to define a ranking between selected criteria for innovation based decisions. This methodology demonstrates, which criteria has the most important role in the innovation processes.

Keywords
