Relationship Between Green Logistics Tendency and Logistics Performance: A Comparative Case Study on Logistics Service Providers

Year 2016, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 27 - 36, 01.11.2016

Abstract

Increasing concerns related to environmental side effects of the logisticsservices and competition between the logistics service providers are twopressuring factors on logistics service providers. This study seeks to explore the relation between green logistics tendency and logistic performance from the perspective of logistics service providers. In order to reach this aim, two logistics service providers are investigated by comparative case study method. Findings showed the effects of green logistics services on logistics performance components.Keywords: Green Logistics, Logistics Performance, Logistics Service providers, Comparative case study

Yeşil Lojistik Eğilimi ve Lojistik Performans İlişkisi: Lojistik Hizmet Sağlayıcılar Üzerine Karşılaştırmalı Bir Vaka Çalışması

Year 2016, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 27 - 36, 01.11.2016

Abstract

Lojistik hizmetlerin çevresel yan etkileri ile ilgili artan endişeler ve lojistik hizmet sağlayıcılar arasındaki rekabet lojistik hizmet sağlayan işletmeler üzerinde baskı yaratan iki faktördür. Bu çalışmada, yeşil lojistik eğilimi ile lojistik performans arasındaki ilişkinin lojistik hizmet sağlayıcılar açısından ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak, iki lojistik hizmet sağlayıcı işletme karşılaştırmalı vaka analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar yeşil lojistik hizmetlerinin lojistik performans bileşenleri üzerindeki etkilerini göstermektedir
