Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Logistics business group (LBG) is an effective organization forms to ease the inconsistency between supply and demand in logistics market as well as to improve the efficiency of collocating logistics resources. Since it's difficult to measure accurately the capability of LBG, the paper has concentrated on the capability of LBGs based on the idea of Network-Enabled Capability (NEC). NEC of LBG is a conception relative to traditional produce capability of enterprises, which roots in the network connectivity and network awareness. An idiographic model has been put forward to describe the NEC evolvement and some ratio to measure NEC of LBG has been employed. After analyzing two cases based on certain two models, we deem that the NEC of LBG is 1.5. That is, the potential capability produced by network urges LBG to have 1.5 times more capability than that of no network.
