Description
Höhere Serviceanforderungen der Verlader, volatile Treibstoffkosten, die zunehmende Mautbelastung, stärkerer Preiswettbewerb, immer schärfere Umweltauflagen sowie die Neuerungen bei Lenk- und Ruhezeiten – der Leistungs- und Kostendruck in der Branche steigt. Hier können nur solche Unternehmen im Wettbewerb bestehen, die eine qualitativ hochwertige und nachhaltige Logistik- und Transportdienstleistung erbringen sowie zugleich signifikante Effizienz im operativen Bereich realisieren. Der Lehrstuhl für Logistikmanagement an der Universität St. Gallen (LOG-HSG) und die Premiumpartner.

DKV Group, Knorr-Bremse und PTV Group suchen exzellente Logistikunternehmen des gewerblichen Strassengüter- und Werkverkehrs, denen es in ihrem tagtäglichen Geschäft auf vorbildliche Weise gelingt, einen hohen Effizienzgrad, eine hohe Leistungsqualität und ein hohes Mass an Umwelt- und Sozialverträglichkeit auf intelligente Weise miteinander zu verbinden.

    Design of Interorganizational Incentive Mechanisms for Sustainability Management of Logistics Service Providers
    ( 2012-09-17)
    Kudla, Nicole Luisa
    The increasing political, societal and managerial relevance of sustainability, reflecting the tripartite understanding of economic, environmental and social concerns, confronts organizations with operationalization challenges within and across their boundaries. At present, sustainability strategies predominantly address the corporate level of the focal organizations of supply chains. On an interorganizational level, focal organizations develop codes of conduct or voluntary sustainability initiatives that primarily concern their manufacturing suppliers. Despite awareness of the external effects of logistics services and thus the presumed high relevance for sustainable development, logistics has been rarely taken into account by scholars and practitioners regarding interorganizational sustainability management. Therewith, performance criteria to assess and evaluate sustainable behavior, as well as related incentives concerning logistics service providers (LSPs), are a vastly unexplored arena. The dissertation investigates the design of interorganizational incentive mechanisms for sustainability management of LSPs. It provides thorough insights regarding the current state of sustainable logistics services and interorganizational incentive mechanisms. As a cumulative thesis, it presents three empirical studies of explorative natures that analyze dyadic relationships of shipping organizations and LSPs. Based on the power structures in shipper-LSP relationships, agency theory is applied as a core organization theoretic lens, which is integrated with institutional theory within one of the studies.

    Purpose of this paper: The purpose of this article is to explore the environmental impact of LSP activities in the light of increased customer attention and fragmentation of the industry and to explore to what extent LSPs can actually monitor the environmental impact of logistics activities in the supply chain. Design/methodology/approach: This research is based on a narrative literature review, an interview study, a case survey and three in-depth case studies. A framework on sustainability challenges in supply chains derived from the literature is used to structure and analyze the findings. Findings: Our findings reveal that despite ambitious environmental schemes communicated by several LSPs, LSPs exert little control as well as interst over the actual emissions created from their transport operations. Furthermore, it is clear from this study that any real concern in environmental solutions that impact the cost and time requirements from customers of logistics services are not yet a reality. Value: This paper represents a novel approach as to how LSP environmental policies should be viewed. Furthermore, it highlights a concrete need of action in order to reach the environmental targets of 2020 and 2050 when it comes to carbon emissions from road transports. Research limitations/implications (if applicable): This paper implies that LSP sustainability cannot be investigated in isolation if a company does not manage proprietary resources. Practical implications (if applicable): Our findings imply that environmental policies between different LSPs appear similar, but in practice differs, which stresses the importance of follow-up control by environmentally aware logistics service buyers.
