Tesis doctoral de Joan Jane Marcet
The objectives of this thesis are to identify reliable measures of performance of logistics alliances and determine the effect of the contractual components on the alliance performance. To accomplish these objectives an empirical study was conducted on the european logistics alliances. The empirical study was conducted in two phases. The first one comprised an exploratory study based on a multiple case study analysis. The aim of this exploratory phase was to get deeper assessment of the thesis objectives and be able to create a general framework. the second phase involved an explanatory study using a survey on 95 european logistics alliances where information was collected from both parties. the aim of this second phase was to provide empirical evidence on the measures of performance and the influence of the contractual elements and contract complexity on the performance. Literature on strategic alliances has acknowledged the multi-dimensional nature of performance and the need to analyze the validity of different measures to represent the constituent satisfaction with the alliance. In the case of logistics partnership, performance has been usually associated with the achievement of specific partnership goals and the reach of previous empirical research in the area is still limited. another important limitation of the existing empirical work on logistics alliances is the fact that information is generally only available from one of the partners; therefore, it is often assumed (explicitly or implicitly) that the measures of performance and their valuation are common to both sides of the partnerships. Studies that compare among constituencies are scarce and not complete. Again, the literature on strategic alliances in general suffers from this same drawback. Although researchers have developed diverse frameworks to analyze factors of success and failure in logistics alliances, there is very little empirical evidence which is mainly constra
