目的-提供一个第三方物流（3 PL）研究的分类，并在此基础上，制定一个研究议程，为这一领域的study.Design/方法/途径-建议的3 PL研究分类框架是基于一个全面的文献综述，集中在同行评议的期刊论文发表在1990 - 2005年期间。共有114个学术来源已检索和分析的研究目的和性质，所采用的方法，理论方法和层次的analysis.Findings -审查表明，第三方物流研究是实证描述性的性质，它通常缺乏理论基础。调查研究是主要采用的方法，反映了物流领域的实证研究传统。它确定了某些知识差距，并为未来的研究提出了五个建议。它建议重点应转向更规范，理论驱动和定性方法为基础的研究。它还认为，进一步的经验...
Purpose – To provide a taxonomy of third party logistics (3PL) research and, based on that, to develop a research agenda for this field of study.Design/methodology/approach – The proposed 3PL research classification framework is based on a comprehensive literature review, which concentrates on peer‐reviewed journal papers published within the period 1990‐2005. A total of 114 academic sources have been retrieved and analysed in terms of research purpose and nature, method employed, theoretical approach and level of analysis.Findings – The review reveals that 3PL research is empirical‐descriptive in nature and that it generally lacks a theoretical foundation. Survey research is the dominant method employed, reflecting the positivist research tradition within logistics. It identifies certain knowledge gaps and develops five propositions for future research. It suggests that focus should be directed towards more normative, theory‐driven and qualitative method‐based studies. It also argues that further empiric...
