A Research on A Development Model of Corporate Logistics Concepts and Purposes

关于企业物流概念和目的的研究，一直以来都没有受到物流界学者和研究者的重视。因此，本研究在物流领域的全新研究方面具有重要意义，我们是唯一一个在过去进行过两次研究的小组，在这个意义上，1991年和1996年向工业企业，日本物流系统研究所的700名成员发出了问卷，主要目的是在分析调查结果的基础上，提出企业物流概念和目的发展过程的假设模型，为了根据统计数字调查所提出的假设模型是否正确，通过问卷调查，对日本企业物流理念和目的的现状和未来发展阶段进行评估，根据1991年和1995年调查结果的差异，明确1900年、1995年和2000年三个不同时期企业物流概念和目的的历史和未来趋势。结果证明，我们提出的概念模型是合理的，确定了日本各阶段的发展水平，并进行了时序比较分析。

Research on corporate logistics concepts and purposes has been paid little attention to by both academicians and researchers in the fields of logistics. Therefore this study is of great importance in terms of a brand new research in the field of logistics and we are only one group who has made research twice in the past and in that sense questionnaires have been mailed out to industrial firms, 700 members of Japan Institute of Logistics Systems concerned in 1991 and 1996, respectively.The main purposes are to propose a hypothetical model for development process of corporate logistics concepts and purposes based on analysis of survey results, to investigate if the proposed hypothetical model is correct or not based on the statistical figures, to estimate present and future development stage of corporate logistics concepts and purposes in Japan based on questionnaires to make time comparison in terms of differences of results between survey of 1991 and that of 1995 and to make clear historical and future trends on corporate logistics concepts and purposes for three different periods, 1900, 1995 and 2000.As a result, our proposed conceptual model is justified and development level of Japan phases are confirmed and time sequence comparison of an analysis is made.
