The influence of national culture on third party logistics outsourcing: An Asia-Pacific focus

This work aims to contribute to the theory with regards to the effects of national cultural influence on the decision-making and implementation process of logistics outsourcing within multi-national corporations in the Asia-Pacific region. By attempting to investigate one of the areas where relationships fail, this paper aims to identify where organisations utilising 3PL services can gain insight into the effect of culture on success in company relationships, and be able to use this to gain a competitive advantage through outsourcing relationships.
