An Empirical Assessment of the Bowersox & Daugherty Framework Logistics/Supply Chain Management Strategy in Finland

The Bowersox Daugherty (1987) logistics strategy typology (Process Strategy, Market Strategy, and Information Strategy) is an important conceptual framework for studying logistics/supply chain management strategy and its role in logistics/supply chain management outcomes. The purpose of this research is to empirically assess the applicability of the typology in Finnish logistics environment. The three Bowersox/ Daugherty dimensions are used to conceptualize the construct Overall Logistic Strategy (OLS), and then, the OLS was used as an antecedent of Organizational Competitive responsiveness (COMP). Data (n=202) for the study was collected using a questionnaire distributed through various online social networks (e.g., Facebook Group Logistics Network Finland (1239 members), LinkedIn and within personal connections). Although the relationships among OLS-->LCE-->CSC-->COMP are confirmed, model fit statistics were relatively weak in comparison to the previous studies. Managerial and research implications are provided.
