Abstract

PurposeRoad freight transportation companies need to take advantage of information and communication technologies to develop capabilities. This study proposes a framework to guide road freight transportation companies to achieve data visibility in their operations by developing such capabilities. By proposing this framework, this research contributes to literature and practice, highlighting the capabilities and the respective supporting technologies for improved data visibility in road freight transportation.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method approach is used to develop the framework, considering three methodological steps. In phase 1, the capabilities are identified in the literature and validated by experts. In phase 2, an empirical assessment of cause–effect relationships between capabilities is performed using a multiple case study and DEMATEL. Lastly, in phase 3, an analysis of the cause model and significant associations is conducted to enable the development of the framework. In addition, the proposed framework was validated by the experts interviewed.FindingsThe results provide a framework that explains the link between the technology-enabled data visibility capabilities in road freight transportation operations. In addition, a pathway was established that road freight transportation companies could follow to achieve data visibility in their operations by developing such capabilities.Originality/valueThis work develops the first framework that provides a path for data visibility in road freight transportation operations from adopting certain technologies. The insights are compelling for researchers and practitioners to optimize the decision-making process for adopting technologies and developing capabilities related to data visibility.
照亮前行之路:释放信息和通信技术的潜力,提高道路运输数据的可见度
目的公路货运企业需要利用信息和通信技术发展能力。本研究提出了一个框架,以指导道路货运公司通过开发这种能力来实现其运营中的数据可见性。通过提出这一框架,本研究为文献和实践做出了贡献,突出了提高公路货运数据可见性的能力和相应的支持技术。设计/方法/方法混合方法用于开发框架,考虑三个方法步骤。在阶段1中,在文献中确定功能并由专家验证。在阶段2中,使用多个案例研究和DEMATEL对能力之间的因果关系进行经验评估。最后,在阶段3中,对原因模型和重要关联进行分析,以实现框架的开发。此外,所提出的框架得到了访谈专家的验证。研究结果提供了一个框架,解释了公路货运业务中技术支持的数据可见性能力之间的联系。此外,还建立了一条道路货运公司可以遵循的途径,通过发展这种能力在其业务中实现数据可见性。原创性/价值本工作开发了第一个框架,该框架通过采用某些技术为公路货运操作中的数据可见性提供了途径。这些见解对研究人员和实践者来说是有吸引力的,可以优化决策过程,以采用与数据可见性相关的技术和开发能力。
