Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic forced many companies to alter and improve their logistics activities as part of their business logistics strategies, to obtain cost and service advantages. In this regard, to lessen the detrimental effects on the business environment, it is critical to develop different strategies according to the nature of the disruptions and uncertainties. This paper explores uncertainty sources confronted by third-party logistics service providers (3PLs), identifies disruptions, reveals the resources used to cope with these and develops strategies for the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing upon Resource Orchestration Theory (ROT), we reveal the important role of resource allocation in logistics and supply chains (SCs). This study proposes a conceptual framework that describes resources which can be used for strategy development in the face of uncertainties. In terms of managerial implications, this study extends knowledge in the field by providing insights enabling 3PLs to improve their capabilities and increase their performance. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

新冠肺炎大流行期间的中断管理和战略发展：第三方物流服务提供商（3PL）的视角

新冠肺炎疫情迫使许多公司改变和改进物流活动，作为其商业物流战略的一部分，以获得成本和服务优势。在这方面，为了减少对商业环境的不利影响，根据干扰和不确定性的性质制定不同的战略至关重要。本文探讨了第三方物流服务提供商（3PL）面临的不确定性来源，确定了中断，揭示了用于应对这些中断的资源，并制定了应对新冠肺炎大流行的策略。利用资源编排理论，我们揭示了资源分配在物流和供应链中的重要作用。本研究提出了一个概念框架，描述了在面对不确定性时可用于战略制定的资源。在管理含义方面，本研究通过提供见解来扩展该领域的知识，使第三方物流能够提高其能力和绩效。©2023 Informa UK Limited，交易名称为Taylor&Francis Group。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications publishes original and challenging work that has a clear applicability to the business world. As a result the journal concentrates on papers of an academic journal standard but aimed at the practitioner as much as the academic. High quality contributions are therefore welcomed from both academics and professionals working in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Papers should further our understanding of logistics and supply chain management and make a significant original contribution to knowledge. In this context the term "logistics" is taken in its broadest context as "the management of processes, flow of materials and associated information along the entire supply chain.
