摘要

摘要:行业分析人士指出,电子商务的兴起增加了对“最后一英里”配送服务的需求,“最后一英里”配送服务指的是无法通过包裹运输公司运送到消费者所在地的大件、笨重物品(如家具)的运输。尽管最后一英里配送已成为零售物流的关键,但没有研究调查哪些运营商更有可能实现最后一英里配送的多元化。由于此类决策需要大量投资,汽车运营商有兴趣了解同行在这一领域的行为。利用资源协调理论和彭罗斯的企业成长理论,我们设计了中间区间理论,解释了为什么承运人提供少于卡车装载(LTL)或加速服务将增加他们随后提供最后一英里交付服务的可能性。我们的理论进一步解释了为什么这些服务将作为替代品,当运营商同时提供快速服务时,提供LTL服务对随后提供最后一英里交付的边际效应会变小,反之亦然。为了验证我们的理论,我们从行业权威刊物《入库物流》(Inbound Logistics)中收集了一个档案面板数据集,该数据集总结了运营商的各种配送服务。离散时间事件历史模型的结果证实了我们的理论化预测。

Last-Mile Delivery in the Motor-Carrier Industry: A Panel Data Investigation Using Discrete Time Event History Analysis
Abstract:Industry analysts have noted that the rise of e-commerce has increased the demand for last-mile delivery services, defined as the last-mile transportation of large, bulky items (e.g., furniture) that cannot be shipped by parcel carriers to consumers’ locations. Although last-mile delivery has become crucial for retail logistics, no research has examined which carriers are more likely to diversify into last-mile delivery. As such decisions require large investments, motor carriers have an interest in understanding their peers’ behaviors in this domain. Drawing on resource orchestration theory and Penrose’s theory of firm growth, we devise middle-range theory that explains why carriers’ provision of less-than-truckload (LTL) or expedite services will increase their likelihood of subsequently offering last-mile delivery services. Our theory further explains why these services will serve as substitutes such that the marginal effect of providing LTL services on subsequently offering last-mile delivery will be less when a carrier also offers expedite services, and vice versa. To test our theory, we assemble an archival panel dataset from Inbound Logistics, a premier industry publication, that summarizes carriers’ various delivery services. Results from discrete time event history models corroborate our theorized predictions.
