This paper has a dual objective, to specify the logistical capacities of Moroccan Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) and to understand the process by which these capacities contribute to the logistical performance of LSPs. Methodologically, we used the qualitative approach based on a sample of sixteen LSP. The results of this research show that the main logistical capacities of Moroccan LSPs are flexibility and innovation, which respectively abound in reactivity/proactivity and technological innovation / administrative innovation. Similarly, "customer response" appears to be a purpose that overlaps with logistics performance. Thus, this variable mediates between flexibility and logistics performance. This study also tries to analyse the emergence of new moderating variables, particularly "logistics skills," which strengthen the relationship between innovation and customer response, and "communication with employees" as a support for maintaining performance logistics.
Free economic zones are one of the many ways for governments to alleviate a national crisis situation, by helping increase trade, enhance production, and create provisions of foreign direct investment. That can help in improving the economic condition of the country and enhance the quality of life of the country’s population. Free economic zones, or free zones, in Morocco have also been established for similar reasons, and due to its perfect geographical location, has become one of the top priority destinations for regions across the globe for logistic purposes. To meet this objective, the reflection carried out at the level of this study turned towards the development of free zones in connection with the business environment in emerging countries, taking into consideration the case of Morocco, then it has a very strong logistical evolution as well as an exceptional geographical position for the improvement of its positioning in international competitiveness. This article presents the results of a quantitative study on the business environment of free zones in Morocco as well as on their economic impact aimed at improving the country's logistics level. This study aims to understand the theoretical and practical purpose of establishment of free zones in Morocco, their significance in the logistics industry, and their key advantages and challenges. This study provides a research background for industry practitioners and academicians of different regions alike to understand the use of Moroccan free zones to effectively strategize logistics decisions from a corporate standpoint, leading to better economic performance.
Faced with cumulative competition linked to the globalization of markets and increasingly stringent requirements in terms of performance, many companies are led to ask the question of delocalization part or all of their activities. Delocalization or Offshoring is a strategic decision that requires companies to review and reconfigure their methods of managing operations, especially those relating to the supply chain. The work objective is based on the key factors to be taken into account for the design of the supply chain in the context of offshoring in a context of demand for innovation. First, we address the problem of defining delocalization / Smart Delocalization and Supply Chain. Then, we review the literature to define the specificities of the problem of relocations and their impact on international trade, in particular the case of Morocco, and thus identify all the factors and constraints to be taken into account during the reconfiguration of the chain. supply chain in order to adapt it to the context of the practice of smart delocalization in an innovative context.
