“…In turn, the logistics capability, including logistics chains, has the following attributes: customer satisfaction (GLRT at Michigan State University, 1995; Zhang et al, 2005), improving their quality of service (Lai et al, 2004) and loyalty (Flint et al, 2005); a focus on supply and demand (Morash et al, 1996) as well as information support (Zhao et al, 2001); creating prerequisites for the use of logistics providers (Lai et al, 2004;Coyle et al, 2013); attributes such as added value, rarity and complexity of imitation (Olavarrieta and Ellinger, 1997); creating prerequisites for integration (Mentzer et al, 2004); the possibility of eliminating uncertainty and risk (Wang et al, 2018); ensuring the sustainability of logistics chains (Ponomarov and Holcomb, 2009) and their flexibility (Naim et al, 2010); dependence on the geographical location of the enterprise (Sharma and Gupta, 2012); as well as a link to innovation (Soosay et al, 2008;Hellström and Nilsson, 2011).…”

The logistics chain creates value for the end user by competing with other logistics chains, therefore it is necessary to more accurately measure, calculate and evaluate its potential depending on the specific management situation. The solution of these objectives requires qualitative methods of research of logistics chains based on the use of classification attributes and dichotomies of management objects, the combination of which allows us to justify clear criteria for assessing the potential of a logistics chain of two types. The article substantiates the content of the terms “potential of a logistics chain” and “logistics potential”, offers options for the potential of a logistics chain focused on creating values for end consumers of products and services; based on the set of relevant qualitative attributes, the structure of the potential of a logistics chain, including four groups of criteria, is substantiated; a methodology for calculating the potential of a logistics chain is developed. The obtained results will allow us to assess the compliance of the potential of logistics chain with the demands and content of the value of end consumers of products and services; to determine its strengths and weaknesses; to develop measures to adapt the potential of the logistics chain to a specific management situation and create methodological prerequisites for digitalization of the methodology for calculating the potential of a logistics chain.

“…The studies found the in-house logistics provides benefit to the firm, which increases the performance of the firm by reducing the labor cost and operation cost (Anderson & Narus, 1995). Still, there are clear indication of in-house logistics that are directly linked with business strategy and firm performance; logistics capability also focus on the geographic location of the firm like in America where researchers constructed this model (Sharma & Gupta, 2012). In-house logistics can increase work efficiency because the firm has total control over its workers, which give them positive result.…”

This study investigates the role of logistics capability and logistics outsourcing on the performance of manufacturing companies in Pakistan. It examines how logistics capability affects firm's performance, why outsourcing is essential and how firms benefited if they outsource the service rather than establishing their own logistics capability. This research is based on a survey using structured a questionnaire to collect the primary data. The target population is logistics specialists of manufacturing companies in Pakistan with head offices based on Karachi, that have their own logistics or outsource their logistics. The questionnaire has been distributed to 500 respondents in 113 manufacturing companies in Pakistan. Confirmatory factor analysis has been used as statistical techniques to check the factor loading of the components, and SEM (Structural Equation Model) is used to check the impact of logistics capability on firm's performance as well as the role of logistics outsourcing as a mediator. The findings of the research suggest logistics capability has positive impact on the performance of the manufacturing companies in Pakistan, and logistics capability has also an impact on logistics outsourcing. On the other hand, the study found that logistics outsourcing has no significant impact on the manufacturing companies in Pakistan.

“…Prior to the mid-1980s, in business world, non-core functions of the organization are most likely to be outsourced while core functions that are essential to the company are kept in-house, but outsourcing in libraries still remains controversial (Matsuoka-Motley, 2011; Sharma and Gupta, 2012).…”

“…The supporters prove this concept with successful examples of outsourcing library functions. Successful cases, during the past five years for instance, academic libraries in Japan (Matsuoka-Motley, 2011); science and technology libraries in northern India (Sharma and Gupta, 2012); law libraries in UK (Brown, 2014); public university libraries in Kenya (Mwai et al , 2014), etc.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the bibliometric study of journal articles in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) related to outsourcing library functions, including publication trends from 1994 to 2015, core journals, authorship and citing articles used for librarians and researchers to have a basic reference of relevant resources. Design/methodology/approach The methodology consisted of journal article searches in SSCI with 1994-2015 as the date limiter. The search terms came from the topic of outsourcing to the topic of library by using the Boolean operator; and results were used in the Web of Science (WOS) database based on pre-determined categories and were evaluated based on the five research questions about core journals, authorship and citing articles. Findings The findings were based on the five research questions evaluated in the bibliometric study. There were 55 articles published on the topics of outsourcing and library authored by 80 individuals between 1994 and 2015. In the 55 articles analyzed, there were 24 different journals represented with 150 times cited. Originality/value This study takes the bibliometric analysis approach, which has rarely been used on the topics of outsourcing and library articles with the specific focus on library finance issues. It provides a foundation for further research on the topic as well as resources to be used by librarians and researchers.
