“…Logistics service providers should show their customers that they can offer much more value for logistics services than their competitors in the market, and according to Paché and Medina (2007) it is the only way to offer a sustainable competitive advantage. Customers' reliance to logistics service providers will become stronger as the value created by logistics service provider's increases.…”

Competition starts with existence of life itself. In order to survive in the globalizing world, it is a great necessity for companies to provide sustainable competitive advantage. In this sense, in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage, factors affecting competition should be deeply perceived and implemented. In recent years, logistics sector has had a complex structure as global competition has been increasing and logistics capabilities are getting more and more critical for the success of logistics service providers. For this reason, it is aimed to determine the attitudes of senior managers who are working in the logistics service provider companies in Izmir towards the factors affecting competition. For this purpose, Delphi method, which is a qualitative research method, has been applied in this research. In the first round of Delphi research, 29 factors affecting competition obtained from the literature review have been asked to experts under six groups and a consensus has been tried to be reached. As a result of the first round, for 6 factors a consensus could not be reached, and then the statements have been re-evaluated and detailed, and another Delphi form for second round has been prepared and implemented. According to the findings, t the valuable, sense of market opportunities and sensitivity to the market, the ability to integrate employees' knowledge and skills with the routines of their operations, after-sales service and reliability which are the factors affecting competition for logistics service providers have been fully agreed upon by logistics service providers. All factors related to dynamic capabilities approach associated with competition in the literature have been considered important by logistics service providers. There has no consensus on the factors related to threats / barriers faced by new entrants in the logistics sector and bargaining power of service buyers.

Coopetition (simultaneous cooperation and competition) between organizations has emerged as a prominent and critical industrial practice that allows organizations to increase combined welfare through cooperation while maximizing individual gains through competition. The formulation and enactment of such an organizational strategy entails designing and operating information systems that maximize benefits while minimizing costs from concomitant cooperation and competition. Coopetition raises new concerns and considerations about the design of data, processes, and interfaces of information systems. Analyzing coopetition can be challenging since cooperation and competition are paradoxical social behaviors that are undergirded by contradictory logics, hypotheses, and assumptions. Therefore, the ability of decision-makers to represent and reason about coopetition in a structured and systematic manner can be beneficial as it can support their efforts to co-design organizational strategies and information systems. This paper presents insights about the initial stages of an exploratory research project that is focused on the development of a modeling framework to support representation and reasoning of interorganizational coopetitive strategies. The objectives of this paper are to outline the goals of this research project which include: (1) identifying the primary characteristics for modeling and analyzing coopetitive relationships, as well as (2) proposing artefacts for expressing and evaluating these relationships.

Les questions relatives à la logistique urbaine occupent désormais une place importante dans la littérature académique, mais aussi dans le management des organisations publiques et privées. Il ressort clairement des travaux de recherche conduits ces dernières années que des actions concertées, voire planifiées, sous la responsabilité d'une sorte de « pilote », doivent être initiées pour éviter la propagation d'effets entropiques (encombrement des infrastructures, multiplication des nuisances, etc.). L'article aborde plus spécifiquement la logistique urbaine en argumentant sur l'importance que pourraient prendre à terme les PSL en la matière, en s'appuyant pour cela sur leurs ressources et compétences, atout majeur pour relever les défis de la « ville durable » de demain. Seuls émergent actuellement des signaux faibles, à partir d'expériences ponctuelles, mais ils pourraient être porteurs de profondes mutations dans l'organisation des réseaux d'approvisionnement dédiés à la circulation des marchandises dans la ville.
