A framework for comparing supply chain logistics and the strategic orientation of
the firm is explored. Seventeen attributes of supply chain logistics management are
investigated along with five stages of strategic evolution of firms. Specific findings
note management challenges when it is either below or beyond the strategic level
of the firm. In addition, this research highlights how supply chain logistics managers
can prioritize training, development, and purchasing activities.

Presents a framework for explaining the relationship between strategy, structure,
and logistics in the context of a changing environment. In response to new competitive
pressures, a manufacturing enterprise is emerging in which resources may now be dispersed
worldwide. As distances between production facilities and pressures for fast delivery
increase, the coordination of these dispersed manufacturing resources becomes a critical
activity. Argues that logistics is well-positioned to assume a unique role in bridging
strategy and structure in the new manufacturing environment. Develops a new model
of the strategy-structure relationship that recognizes the integral role that logistics
will play in creating the "fit" necessary to achieve competitive success. The framework
suggests that performance will be higher when the firm's strategy and structure are
consistent with the strengths inherent in the firm's logistics choices.
