Research On The Formation Issues Of Vehicle Logistics Alliance In China

In recent years, with the rapid development of Chinese automobile industry and automobile consumption market, foreign vehicle logistics enterprises have been quickening steps of occupying Chinese vehicle logistics market. Our vehicle logistics enterprises are confronted with a severe challenge. At present, Chinese vehicle logistics industry is still at an elementary stage. The cost of domestic vehicle logistics is three times of that in Euro-American countries and the empty driving rate of transportation is up to 39%. The overall level of our vehicle logistics enterprises is not high and Chinese enterprises have lagged behind some foreign enterprises of the developed countries. There are universal problems in them, such as the low utilization rate of resources, high cost of logistics and week competitiveness.Logistics alliance brings Chinese vehicle logistics enterprises a new way to integrate the vehicle logistics resources, cut down the vehicle logistics cost and improve their competitiveness. According to the actual condition of domestic vehicle logistics enterprises, this paper has mainly researched the formation process of vehicle logistics alliance in China.This dissertation is divided into three parts as follows:The first part introduces the background and significance of the research, reviews the related studies and introduces the main content. The forms of vehicle logistics alliance are analyzed based on some theoretical knowledge about vehicle logistics and logistics alliance.The second part summarizes the survey and existing problems of domestic vehicle logistics industry, and then points out that Resource Dependence Theory and Transaction Cost Theory are the theoretical foundation of vehicle logistics alliance formation. The necessity and feasibility of forming the vehicle logistics alliance are also discussed thoroughly, which explains that the industry characteristics of the vehicle logistics and the drastic market competition are the cause of vehicle logistics formation, huge market potential, different resources advantages, positive industry policy and the support of information technology are conditions of forming vehicle logistics alliance.The third part is the forming process of vehicle logistics alliance. Based on the vehicle logistical alliance formation process model build, it discusses the strategic analyze process of vehicle logistics alliance formation and the steps involved in selecting alliance partners using relation theory and Analytic Network Process. Next, the hierarchical structure and organizational structure of the vehicle logistics alliance are designed. Then it marks out the trust relation management mechanism, interest distribution mechanism and incentive mechanism. Finally, the paper proposes some suggestions for the vehicle logistics alliance formation from points of view of the government and vehicle logistics alliance respectively.
