Research On Development Strategy Of Chinese Small And Medium TPLs

With economic globalization and WTO entry,Our country becomes the manufacturing base of the world.Enterprises participate in the globalizing competition in the more extensive area and higher levels.It is pivotal to build comparative strength and establish core competition ability for enterprises to survive and develop in the competition.So,they must outsource some business that irrespective to the core competition ability,third party logistics conform to the direction.As time goes on,the market needs more quickly,stable and safer logistics services.Third party logistics meets the need of logistics system,improve efficiency in the largest degree,shorten logistics time,integrate social logistics resource,and curtail logistics costs in the largest possibility.It becomes the hot topic for our country's enterprises to concern,study and practice.More and more Third Party Logistics Service Providers(TPLs) established just as bamboo shoots in spring after raining in this situation.However,as our country's TPLs are new-born,they encounter many problems in the course of development;especially foreign logistics enterprises are attracted by the market of China,domestic logistics enterprises are facing the chances and challenges, the large number of small and medium logistics enterprises are undoubtedly standing in the breach.Therefore,it is worthy of guiding us in theory and practice by researching into the survival and development problems,analyzing strengths and weaknesses,putting forward to optional strategies,offering efficient methods for the development of our country's small and medium TPLs.In this dissertation,the fundamental contents and viewpoints of logistics are introduced firstly;then combining the status quo and trend of the study in and abroad, the concept of TPL is elicited,and the basic situation of our country's small and medium TPLs is analyzed specifically,the existent cause of small and medium TPLs is explained,and the opportunities and threats encountered and the strengths and weaknesses are expounded.Afterwards,quantitative models are applied to analyze the competition and development strategy adaptability,these modeling methods are the operational methods for enterprises to discover their strengths available and weaknesses existed and for them to find out the compatible development strategy. Then,the optional development strategies of small and medium TPLs of our country are provided.Finally,the developing trend of TPL and developing experience of TPLs in developed country are studied in this dissertation.
