Study On The Factors Of Joint Development Between Manufacturing And Logistics Industry

Now, with the implementation of some policies, logistics industry has achieved great development, while it still confront with some troubles like low-level and low-valued services. To meet requirements of economic structural adjustment and economic growth pattern transformation put forward by the government, it is imperative for logistics companies to speed up their transformation and upgrading by key means of their interactive development with manufacturers. It is not the fresh topic to promote the joint development between manufacturing and logistic industry. From2004, the national development and reform commission issued "about opinion to promote the development of modern logistics industry in our country", to2011the logistics industry "country of eight" adopted. Since2009, the state council promulgated the "logistics industry restructuring and revitalization plan", to2010"on promoting the joint development between manufacturing and logistics industry". National and local governments encourage the development of the logistic, and at the same time, promote the joint development between logistic industry and manufacturing. Up to now, however, there still exist many problems, such as the high logistics cost, the low level of cooperation, and so on. This paper considers the following reasons. First, enterprises could not grasp the key influence factors about the cooperation. Second, enterprises are not very good at understanding of relations between the two sides, which resulting in the unclear orientation. Third, lack evaluation standard on cooperation.To solve this problem, this thesis defined the connotations of interactive relation between logistics and manufacturers from multi-disciplinary respective, and at the same time analyzed it from lateral and vertical angels. Meanwhile, after literature review and expert interviews, it summarized some key influence factors of this interactive relation, and use factor analysis method to reduce them to three dimensions such as organizational characteristics, relation orientation and external environment, for13factors.Based on above, the author puts forward the research assumption models on the relationship between factors and evaluation endexes, in which three variables to evaluate relationship is the contribution degree, close degree, willingness to continued cooperation. In addition, in this formed non-competitive strategic alliance, the logistics enterprises put more importance to establishment and the maintenance of relationship, so the author will stand in the perspective of logistics enterprises to study the problem. In the empirical study, the author takes a statistical analysis to93valid sample dates:analysis the effectiveness of the sample date by descriptive statistics; verify the validity of the sample date by factor analysis and reliability; verify hypothesis by regression analysis. According to the results of regression analysis,(1) organizational characteristics factors and relationship orienter factors can positively affect the evaluation index of the linkage relationship.(2) Environmental factors can positively affect contribution degree and willingness to continue cooperation, but not significantly affect close degree.In the end, the author discusses the conculsions and research value of this study, and point out the future research direction.
