Abstract

This study, based on a survey of 1200 manufacturing firms in Taiwan, uses structural equation modelling to examine the relationships among logistics capabilities, logistics performance, and financial performance. Results show that the information-based capability is the most critical since it can impact upon benchmarking capability, flexibility capability, and logistics performance. Moreover, information-based capability also indirectly impacts on financial performance through logistics performance.
