An empirical study on the Mechanism of Action between three Logistics Sub-networks

The networking of Logistics is a necessary developing trend of modern Logistics industry. Based on the Logistics Network Theory and the actual, This paper make a study of the Mechanism of Action of three Logistics Sub-networks, which are the Logistics Infrastructure Network, the Logistics Information Network and the Logistics Organization Network. Study the Mechanism of Action of three Logistics Sub-networks will help to realize logistics networking and the resource sharing. This paper defines the concept of the Degree of Logistics Networking. Meanwhile, it uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) to validating the hypotheses based on the result of 245 pieces of questionnaire, then analyses the mechanism of action of three Logistics sub-networks. Finally it gives the conclusion: the effect between Logistics Information Network and Logistics Organization Network, make a positive construction of the two Sub-networks. The Logistics Organization Network promotes the construction of the logistics infrastructure network. The effecting of the three logistics sub-networks will improve the degree of logistics networking, and realize the resource sharing and resources integration.
