Logistics outsourcing is relevant to the discussion on outsourcing in general. For two decades, studies have focused on the questions: "What logistics activities have been outsourced?" "To what extent?" and "Why or why not?". For example, [7] Bardi and Tracey (1991) studied the level of transportation outsourcing in the USA, [23] La Londe and Maltz (1992) surveyed the outsourcing of warehousing and attitudes towards outsourcing in the USA, [12] Daugherty et al. (1996) concentrated on third-party providers of logistics services, and [17] Gooley (1997), [2] Andersson (1997) and [34] Van Laarhoven et al. (2000) conducted surveys on the level and motives of logistics outsourcing in Europe. On the geographical level, similar kinds of research questions have been addressed all over the world (see, e.g. [11] Bolumole (2001) on convenience goods in the UK, [10] Bhatnagar et al. (1999) on logistics outsourcing in Singapore, [8] Beaumont and Sohal (2004) on Australia, [35] Wilding and Juriado (2004) on Europe, [30] Sohail et al. (2004) on Ghana, and [6] Arroyo et al. (2006) on Mexico and comparison with European and US results).
