Abstract

V znanstveni literaturi se pojem logistična platforma v zadnjih letih vse pogosteje uporablja. Avtorji logistično platformo povezujejo z vsebinsko raznovrstnimi primeri iz prakse. Pri tem ne podajo splošnega modela, ki bi omogočal lažji pristop k njeni zasnovi v praksi glede na poznavanje verjetnih koristi in ob upoštevanju aktualnih strategij. Da bi zapolnili vrzel, smo k raziskavi pristopili na uravnotežen način, s kvalitativnim in s kvantitativnim pristopom. S pojasnitvijo razumevanja smo želeli doprinesti k sprostitvi potenciala omenjenega koncepta za dobrobit logističnega sektorja. Raziskava po različnih sektorjih je bila izvedena v Sloveniji, na Poljskem in v Singapurju. Rešene spletne ankete smo analizirali z vidika štirih vrst organizacij: logistična podjetja; nelogistična podjetja; panožna združenja / državne agencije / zbornice; izobraževalne ustanove. Logistične platforme so večnivojski pojavi, ki lahko na makro nivoju multiplicirajo učinke dosežene na mikro in mezo nivoju. Razvoj obetajočih medorganizacijskih konceptov, ki vključuje različne skupine deležnikov, je lahko neučinkovit zaradi razlik v razumevanju koncepta samega. Raziskava je potrdila predlagani splošni teoretični model logistične platforme, ki podaja gradnike in geografska / poslovna področja. Dodatno, mednarodna raziskava je razkrila nekatere statistično značilne razlike v razumevanju pojma po posameznih državah. Čeprav so vsi anketiranci imeli dostop do enotne globalne baze podatkov, je jasno, da na razumevanje koncepta lahko vplivajo lokalni dejavniki, ki kot taki lahko spodbujajo ali zavirajo mednarodno integracijo in jih je potrebno nadalje raziskati. Predlagamo splošni model logistične platforme in si prizadevamo dvigniti osveščenost o raziskovanem medorganizacijskem konceptu in o kompleksnosti njegove implementacije v prakso. Z vidika praktikov je zavedanje, da imajo lahko različne skupine deležnikov različno dojemanje vsebine koncepta, pomembno in bo pomagalo okrepiti delo na medorganizacijskih projektih z dajanjem večje pozornosti razjasnitvi osnovnih dejstev. Nadalje naše delo ponuja akademikom mnogo možnosti za nadaljnje raziskovalno delo.

Secondary title:	Understanding of logistics platform in theory and practice
Secondary abstract:	In the scientific literature, the term logistics platform is increasingly used in recent years. But it happens that authors use the term logistics platform in contextually diverse ways. In parallel, they do not present a comprehensive theoretical model that would facilitate its practical implementation in accordance to the knowledge of its likely benefits and in compliance with current strategies. Consequently we have approached to study logistics platforms in a balanced way, with qualitative and quantitative approach. We want to help clarify understanding of the logistic platform concept so as to release its potential for the benefit of the logistics sector. Cross-sectional research was conducted in Slovenia, Poland and Singapore. Web-based survey responses were obtained from four organization types: logistics companies; production or service non-logistics companies; branch associations / state agencies / chambers of commerce; and educational institutions. Logistics platforms are a very much a multi-level phenomenon which, through macro-level organization, may multiply the micro- and meso-level effects obtained. The joint development of promising inter-organizational concepts which involves different stakeholder groups can be inefficient owing to differences in concept content understanding. Our survey has confirmed the proposed general logistics platform theoretical model regarding constituents and geographical/business areas. Moreover, our international comparison reveals some statistically significant differences in perceptions. Although all the respondents have access to a single global database, it is clear that an understanding of the concept could be additionally influenced by local factors which, as such, may promote or inhibit international integration and should be further investigated. We propose a general logistics platform model and seek to raise awareness of the complexity surrounding the implementation of this particular inter-organizational concept. From the viewpoint of practitioners, the knowledge that different stakeholder groups may have divergent perceptions of the concept's content is important and will help strengthen inter-organizational projects by devoting attention to basic fact unification. Through this study we offer to the academics wide possibilities for further research.
