Abstract

The large outsourcing and refocusing movement, regarding the key skills, initiated by many companies, has made a new profession emerge: the one of the logistics service provider. The logistics service providers, along the multi-actor Supply Chains, are considered as real pilots of the interfaces and represent a radical innovation on the managerial, strategical and operational plan. Our article aims to bring a comprehensive literature review of this deep mutation, through a synthesis contribution that retraces the evolution of the logistics function towards the emergence of the logistics service phenomenon.
