AN EXPLORATION OF THE CONCEPT OF LOGISTICS: A CONSTITUTIVE APPROACH.
Abstract
Constructs, or idea symbols, of logistics were developed at three levels of definition: as a socio-economic function; as a set of system processes; and as a set of work-functions. Three such definitions were developed. Research of secondary data developed constructs which constituted two explanatory definitions: business logistics and military logistics. The survey of university professors developed a third definition which was used for comparative purposes. In essence, the three represented differing philosophies of logistics. (Author)
