Logistics performance, Pharmaceutical industry, Souss-Massa, Structural equation modelingAbstract
The aim of the present work is to shed light on the determining factors in the logistics performance of companies operating in the pharmaceutical sector in the Souss-Massa region. In order to maintain harmony between the object of our research and the methodological path taken to apprehend it, we have developed a conceptual model made up of thirteen variables spread over four levels stemming from the company's governance mechanisms, its logistics practices, its logistics tools and the company's structural contingency.
Starting from a post-positivist paradigm that we have embedded in a hypothetico-deductive reasoning, the transition from the theoretical base to the empirical side of the study will be made through an investigation by third-order structural modeling with latent variables estimated according to the repeated indicators approach following a type II model (reflective-formative). In future work, this model will be tested on a designed sample of pharmaceutical industry partners (laboratories, dispatchers, pharmacies, etc.).
