Governança em plataformas logísticas: uma análise dos elementos e atributos a serem considerados neste tipo de empreendimento logístico

The Logistics Platforms are logistics enterprises of large scale that serve an area or region, where they concentrate and realize activities related to production, transport, logistics and goods distribution, using the same basis of services where different workers involved are related to goal of achieving greater efficiency in their operations. This research aimed to identify the attributes and elements that can be applied to the governance of logistics platforms. To reach the purpose of this research, the authors performed a literature review of the main concepts related to governance and logistics platforms and also a survey of features of logistics platforms located in Europe extracted from the reports Feasibility of Freight Villages in the NYMTC Region and An Exploration of the Freight Village Concept and Its Applicability to Ontario. As a result it was found that the governance of this type of enterprise is associated with influence of power, the degree of hierarchy between the different workers involved or participating, and also the levels and synergies that are established in interorganizational relationships both in the public and private spheres.
