Please read the full text of the following article: Logistics and electronic commerce: An interorganizational systems perspective. Ira Lewis.Transportation Journal. Lock Haven: Summer 2001. Vol. 40, Iss. 4; pg. 5, 9 pgs Abstract (Article Summary): The coordination of activities within supply chains using information technology can be described as taking place using two broad types of mechanisms, both of which use intermediaries to carry out logistics activities. These are electronic hierarchies, consisting of legally separate firms that share a close relationship within a supply chain, and electronic markets characterized by short-term linkages that result from individual transactions. A key influence of information technology on logistics is the emergence of separate but linked intermediaries for handling physical goods and the information associated with those goods. The author discusses “separate but linked” sets of intermediaries; one set handles physical goods and the other set handles the information associated with those goods, in an essay of 3 pages, please answer the following question: In your opinion, would supply chains operate more efficiently if both functions were handled within the same intermediary organization; in other words, if the same organization handled both the transportation of the physical goods as well as distribution and processing of the information associated with the goods?
