Abstract :
In an era of downsizing and financial cutbacks, the operational efficiency of third party logistics providers dictates their competitiveness and/or survival, in order to help the third party logistics providers in China to enhance their productivity and price leverage in the increasingly competitive third party logistics market, this paper proposes a data envelopment analysis to measure the operational efficiency of 10 large third party logistics providers in the stock market of China. Combined with the multiple variable regression analysis technique, it further analyzes the factors to affect the operational efficiency of those 10 third party logistics providers
