An Empirical Study on Moderating Effect of Logistics Organization Network´s Degree on Logistics Information Network´s Effect

Logistics Network is an important way for resources\´ integration and sharing. As important parts of Logistics Network, Logistics Organization Network (LON) and Logistics Information Network (LIN) are closely linked. With help of the Structural Equation Model (SEM), we attempt to find the LON\´s influence on the "LIN\´s effect" by dividing the empirical data into two groups, according to the quantitative level of LON. On the basis of this, we examine whether LON\´s degree has a moderating effect on LIN\´s effect. The research shows that: LON\´s degree, the degree and willingness of the logistics organizations\´ opening and sharing to resources, does have an obvious moderating effect on LIN\´s effect, which shows that whether LIN can play its due role largely depends on LON\´s degree.
