Abstract

Through a qualitative approach, this paper explore the potential collaborative relationships among logistics services providers in Colombia. The research was supported on several interviews achieved at Spain and Colombia to researchers and logistics managers.  Using a crossed analysis of the literature and the interviews’ data, several theoretical proposals were synthetized in order to explain the barriers to horizontal collaboration perceived by managers in the LSP context.  As a conclusion, the perception of the profit/risk ratio is the most used decision making mechanism by logistics managers to get into a collaborative alliance.
