Abstract

The cross-border electronic commerce (e-commerce) has become a major stream in the context of globalization. Third-party providers (3PLs) play a crucial role in linking with international business. This research seeks to explore the responsiveness of Chinese 3PL in the context of cross-border e-commerce through researching on influential factors, such as the level of specialization, the degree of goal-oriented congruence of partners, and cultural differences. The proposed contribution for this research will help Chinese 3PL providers improve their responsive performance in the context of cross-border e-commerce, from the perspective of the Global Value Chain. Also, it helps the 3PL providers identify the potential of value-added creation for both 3PL customers and themselves in the context of cross-border e-commerce.
