Taking its starting point in a case of an integrated logistics network, described and analysedin terms of resource interfaces, the paper contributes to the understanding of resourcechanges in logistics networks and how the industrial network approach can contribute tofurther understanding of supply chain management and logistics integration. The paperfocus on how companies influence each other in order to develop efficient logisticssolutions and concludes that influencing occurs as more informal, indirect and interactivethan anticipated in prior mainstream literature. The paper discusses the importance of thephysical/technical components in logistics networks and complement the prevailing viewthat it is merely ?managerial inertia? through inappropriate measures of performance andlack of common goals that inhibits the development of an integrated supply chain.
