Article Abstract:

An analysis of logistics costs was conducted among US manufacturers to study the use of logistical process innovation. A typology of innovation on innovation cost and radicalness indicates that size and environmental uncertainty has a direct impact on expensive and radical incremental innovation. The study shows that integration has an inverse relation with radical innovation and is not related to incremental logistics innovation.
