Abstract

Implementation of horizontal collaboration (HC) between competing companies will influence environmental and socio-economic objectives of sustainable development in logistics transportation sector. Real application of HC is challenging, and past literature identified significant barriers related to HC implementation and suggested to evaluate the relative importance of the identified barriers and interactions of the barriers by using causal analysis approaches. Therefore, our study addressed this research gap and try to present inter-relationship of the significant barriers of HC implementation in logistics by using rough set theory (closely related to fuzzy set theory and used to determine structural relationship within vague and deafening data) along with decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the impact of expert's weight coefficient on the final evaluation result. Outcome of the study helps logistics manager to focusing on to improve inter-organisational environment to adopt this sustainable business strategy.
