Abstract

Emergency humanitarian aid, events, construction or military, there are many "kinds" of logistics studied by the scientific community for several years now and qualified as "temporary". Beyond their particularities, the question is to know if all of these "temporary logistics" can fit in a unique logic? Should we talk about different temporary logistics, or can we try to define "the" temporary logistics? If each sector has different goals and practices in logistics, is it possible for them to communicate and share their experiences? Based on a review of contextualized literatures, and in light of contingency theory, this article elaborates about a unique temporary logistics beyond the contexts.
