| Sumario: | The logistics services industry has significantly changed in the last decades as well as the logistics service providers (LSP) profile. In the literature, proposals to classify these companies are identified in several studies. Although different criteria support the author´s proposals, there is a tendency to adopt criteria related to the LSP competences in recent years. This article presents a review of the literature and aims to analyze LSP classifications structures and their criteria. To this end, 14 proposals published over a 26-year period were identified, which include both typologies and taxonomies. The results allow us to affirm that criteria such as "asset ownership", adopted in the first proposals of typologies, declined in importance over time, while complexity of the logistics services, customization of these services and LSP capacity to integrate supply chain members became more important. |
