Los resultados muestran que las empresas de transporte de mercancías por carretera que utilizan plataformas logísticas adecuadamente son más eficientes. Otros resultados interesantes también fueron obtenidos corroborando que la liberalización de los sectores del transporte, la gestión de inventarios y el uso de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicaciones lleva a mejoras en la eficiencia técnica de las empresas.Universidad de HuelvaUniversidad de Cantabria20142014-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10902/7898Revista de Economía Mundial 38, 2014, 127-144reponame:UCrea Repositorio Abierto de la Universidad de Cantabriainstname:Universidad de Cantabria (UC)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.unican.es:10902/78982026-06-02T12:39:31Z |
