The logistics service providers’ capabilities, the government administration, resources and competitive advantage to the performance of the operational cross-border logistics between Thailand and Malaysia

The economic growth of countries with shared borders primarily relies on effective cross-border logistics operations as accelerated by the relevant parties. Therefore, it is pertinent to investigate the performance of the operational cross-border logistics (POCL) between Thailand and Malaysia, where...
