Humanitarian logistics has received increasing interest both from
logistics academics and practitioners as a result of the dramatic
increase in both natural and man-made disasters. The impact on
affected populations can be all the more limited as much as the
logistics operations in response to emergencies are effective and
efficient. Collaboration with various relevant actors involving in
the emergency resolution can help to reduce costs, increase speed,
and improve the leanness/agility level in the humanitarian supply
chain, and viceversa, poor coordination among them is cited as an
explanation for performance gaps. As disasters become increasingly
complex better collaboration not only with government agencies,
military units, humanitarian organizations, but also through
partnerships with private business becomes more and more important.
However, such partnerships are not easy as organizations in the two
sectors are extremely different. The main aim of this study is
exploring more in depth the partnership between profit and
non-profit in emergency relief operations, with a specific
attention to the cross-learning potential for both the logistics
service provider (profit) and the humanitarian organization
(non-profit).
