From implementing a closed-loop supply chain,companies can generate more value and profits. However,closed-loop supply chains add complexity to overall supply chain management.It is a feasible way for companies to outsource all or part of logistics to third-party providers.Creating a partnership with a provider is essential to the success of outsourcing.This paper focuses on governance of this kind of partnership to achieve a win-win goal for both partners.Based on the scope dimension analysis,the partnership is classified into three different types,each of which is analyzed based on different theoretical perspectives.Partnership governance involves the service recipient,the service provider, and the partnership itself.Governance factors include outsourcing strategy of the recipient,the market position of the provider,and profit,esponsibility,trust of the partnership.A framework of logistics outsourcing partnership governance is finally presented in the whole process of a closed-loop supply chain.
