Upgrading may require the ontogeny of co-operative relationships, or coalescences, involving large-scale logistic service ?rms and their customers: multinational enterprises. Both sides may be defiant and/or unable to engage in upgrading strategies in an alliance context. Fourth-party logistics is an example of a logistic product innovation entailing research-based advice as well as the design and implementation of immature supply-chain solutions.
