Abstract
The primary purpose of this dissertation was to empirically test the relationship between logistics involvement in new product development and improvements in new product development project performance and logistics performance. A logistics involvement new product model was developed that contained seven first order constructs: environmental uncertainty, improving information technology, time and quality based competition, global factors, cross-functional integration, new product development project performance, and logistics performance; and two second order constructs, logistics functional salience and logistics involvement.
