Reverse Logistics, Firm Competitiveness, Technology

This study examines the relationship between reverse logistics and firm competitiveness in the Nigerian food and beverages industry. The study also considers the moderating role of technology in the relationship between reverse logistics and firm competitiveness. Reverse logistics is measured in terms of reuse, recycling, and repackaging, while firm competitiveness is measured in terms of productivity and cost reduction. The analysis is based on cross-sectional data collected through a structured questionnaire from 95 purposively selected managers representing 11 listed food and beverages firms. The Alpha method is used to determine the reliability of all measures. The regression results show that both productivity and cost reduction are positively and significantly related to all the three measures of reverse logistics (reuse, recycling, and repackaging). Also, there is evidence that technology exerts a positive and highly significant effect on the relationship between reverse logistics and firm competitiveness. The managerial implications of these findings are discussed.
