dc.description.abstractThis study explores the potential of horizontal collaboration (HC) in urban last-mile logistics (LML) to enhance sustainability and competitiveness amidst the rapid growth of e-commerce and urbanisation. Through a comprehensive literature review and a plan to undertake semi-structured interviews with logistics professionals, the research identifies key drivers, strategies, and challenges of HC. Theoretical lenses of Transaction Cost Economics and the Resource-Based View are used to understand the benefits of HC, including reduced transaction costs and enhanced competitiveness through resource synergy. The study aims to develop an initial sustainable theoretical framework for HC in LML, contributing to improved sustainability outcomes and increased competitiveness in urban last-mile delivery.en
