Summary/Abstract: This study reveals a guide for best practices related to the outsourcing logistics strategy companies can use in order to improve performance and governance. We used a qualitative research method based on structural interviews in order to investigate the opinion of five managers with wide experience in outsourcing logistics in the Romanian market. The results show that Romanian companies lack a set of guidelines when deciding to outsource logistics, do not put in enough effort into selecting the best provider and emphasize mainly the cost reduction benefits. Our study is original as there are too few best practices guides on this topic available for the Romanian business environment.
