Abstract:The use of digital technologies and data in industry has become increasingly important nowadays. This research aims on the digitalization process in the Logistics sector, and mainly on the influences the size of a Logistics organization has when it comes to successfully digitalizing processes. This research will address a comparison between SMEs and large organizations in the Dutch Logistics sector regarding digitalization and use of data. The first research method is a literature review to explore the structural differences between small and large organizations and to validate factors that are found during the statistical analysis of a survey. The second research method is this statistical analysis of survey data from a survey, conducted by Dutch branch associations in the Logistics sector. The qualitative data that was gathered with the survey will be tested with the Chi-Square test of Independence, to find correlations between pairs of variables. The research will contribute in the form of a conceptual model in which the differences regarding digitalization and data use between small, medium and large organizations are established.
