Third-Party Logistics (3PL) industry revenues in the United States increased by 7.2% from $149.1 billion in 2010 to $159.9 billion in 2011 (Davies, 2012). However, the growth in the 3PL industry was in jeopardy because shippers viewed their 3PL partners as mostly transactional and incapable of fostering collaborative business relationships leading to the types of inter-organizational innovation required to solve the vexing challenges facing global supply chains (Langley, 2012). The problem examined in the study was the deficiency of collaborative relationships leading to organizational innovation within the third-party logistics industry in the United States. This quantitative, cross-sectional study used two published and validated survey instruments to measure the predictor variable of collaborative relationships and outcome variable of organizational innovation. Data were collected from 222 employees working in the 3PL industry and analyzed using SPSS statistical software. The results linked to the first research question indicated that increased collaboration between 3PLs and shipper-partners can produce greater organizational innovation. The Pearson product-moment correlation test revealed that the relationship between the predictor and outcome variables was moderately positive with r = .36 and statistically significant with a p-value < .0005. The results pertaining to the second research question utilizing a multiple linear regression analysis indicated that demographic variables (age and gender) were not a significant amount of the variance in organizational innovation over and above what was explained by collaborative relationships with p-values of .42 and .31 respectively. This study provided new empirical evidence on the statistically significant relationships between increased collaborative relationships and organizational innovation that can assist 3PLs in creating new training programs, corporate policies, and best practices that can be applied practically within the 3PL industry as well as a foundation for future research using other innovation, creativity, and relationship variables. 3PLs now have new findings and recommendations on how to produce the disruptive innovations that are desperately needed to move the 3PL industry forward.
