Abstract The business market in China is well known for its idiosyncratic practices. There is no shortage of anecdotes about foreign companies surprise discovery of non-conventional ambiguous procedures they needed to comply with after entering the lucrative Chinese market. The Chinese logistics industry stands testimony to that, confirmed by problems experienced by international logistics service providers (LSPs) in theif attempt to penetrate the Chinese market. Understandably, past studies on international LSPs' operations in China have concentrated on market barriers and related issues, arguing lack of physical support infrastructure, ambigious government regulations, regional protectionism, and fragmented distribution channels, among others, are the main impediments hindering international LSPs' business growth.
