This chapter proposes to define the main concepts related to logistics sharing agreements and to present a conceptual schema representing the most important organisational aspects. First we will present the main concepts of logistics sharing, based on the main definitions of collaborative logistics. After a brief presentation of the main background issues, the most important organisational aspects of this type of approach will be presented. Then, the socio-economic and legislative aspects of collaborative logistics sharing will be described. To illustrate the presented concepts and schemas, we propose an analysis of several experimental cases from the literature, and a case study from the French press distribution sector.

Mots clés: collaboration; logistics sharing; information science; qualitative analysis; group decision making
