Abstract: The main objective of this work is to investigate the logistic func­tion in an organizational context and analyze the influence of logistical per­formance as a relevant factor for the orientation of these companies to the market and in the development of competitiveness standards with an im­pact on organizational performance. This relationship is investigated in the specific situation of the Portuguese industry, and for this purpose data was collected from a group of family businesses. The investigation model, derived from the formulated hypotheses, was tested using the analysis of structural equations using the partial least squares technique.
