After the advent of the Supply Chain Management concept and the transversality of the approach, the research has often shown the superposition of the Supply Chain with the value chain of the company. In fact, the global Supply Chain contributes, through its different functions, to create the company’s value in its operating cycle.Logistics pooling, meanwhile, represents an emerging cooperative logistics strategy to streamline access to resources and maximize their profitability. This streamlining and maximizing can guarantee a real good economic performance for the company in particular and for the co-operators in general.In order to solve our main problem: How the choice of a pooling strategy could impact the economic performance of the company? We present in the current article the different arguments that legitimize the fact that, today, logistics pooling strategies impact the global value chain, using a survey of companies that have implemented such a strategy. This empirical research is a way to analyze the nature of Pooling-Value relationship and it provides the ability to identify the impact on the economic performance of collaborating companies.
