There are a few researches extracting cooperative relationship as a medium construct for boundary spanning activities, and try to analyze cause and affect framework among them. However, companies cooperative relationship with 3PL will change to boundary spanning activities, because of transaction cost factors , which cause companies selfish benefits and risks dispersedly behaviors, such as environmental uncertainty、frequency of contract noncompliance. In another word, companies change relationship with a specific 3PL owing to take account of reduces their transaction cost and effective production. This study directs organizational boundary spanning activity influence factors and the cooperative relationship as a medium construct for boundary spanning activities, analyze transaction cost factors which affect cooperative relationships and organizational boundary spanning activities and then discuss the structure relationship of these dimension. This study adopts the 1000 front of manufacture industry with 3PL in Taiwan. Base on construct for boundary spanning activities、cooperative relationship and boundary spanning activities implement level regard as think over main shaft. The model has 9 hypotheses, and 6 hypotheses are significant. The empirical shows the model can be accepted. The result shows the company notices the more uncertainty, the more cooperative relationship and boundary spanning activities. The more transaction frequency happened, the less cooperative relationship. If cooperative relationship between company and 3PL is strong, the less boundary spanning activities implement.
