Impact of various fairness-based distribution models on supply chain networks from the perspective of customer satisfaction

AbstractThis study investigates the effectiveness of two fairness-based distribution approaches—type I and type II—in enhancing the resilience of supply chain networks (SCNs) during disruptions. The research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on supply chain management by offering insights into how fairness principles can be applied to improve the restoration of disrupted networks. A mixed-integer programming model was developed to simulate these fairness-based distribution strategies, focusing on a water supply chain network of a privet company in Saudi Arabia. The SCN consists of a single supplier and ten demand nodes, each requiring multiple commodities. The model was tested under 100 random disruption scenarios, each reducing the capacity of randomly selected network segments. The performance of each fairness-based distribution approach was evaluated based on how quickly and effectively the SCN returned to its required service levels (SLs) across all demand nodes. Results indicate that Fairness Distribution Type I, which aims to minimize unmet demand across the entire network, generally outperformed Type II in terms of speed and efficiency. Type I was more effective at restoring SLs quickly at most nodes, while Type II showed localized advantages, particularly in restoring SLs for specific commodities at select nodes. The study concludes that while Type I is more suited for overall supply chain recovery, Type II may be beneficial in scenarios requiring focused recovery at specific demand nodes. These findings provide actionable insights for supply chain managers seeking to enhance network resilience through fairness-based distribution strategies, and suggest avenues for future research on hybrid and context-specific approaches.

Vehicle routing problem for fresh products distribution considering customer satisfaction through adaptive large neighborhood search

To deal with the fresh products distribution problem in city logistics, this paper focuses on the customer psychological behavior considering both delivery time and the fresh products quality from the perspective of customer satisfaction. Thereby, we propose a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model, among which a time satisfaction function depending on customers’ time windows and a quality satisfaction function considering the freshness of the products are introduced as constraints. Then, an improved Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search algorithm is designed with a new strategy to jump out of the local optimal solutions and with new operators considering satisfaction functions. Numerical experiments on benchmark instances of standard Solomon instances demonstrate the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed method. The calculation results showed that the proposed algorithm is superior to previous approaches by obtaining better feasible solutions with less calculation time. Furthermore, managemental insights are provided for enterprises on making wise investments while ensuring customer experience through optimizing distribution strategies.

The effects of adverse drug reactions on patients’ satisfaction: Evidence from publicly available data on Tamiflu (oseltamivir)

BackgroundDespite the fact that user-generated data are widely used in medical informatics in general and for revealing side-effects of various pharmaceuticals in particular, recent studies have focused merely on methods of extracting information on side effects from unstructured or semi-structured reviews of specific medications without linking side effects to any outcomes. ObjectivesIn this study we demonstrate how user-generated online content on side effects experienced by patients while taking a pharmaceutical product can be used to do research after the drug has been introduced to the market, thus allowing to complement the results of official clinical studies and market research. In particular, we concentrate on revealing the contribution of various side effects to reported customer satisfaction with Tamiflu, a popular antiviral drug. MethodsPublicly available data from an online platform with reviews from patients are used as an input to the analysis that applies statistical and machine learning methods (multivariate logit models and classification trees) to investigate the relationships of side effects to demographic characteristics and to the overall satisfaction with the medication. ResultsWe prioritized side effects of Tamiflu based on the significance of their association with patient’s ratings published at one of the well-known drug discussion forums. Among all types of side effects used in our study, the neuropsychiatric symptoms and body pain are the most influential, followed by skin problems. Specific combinations of side-effects that are associated with low satisfaction were detected. ConclusionThe proposed analytical approach can help pharmaceutical companies to improve their products and/or medical guidelines associated with their products and figure out fighting which adverse effects should be given a priority from the customer satisfaction perspective.

Corporate social responsibility, customer satisfaction, and financial performance: The moderating effect of the institutional environment in two transition economies

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a long-established topic in firms' operating process, yet few studies have examined CSR from the perspective of customer satisfaction and institutional environments. We fill the gap in the existing literature by exploring the roles of customer satisfaction and institutional environments as they pertain to the link between CSR efforts and financial performance, specifically in the context of transitional economies. In this work, we use a sample of 238 firms located in China and Vietnam. Our empirical results present several interesting findings: (a) the relationship between CSR efforts and financial performance is fully mediated by customer satisfaction; (b) good institutional environments positively strengthen the impact of CSR efforts on firms' customer satisfaction; and (c) there are significant differences in the moderating effect of institutional environments between the two countries that were sampled in this research. In the Chinese sample, the institutional environment positively moderated the relationship between CSR and customer satisfaction; while in the Vietnamese sample, the institutional environment positively moderated the relationship between CSR efforts and the return on sales (ROS). Based on these findings, we provide several recommendations for managers to effectively conduct CSR practices.

Do sales and service compete? The impact of multiple psychological climates on frontline employee performance

This research examines how employees’ climate perceptions – or psychological climate – influence their performance of climate-related outcomes. We focus on two specific climates arguably most relevant to boundary-spanning organizations: service and sales climates. Building from the resource-allocation framework, the authors examine the way employees reconcile these multiple psychological climates. Polynomial regression and response surface modeling are used to test for the influence of these distinct climates on employee outcomes using a sample of 252 marketing employees and their 68 immediate supervisors. Specifically, the authors examine relationships between service and sales climates and the employee performance outcomes of customer satisfaction, helping behavior, effort, and sales performance. Results provide insight into the benefits and pitfalls of sales and service climates co-existing. Specifically we find that while sales effort is highest in climates that heavily favor sales, sales performance may exist in both sales-favored and service-favored climates (yet not in the presence of both). From a customer satisfaction perspective we find no significant impact of increasing sales climate in the presence of high service perceptions. These findings – both significant and non-significant – provide implications for future research in the realm of service-sales ambidexterity and interface as well as insight and direction for frontline managers.

Do buyers express their true assessment? Antecedents and consequences of customer praise feedback behaviour on Taobao

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically test a research model that incorporated antecedents of praise feedback behaviour (fear of confrontation and incentive for reducing nuisance costs), praise feedback behaviour (deliberatively praise feedback, casual praise feedback, and true compliment feedback) and consequences (trust and repurchase intention). Design/methodology/approach A structural equation model was employed to test the relationships of the research model using survey data collected from 398 Taobao consumers. Findings The results showed that fear of confrontation and incentive for reducing nuisance costs had a significant positive influence on deliberatively praise feedback and true compliment feedback, respectively, and both antecedents had a significant positive influence on casual praise feedback of consumers. It also showed that trust was influenced negatively by deliberatively praise feedback, and positively by casual praise feedback and true compliment feedback. Meanwhile, deliberatively praise feedback and true compliment feedback were found to have negative and positive influences on repurchase intention, respectively. Originality/value This research was a pilot study to identify a three-dimension conceptualization of praise feedback behaviour from the perspective of customer satisfaction, and to understand positive review bias from the perspective of input processes.
