We study a replenishment model that the retailer shares his leftovers on his\ndirect online sales channel and traditional retail channel. When one of the sales\nchannels is out of stock and another has leftovers, the latter shares its leftovers\nwith the former. Commonly, there is competition between two channels. Therefore,\nwe take the consumers� behavior including retailer inconvenience cost of\ntraditional retail channel, and risks and delivery lead time of direct online sales\nchannel into consideration. Then, we use the function of consumer utility to\nmeasure the Demand distribution function. Furthermore, the optimal replenishment\nmodels in independent decision-making and in lateral transshipment are\nestablished separately. Then the results of two models are compared by order\nquantity and retailer�s profit. What�s more, it is found that lateral transshipment\nbetween dual sales channel inventory can reduce the order quantity and increase\nthe retailer�s profit when the prices and demand distribution satisfy certain conditions.\nFinally, the numerical analysis of the model is carried out. The validity of\nthe research results is proved by examples....
The way of transact between buyer and seller has been changed due to the development of\nInternet and socio economic activities. The interest of touring a bodily shop has been\nchanged with the aid of on line purchasing and outlets can now effortlessly reach\ninternational markets from their local base, without the want for outlet space and\nwarehousing. This makes market price penetrated. The vendor performs an essential role in\nonline purchasing. This evaluation focuses on retailer�s characteristics, which influence\nonline purchasing. The assessment will lay the foundation to perceive the gap, as well as its\nscope for further research.\nThematic analytical approach was conducted to evaluate this study. The evaluation employs\nforty-three (n=43) leading and peer-reviewed conferences and indexed journals between\nyear 2010 and 2015. Ten (n=10) sub themes were identified from the investigated variables\nbased on their working definitions.\nModerating abilities of the product and price need to be explored, though they are critical\nfactors of online purchasing. In the context of online shopping need to explore different\nproduct category separately, since virtual products and real product doesn�t work together.\nFurther studies need to focus more on retailer� characteristics and their antecedents, which\nare not clear. Future research should explore a wider range of variables with a\ncomprehensive integrated model....
Companies need efficient knowledge management in order to be successful. This study\naddresses the question of what entrepreneurs need and how knowledge can be used for\nexporting companies. A further objective is to analyze how new exporters can be gained\nthrough knowledge transfer. The focus of the study is on entrepreneurs who already have some\nsuccess in foreign trade, as well as potential exporters and people who have to deal with\nexports in their profession.In order to analyze the requirements for knowledge management\nwith regard to foreign trade, exporters, non-exporters and institutions were investigated. An\nonline survey, a focus group and expert interviews were used as methods.Even in times of\nglobalization and digitization, people are at the centre of business processes. Successful\nbusiness relations require a reliable business partner. They are the ones that make export\npossible or help to expand it further. The most important knowledge management factors\nrelevant to exports can be summarized as follows: information deficits concerning conditions in\nthe target markets, company-specific matters (finance, risks of exporting) and the personalities\nof the entrepreneurs and their staff (intercultural and language skills)....
Supply chain integration has been widely identified as a key research topic by both practitioners and\nacademicians. In such environment, it is essential to vividly illustrate the publications contribution during the period\nof time and recognize research area and interests as well as the direction of research trend for future studies.\nWith the availability of bibliometric data and variety of analytical tools for evaluation purposes, disregarding\nbibliometric analysis would be a missed opportunity for this area. Therefore, the current research attempts to deliver\na comprehensive comparison thorough using rigorous bibliometric tools that provides a better understanding not\npreviously fully grasped or evaluated by prior studies in the area of supply chain integration. The objective of this\nresearch is to recognize the global scientific production; the most productive authors, journals, articles and countries\nas well as to extract the most influential articles. The analysis begins by identifying over 500 published studies during\nthe period of 1980 to 24th February 2016, which are then purified to works of proven influence and those authored\nby influential investigators. Web of Science Core Collection (formerly known as ISI), category of management was\nutilized to identify the relevant articles. Gaps are also discussed in knowledge about literature and bibliometrics\nanalysis. The findings provide wisdom and a vigorous roadmap for further investigation in this field....
Today any OEM automotive industry that wants a status of a world-class organization has to\nfollow a proper supplier quality management based on the worldwide recognized international\nstandards. With this, the customer within a supply chain should have the sureness that the\ncompany has supplier capabilities in place to provide a service that consistently meets its needs\nand expectations. Although some of this Supplier Quality Management Systems (SQMS) are\ndeeply integrated and used inside of an organization, sometimes they are implemented using\ninappropriate or limited tools, making the work of employees harder and acting often as\nentropy sources in those systems. Having the right tools to handle Inspections as well as\nNonconformance, Complaint, Corrective Action and Concession processes is key to successfully\ntrack the supplier performance. This paper presents a platform to support a SQMS, that fits the\ntechnical specification ISO/TS 16949 requirements....
