Abstract

Due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, social distance restrictions, self-quarantines, and isolations all over the world made it impossible for brick-and-mortar stores to stay open. Merchants had to focus on the online ordering to boost sales and ease financial stress as they lost billions of dollars in sales and saw unemployment in the service sector rise. Because of these unusual circumstances, the online grocery ordering system, which lets businesses talk to their prospects and customers online, has become a necessity. Even though retail owners still face problems like losing a lot of money every year and being limited in how far away they can be from their customers, online ordering has protected their business. The App User Interface has an impact on Logistic Service Quality by enabling customers to select a delivery mode seamlessly. Product information, including price, distance, and delivery method, also affects the quality of logistic services. Furthermore, it is found that logistic service quality influences the perceived convenience of online shopping and that the perceived convenience of online shopping influences purchase intention.

Abstract

Supply chain management refers to managing a serial chain of businesses which typically consists of retailer, distributor, manufacturer and supplier. However, the businesses in each tier also interact with other channels in the supply chain. These interactions are called parallel interactions and they can directly affect the traditional, serial interactions of a single supply chain. Serial and parallel interactions in a supply chain increase levels of complexity and uncertainty. As a result, it is important to move analysis from dyadic to supply chain network perspective to understand the issues better. The main objective of this study is to investigate parallel interaction issues and how it affects supply chain performance. An empirical study has been conducted in the food industry in Indonesia with inter-related companies. A two stages semi-structured interviews, with top executives from sampled companies have been conducted. The result of analysis helps to clarify previous studies and provide a better understanding of parallel interaction as a genuine source of uncertainty at supply chain level. Three strategies were also identified to effectively manage the issues caused by parallel interaction
