A STEP TOWARD DEFINING A CUSTOMER‐CENTRIC TAXONOMY FOR MANAGING LOGISTICS PERSONNEL
通过聚类和方差分析，将一线物流经理分为三类，比较其内部客户导向、绩效指标等差异，发现各组在多数方面表现良好但存在重要区别。
To retain competitive viability, some progressive warehouses and distribution centers are expanding services and adopting a customer orientation. Through cluster and ANOVA analyses, three distinct classifications of frontline logistics managers are disclosed and compared with respect to their perceived levels of internal customer orientation toward their subordinates, common performance indicators, and other demographic and organizational‐type variables. Important differences exist among the groups; however, logistics managers in all three clusters score relatively well in most areas explored.
