The U.S. fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, Inc. has prospered financially and scored multiple rankings at or near the top of its industry by using unconventional management practices, including some that appear to be drawbacks. This paper attempts what previous academic research has not: a thorough analysis of Chick-fil-A’s practices and policies, looking at how they might function as “success factors” and how the company has turned apparent disadvantages into advantages. The practices and policies include an unusual approach to franchising, a limited menu, private ownership, absence of global expansion, a distinctive focus on customer service and employee relations, and an explicitly Christian corporate culture. Chick-fil-A’s success, with a business model that does not fit the mold of other fast-food chains, makes the company a promising subject for further research by anyone wishing to study unconventional forms of differentiation for competitive advantage.

Dopasowanie polityki zwrotów do zmieniającej się sytuacji na rynku nabrało szczególnego znaczenia w trakcie trwania pandemii COVID-19. Dobrze rozbudowana i liberalna polityka zwrotów była dla konsumentów wyznacznikiem ogólnego poziomu obsługi oferowanego przez firmę i w dużym stopniu przyczyniła się do zwiększającej się lojalności klientów. Chociaż jest dostępnych wiele badań dotyczących handlu elektronicznego ogółem, stosunkowo niewiele wiadomo na temat skali zwrotów konsumenckich, szczególnie w odniesieniu do obecnych skutków pandemii COVID-19. Jednak takie dane są potrzebne z wielu powodów, na przykład w celu lepszego przygotowania polityki cenowej lub też przeliczenia opłacalności wybranego modelu biznesowego e-commerce. Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie zmian zachodzących w polityce zwrotów konsumenckich zarówno w handlu stacjonarnym, jak i online w trakcie trwania pandemii COVID-19. Analizie zostaną poddane regulaminy konsumenckie różnych sklepów detalicznych z branży modowej.

The development of ICT facilitates replacing of traditional buying-selling processes withe-commerce solutions. Waiving the direct buyer-seller communication creates risks for both the buyer and the seller. If several customers are served at the same time, processes can interference each other. The paper offers a method to identify purchase/sale risks: (1) in single-customer, (2) in simultaneous multi-customer service processes. First, a model of the buying-selling process is created and conditions for the correctness of process execution are formulated. Then an analysis of all possible scenarios is performed using a symbolic execution. The obtained result allows to identify risks of e-commerce solution.
Purpose: The aim of the paper was to measure the quality of customer service from the perspective of the personnel of the chosen service company using the Servqual method. The scope of the paper concerns the quality of customer service from the perspective of a group of employees hired by the company where the satisfaction research was conducted in part I of the paper. Design/methodology/approach: The Servqual method was used in the research and its renewed use was governed by the possibility of comparison of the research results while using the same tool. This allows, in the opinion of the authors, for a higher level of significance of references in comparative analysis. The unweighted (SQn) and weighted (SQw) servqual indicators were calculated for each of the examined dimensions. They were also interpreted. Findings: The basis of providing the service that is satisfying to the customer is to recognise the customer expectations and to skilfully transform them into aims and tasks of the service organisation. The effectiveness of realisation of these tasks will depend largely on the competence and motivation of all employees of the service organisation. It is impossible to talk about service quality without analysing the relationships between the service quality and the customer satisfaction. Research limitations/implications: Extending the research of the customer service quality beyond the perspective of a client by examining the personnel perspective does not exhaust the subject of the research. In the future, a deeper comparative analysis should be made along with monitoring of the changes. Practical implications: Presented approach finds practical application in the process of identification of the weaknesses of customer service quality and indicates factors of changes which can be used for improving the quality also in small enterprises. Originality/value The paper confirms the need to use the Servqual method in evaluation of both perspectives, where each of these two assessments may shape the quality of the service understood as general impression of the client which results from comparison of both positive and negative impressions that concern the service company and the service provided.

This study is a part research on the effect of information and communication technologies (ICT) adoption on sustainable development in the enterprises' context [1]--[3]. Its main purpose is to identify parameters stimulating the progress of ICT adoption and sustainable development and assess the two constructs based on these parameters. The identified parameters of ICT adoption are grouped into four categories i.e., ICT outlay, information culture, ICT management, and ICT quality, whereas the parameters of sustainable development are classified into ecological, economic, socio-cultural, and political sustainability categories. This study employs a quantitative approach and descriptive statistics are employed to evaluate the levels of ICT adoption and sustainable development. The survey questionnaire was used and data collected from 394 enterprises were analyzed. The research findings reveal that digital and socio-cultural competences of employees and managers, financial capabilities ensuring ICT projects as well as law regulations associated with ICT adoption, and information security were at the highest level within enterprises. However, the lowest level was specific for BI and ERP system adoption as well as the adoption of latest management concepts and the exploitation of synergies between national ICT projects and own ones. Moreover, the improvement of efficiency and effectiveness of customer services, better and more efficient organization of work, the enhancement of customer satisfaction and loyalty as well as the increase of new customers and markets as a result of ICT adoption were at the highest level within enterprises. However, the lowest level was specific for enterprises' participation in the democratic public decision-making as well as energy savings and environmental protection. This study advances ongoing research on ICT adoption and sustainable development by exploring parameters which can be used to describe and assess the levels of ICT adoption and sustainable development in the context of enterprises. Moreover, these parameters help clarify areas that need further improvement and stimulate the progress of ICT adoption and sustainable development.
Artykuł obejmuje problematykę związaną z procesem realizacji zamówień klientów. Jego podstawę stanowią źródła literaturowe oraz badania dotyczące organizacji tych procesów w przemyśle samochodowym. Z badań w firmach samochodowych wynika, że głównymi czynnikami kształtującymi zakup samochodów są: czas, termin i niezawodność oraz elastyczność dostaw, itp. Wskazuje się także, że poziom obsługi logistycznej jest podstawowym czynnikiem wpływającym na zakup. Odnosi się to w dużej mierze również do zakupu samochodów. Niski poziom obsługi prowadzi bowiem do rezygnacji z usług świadczonych przez daną firmę.
