The study examines the influence of different carbon policies and the incorporation of green technologies in a two-echelon supply chain, with a focus on carbon emissions generated during transportation, production, and storage phases. The study evaluates three strategies for controlling carbon emissions: setting a maximum limit on total emissions, implementing carbon-taxation, and adopting a cap-and-trade framework. The proposed model assists businesses determine the optimal production and delivery volumes, as well as calculate the most effective investment in green technologies to reduce costs in the context of different carbon emission regulations. Furthermore, this study offers practical guidance for policymakers, highlighting the importance of balancing environmental sustainability with economic growth. Results indicate that companies are more inclined to pursue advanced green technology solutions under a carbon tax policy. The analysis highlights that carbon emissions per unit of production and transportation distance significantly impact overall emissions. The imposed emission cap has a stronger influence than the emission reduction potential of green technologies. The study recommends that governments establish realistic emission limits in cap-and-trade schemes to prevent excessive trading of emission allowances by suppliers.

This study investigated the effect of logistics and policy service quality on customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty within the quick commerce landscape in Jordan, with a particular focus on generational differences between generation Y (Gen Y) and generation Z (Gen Z) users. A survey of 719 active Q-commerce users revealed that logistics service quality (personal contact quality, shipment condition, product availability, timely product delivery, and order accuracy) significantly affected customer satisfaction, with order accuracy being the most impactful factor. Additionally, both cash on delivery and order discrepancy handling significantly affected customer trust. Finally, customer satisfaction and trust affected customer loyalty, though in multigroup analysis, their relative importance varies between generations. Gen Z prioritizes speed of delivery and less concern on personal contact with delivery personnel. On the other hand, Gen Y values product availability and cash on delivery more than the younger generation. These findings offer valuable insights for Q-commerce platforms to tailor their strategies to the distinct priorities of each generation and enhance customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty.

This study investigated the relationship between information technology, logistics service quality, and perceived performances. Data collected from an online survey through questionnaires was sent to 470 customers who have been using logistics services in Vietnam and 458 valid responses were received. This study discovered that innovation capability has a positive impact on personal contact quality, order fulfillment, information quality and social responsibility. Personal contact quality, order fulfillment, information quality and social responsibility positively affect the customer satisfaction, while customer satisfaction positively affects perceived performances. This study provides insights into the importance of customer satisfaction and perceived performances of customers in the logistics industry and highlights the need for logistics companies to prioritize customer satisfaction and improve their overall performance as well as their competitiveness.

The aim of this study is to determine the role of logistics service quality (LSQ) in its functional and operational dimensions on marketing flexibility in diary factories working in Duhok governorate/Kurdistan region. The research problem arises through the research question which states: Do logistics service quality dimensions contribute in achieving marketing flexibility? The primary data used in this study was attained from a structured questionnaire distributed to managers in examined factories. 34 valid questionnaires have been collected and analyzed. The findings of the research show that there was a significant correlation and effect between logistics service quality in its functional and operational dimensions on marketing flexibility. The research presented a set of recommendations, the most important of which are: focusing and attention to all dimensions of the (LSQ) in the researched factories, especially the functional dimension of its greater contribution in achieving marketing flexibility.

Significant changes have occurred in the business world, with one of the most notable being the transformation of technology into digitalization. An example of this digitalization in the logistics sector is the implementation of electronic delivery orders (E-DO), aimed at enhancing convenience and efficiency in logistics activities. The objective of this research was to analyze the extent of influence that electronic delivery orders, logistics digitalization, and logistics service quality exerted on import document activities at Semarang port. Additionally, this study aimed to examine the role of logistics service quality as a mediating variable in the relationship between E-DO and logistics digitalization concerning import document activities. The research employed quantitative research methods, with a sample of 173 individuals selected through random sampling techniques, primarily comprising employees working in the logistics operations division and the export and import documentation division of shipping companies located in Semarang port. Data were collected through a questionnaire utilizing a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7. Subsequently, the data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4 software to determine the relationships between variables. The findings of this research revealed that Electronic Delivery Orders (E-DO) had a significant influence on the quality of logistics services, although E-DO did not significantly impact import document activities. Furthermore, logistics digitalization was found to significantly enhance the quality of logistics services but did not exert a noteworthy influence on import document activities. The quality of logistics services was identified as having a significant effect on import document activities. Additionally, logistics service quality was recognized as a mediating factor in the relationship between electronic delivery orders and logistics digitalization concerning import document activities, with a substantial influence.

The research aimed to know the impact of electronic delivery orders and logistics digitalization on the import document activities mediated by logistics service quality in the national shipping lines, especially the members of Regional Container Lines. Several logistics companies in Indonesia have now begun to utilize digital technology supported by the national logistics ecosystem platform to advance logistics activities, to assist logistics processes in all sectors, including the industrial sector. Shipping, especially by sea shipping. One of the research problems, among others, is that the TSJ/T3 terminal still uses manual delivery orders. The research used the path analysis method and Sobel test with a random sample of 102 PT Bhum Mulia Prima customers. The result of the study showed that electronic delivery orders and logistics digitalization partially contribute to the import document activities through logistics service quality. Furthermore, logistics service quality as the intervening variable strengthened the contribution of an electronic delivery order to the import document activities. Testing is also needed by comparing digital systems between the shipping companies that still do not use manual documents and those that have used online processes in import activities.
