Resumo: The evolution and adoption of e-commerce have changed how businesses make decisions regarding warehouse location. As a consequence, shifts in customer behavior have impacted the supply chain, resulting in decision-makers reassessing the best criteria for selecting an optimal warehouse location that fulfills demand from the e-commerce platform. This research intends to understand the current state of criteria assessment for Portuguese SMEs in the e-commerce era. The literature of this paper includes E-commerce, Customer Behavior, E-commerce Supply Chain, Warehouse Location, Same Day Delivery, and Decision-Making Frameworks for Warehouse Location (TOPSIS, AHP, and ELECTRE). Additionally, after conducting semi-structured interviews with five Portuguese SMEs, this study uses Thematic Analysis to examine and find concepts with frequency in meaning which are used for the development of three themes. These themes are: Resorting to suppliers for storage and delivery of products, Prioritizing speed of delivery and proximity to customers, and Consideration for improvement in decision-making structure.

Mudanças no comportamento do cliente impactaram a cadeia de suprimentos, resultando em tomadores de decisão reavaliando os melhores critérios para selecionar um local de armazém ideal que atenda à demanda da plataforma de e-commerce. Este estudo pretende compreender o estado atual dos critérios de avaliação das SME portuguesas na era do comércio eletrónico. A literatura deste estudo inclui comércio eletrônico, comportamento do cliente, cadeia de suprimentos de comércio eletrônico, localização de armazéns, SDD e estruturas de tomada de decisão para localização de armazéns (TOPSIS, AHP e ELECTRE). Adicionalmente, após a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco SME portuguesas, este estudo utiliza a Análise Temática para examinar e encontrar conceitos com significado frequente que são usados para o desenvolvimento de três temas. Esses temas são: Recurso a fornecedores para armazenamento e entrega de produtos, Priorização de velocidade de entrega e proximidade com os clientes, e Consideração para melhoria na estrutura de tomada de decisão.2022-12-20T00:00:00Z2021-12-20T00:00:00Z2021-12-202021-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/24739TID:202855740engArias Romero, Juan Diegoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-07-07T03:42:14Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/24739Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-07-07T03:42:14Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
