“…While airlines are change pioneer, airports also are following an essential transformation from a typical state authority of '90s accommodate air traffic to a private oriented company using the benefits of high passenger's and activities concentration in their territory, shifting airports not just as transportation hubs but also as large commercial centers and technological innovation units. While commercialization and privatization of airports are a continuing tendency around the word, supported by long-term investments and international cooperation's, these long-term life cycle arrangements boost outsourcing arrangements at airports towards operational efficiency, corporate performance, and socioeconomic effects in local economy, [1,2].…”

Outsourcing is wide used practice from large companies in the supply chain sector, especially, in transport industries, where world-wide the market deregulation is a continuing tendency towards cost control, service quality and emission mitigation. Many specialists and dedicated suppliers are already emerging with offers to take over parts of the transportation chain, while the booming of start-up companies promote a variety of data-driven applications towards operation efficiency, emission mitigation and revenues generation. Working capital and procurement cost could be more variable and transportation services are more on-demand response than ever in the past and by taken the benefits the digitalization era the shape of transportation business is changing fast, where non-transport revenues leverage by use of data are key driver of the transport companies’ business strategy. The balance between insourcing and outsourcing activities are a key challenge for transport sector and this chapter highlights innovation and success factors for the transport industry taking into consideration the digital era wave and best practices, providing recommendations and guidelines to managers, planners and decision makers.

Air traffic is a very important traffic branch, since it provides the possibility of fast travelling long distances between countries and contributes to the development of economy, trade and tourism. The number of long-distance travels has been increasing, people have started to travel more and therein, the importance of air traffic has been growing. The Republic of Croatia has to take advantage of its favourable geographical position at the crossroads of West and East Europe, which facilitates the development of air traffic. Airports have major significance for the development of air traffic, and it is of great importance that they provide high quality services, i.e. that their users are satisfied. With the aim of establishing the level of user satisfaction with transportation and the supporting services in Croatian airports, an empirical research via an online survey has been conducted, where the respondents were asked about how often they used the airports in the Republic of Croatia, their supporting services, the importance of the factors influencing the decision-making on buying the ticket for the specific airline and overall satisfaction with the services in Croatian airports. The results of the primary research suggest that the users, when deciding on buying the ticket, put the price and safety first. The users are not entirely satisfied with the price-quality ratio and are not content with the prices of the parking in airports and with the airport facilities that provide hospitality services. Furthermore, it has been established that user satisfaction with transportation and the supporting services can be perceived through three factors: 1) additional services; 2) user satisfaction with additional services; 3) satisfaction with the staff and prices of additional services. The paper also analysed user satisfaction with transportation and the supporting services considering socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The key limitation of the research paper is the impossibility of conducting the research on site, at Croatian airports, where the users have “contact with the service”, especially the supporting services. It is highly plausible that conducting research at the airports would contribute to more representative research findings and recommendations for the management.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a performance assessment modeling for managing transport enterprises and provide a framework that explains the conditions under which performance of enterprises optimized. In doing so, the multiples streams built upon the different stakeholders and shareholders as well as social actors play in the transport enterprise performance optimization. The novelty of this paper is the development of a computational modeling framework addressing the added value footprint by large transport operators providing mobility and accessibility to a regional economy. The analysis outputs promoting explanations towards operational efficiency and business productivity on one hand; and supporting decisions toward sustainable development, business intelligence and new investments on the other. The assessment methodology is based on "Fuzzy TOPSIS" modelling, where a series of key performance indicators have been introduced, providing results over time to assess business innovation and illustrate drivers of action towards sustainable development and business intelligence. Managerial implication of the paper is the development of a multi-objective assessment framework providing essential support for managing real business applications in transportation and support decisions towards resources optimization, adjustments in cooperate governance model and policies, assessment of new investments and short-term or/and long-term action plans.
