“…Research over the past decades has shown that demand function modelling is very useful for understanding customer demand in commodity economies [54][55][56][57][58]. Te demand function model can also be used as a way to establish the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution for proft maximization of diferent products and can be efective in representing some of the properties of the optimal solution to fnd the optimal ordering strategy for the problem under consideration to achieve the best possible equilibrium between uncertain supply and demand.…”

The influence of consumer psychological effects on customer needs has become a normal state of product sales models in the consumer goods supply chain field. The literature lacks systematic research on the mechanism through which consumer psychological effects affect customer needs. On the basis of analyzing and sorting out the literature and viewpoints, this paper establishes a mathematical model to investigate how manufacturers design and plan product supply strategies based on nonessential demand patterns under three different sales models. Finally, by solving the mathematical model, the optimal production volume, the optimal commodity price, and the maximum profit that can be obtained by the manufacturer are obtained, and the correctness of the model is verified via numerical calculation. The study results explain the relationships among commodity costs, demand, and commodity pricing, which are significant for the study of consumer psychology and can further provide a beneficial reference for manufacturers in various industries.

“…Customer demand is complex, and different people, backgrounds, economic strengths, social experiences, and cultures produce different customer needs. Research over the last few decades has shown that demand function modelling can be of great help in understanding customer demand in a commodity economy [33][34][35][36][37]. The demand function can be used as a way to…”

The core objective of a successful product supply strategy is to determine the mechanism through which consumers’ psychological effects influence customer demand. As stated in the theory of supply and demand, a higher level of dynamic equilibrium should be formed in which demand drives supply and supply creates demand. There is a lack of systematic research in the literature on the identification of consumer goods demand attributes and the formation of influencing factors in consumer goods supply chains. In this paper, we use the literature on demand functions and product pricing functions to establish three mathematical models to study the factors that influence retailers in designing and planning product supply strategies for different customers under nonessential demand patterns and to solve the profit maximization problem. The results of numerical examples validate the validity of the model. The research results can help retailers develop different supply strategies according to different types of customers and different demand patterns, thereby improving business performance. The theoretical contribution of this study is the construction of value ranges and a demand function diagram for identifying consumer product demand attributes.

Literature indicates a greater use of process management in large companies than in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs are a major contributor to the global economy, and just like large companies, SMEs face challenges such as a need to respond promptly and effectively to their business environment, despite having limited resources.Practitioners and researchers within process management refer to a trade-off between the operative support that process management provides and the strategic ability of organisations to be flexible in response to their environment and customer requests. The strategic role of process management has not been highlighted in depth in the literature. Hence, the use of process management and its strategic role in SMEs is a research gap which needs to be investigated. This research should include approaches to process management that support the fulfilment of strategic goals without compromising flexibility.The purpose of this dissertation is to enhance the understanding of the strategic role of process management in SMEs. To address this purpose, two research questions were designed. The first research question explores how the fundamentals of process management contribute to the understanding of the strategic role of process management. The second research question explores and analyses the conditions of SMEs and suggests how process management could be adapted to be used in SMEs.This dissertation includes a longitudinal study, with an action research approach, conducted at two companies. This approach provided a deep understanding of the companies and a strong connection between research and managerial usefulness.
