Customer
satisfaction is the key to the survival and profitability of all businesses. In
the ever-changing business world, this concept has gained more importance. In
particular, in industries where new firms based on new business models emerge,
the traditional firms find it more difficult to compete with the new business
models in terms of customer happiness. Sharing economy, which is defined as
“renting non-frequently used resources (e.g. houses, cars, various commodities)
in return of a certain price via digital platforms”, is one of these new
concepts that have inspired new business models. A sharing economy-based
company, Uber, has gained popularity in a short time. In this study, customer
satisfaction levels of Uber and classical taxi firms are compared and the
performance of each firm in various service dimensions is measured. Data is
collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the fuzzy set theory models.
According to the results, Uber performs much higher in all service dimensions
with respect to the classical taxi firms. By evaluating the results from a
managerial perspective, recommendations are developed for Uber and similar
sharing economy-based firms, and the classical firms who want to compete with
these new business models

Bulanık Küme Teorisinin Müşteri Memnuniyeti Karşılaştırmasında Kullanılması

Müşteri
memnuniyeti tüm işletmelerin hayatta kalması ve kâr edebilmesi için elzemdir.
Sürekli değişen iş dünyasında bu konsept daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Özellikle
yeni iş modellerine dayanan firmaların ortaya çıktığı sektörlerde klasik
şirketler müşteri mutluluğu açısından yeni şirketlerle rekabet etmekte zorlanmaktadırlar. Az kullanılan kaynakların (ör: ev,
araba, çeşitli eşyalar vs.) dijital platformlar yardımıyla belli ücretlerle
kiralanması olarak tanımlanabilecek olan paylaşım ekonomisi, bu şekilde yeni iş
modellerie ilham veren konseptlerdendir. Paylaşım ekonomisi tabanlı firmalardan
biri olan Über, kısa zamanda popülerlik kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Über ve
klasik taksi firmaları müşteri memnuniyeti açısından karşılaştırılarak iki tip
firmanın çeşitli hizmet boyutlarında nasıl performans gösterdiği ölçülmektedir.
Veri toplama anket yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiş olup veri analizinde ise
bulanık küme teorisi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Über bütün
hizmet boyutlarında klasik taksi firmalarına göre çok daha yüksek müşteri
memnuniyetine sahiptir. Sonuçlar değerlendirilerek Über ve benzeri paylaşım
ekonomisi tabanlı firmalara ve onlarla rekabet edebilmek isteyen klasik iş
modellerine sahip firmalara çeşitli yönetimsel önerilerde bulunulmuştur
