連鎖便利商店由於其據點多、分佈廣、全天候營業的特質，使得便利商店在網路購物的物流末端得以扮演最後一哩（the last mile）的通路角色。這種高附加價值的取貨服務，突破了傳統店面僅限於店內商品銷售的經營模式，創造出門市額外的人潮流量，亦影響到未來便利商店整體店面需求。本研究探討幾個重要議題，包括網路購物取貨服務對便利商店經營的重要程度為何？在未來網購取貨服務環境下，便利商店是否有持續展店的需要？門市選址因素較過去文獻有否改變？對內部空間規模有何影響？位於不同市郊區位影響有何差異？以期瞭解網路購物對實體零售店面需求之影響。 本研究以臺北市325家7-Eleven門市為研究對象，實證結果發現網路購物取貨服務數量對營業額有顯著正向影響，且對市區門市營業額的影響較郊區明顯，長期將提升整體門市競租能力，隱含更有能力進駐條件更佳之區位與擴張佔有率。實證亦顯示位於市區商圈愈小的門市，其網購取貨數量愈多，意味網購取貨消費者對於門市區位可及性便利的要求較高，而未來新增門市的商圈範圍劃設，亦須一併考量當地一般便利品與網購商品的需求總量，以訂定需求門檻，為因應網購取貨龐大市場，7-Eleven應持續擴張門市。在選址因素方面，目前僅發現位於非三角窗門市較有網購取貨潛力，隱含未來網路購物對零售店面區位選擇之潛在影響，而位於郊區或商圈範圍較大的門市，則蘊含潛在的網購取貨需求。門市面積方面，短期可透過選址彈性範圍或內部倉儲與展示空間相互調整予以解決，長期而言，預期門市倉儲空間的需求將會有所增加。 國內外探討網路購物對於實體零售業經營與店面需求影響的相關文獻尚未成熟之際，本研究的貢獻在於從網路零售商與便利商店實體通路結合的面向切入，首度印證網路購物、來店取貨服務對於實體便利商店經營的重要性，並進一步探討其對門市商圈範圍、選址區位與面積的潛在影響，裨以提供未來便利商店業者在網購取貨服務環境下的展店策略建議。

<div> <p>E-commerce organizations, these days, need to keep striving for constant innovation. Customers have a massive impact on the performance of an organization, so industries need to have solid customer retention strategies. Various big data analytics methodologies are being used by organizations to improve overall online customer experience. While there are multiple techniques available, this research study utilized and tested a framework proposed by Laux et al. (2017), which combines Big Data and Six Sigma methodologies, to the e-commerce domain for identification of issues faced by the customer; this was done by analyzing online product reviews and ratings of customers to provide improvement strategies for enhancing customer experience. </p> <p>Analysis performed on the data showed that approximately 90% of the customer reviews had positive polarity. Among the factors which were identified to have affected the opinions of the customers, the Rating field had the most impact on the sentiments of the users and it was found to be statistically significant. Upon further analysis of reviews with lower rating, the results attained showed that the major issues faced by customers were related to the product itself; most issues were more specifically about the size/fit of the product, followed by the product quality, material used, how the product looked on the online portal versus how it looked in reality, and its price concerning the quality.</p> </div> <br>
