The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the biggest disruptive events of recent decades and has had a global effect on society and the economy. The political regulations resulting from COVID-19 also led to significant changes in physical grocery shopping. However, the specific impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction at the customer end of retail supply chains, i.e., the point-of-sale (PoS), has not yet been addressed. By gathering and analyzing consumer satisfaction data (ratings) and sentiments (evaluation comments) available on the open web, the current study evaluates the impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction at the PoS. Focusing on the five biggest retail chains in Austria, the results show that there was a general and significant decline in consumer satisfaction due to the pandemic. The results also show a high impact of political regulations on consumer satisfaction. Furthermore, the text-mining based analysis of evaluation comments indicate that store layout and facilities, as well as product availability and waiting time had a great impact on consumer satisfaction. In total, over 533,000 consumer satisfaction ratings and over 153,000 textual comments have been analyzed, providing the basis for a comprehensive and sound discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction and perceptions. Future research could focus on applying the used data analysis technique and the adapted consumer sentiment dimensions in different settings, such as countries other than Austria or smaller retail chains.

A disclosure index with 32 items was used to test the annual reports of 13 Jordanian banks. Data analysis has revealed that the banks disclosed nearly 69% of the index’s items, and six banks disclosed more than 80% of the items. The results have proved that there was an acceptable level of disclosure of Jordanian banks listed on the ASE. The results of the regression analysis have confirmed that size, earnings, age and number of branches were significantly and positively affected the level of social responsibility information disclosure.

Fear of escalating input prices in response to retail success is a commonly-discussed phenomenon affecting supply chains. Such a ratchet effect arises when a retailer feels compelled to modify his investments to better serve the end customers in order to hide positive prospects and restrain future wholesale price hikes. In a two-period model of supply chain interactions, the authors demonstrate that such an endogenous ratchet effect can have multi-faceted reverberations. A retailer fearing price hikes may be tempted to curtail near-term profits to ensure favorable long-term pricing. In response, the supplier can use deep discounts in its initial wholesale prices to convince the retailer to focus on its short-run profits rather than long-run pricing concerns. These deep discounts not only encourage mutually beneficial investments but also alleviate double-marginalization inefficiencies along the supply chain. In light of these results, the authors demonstrate that the mandatory information disclosure policy to reduce the ratchet effect decreases total channel efficiency compared to the case without information disclosure, precisely because mandatory disclosure interrupts the healthy tension among supply chain partners. Thus, the model presents a scenario where ratcheting concerns can create a degree of self-enforcing cooperation that results in socially beneficial responses in supply chains.
