This chapter is an overview of the process of Web analytics for Websites. It outlines how visitor information such as number of visitors and visit duration can be collected using log files and page tagging. This information is then combined to create meaningful key performance indicators that are tailored not only to the business goals of the company running the Website but also to the goals and content of the Website. Finally, this chapter presents several analytic tools and explains how to choose the right tool for the needs of the Website. The ultimate goal of this chapter is to provide methods for increasing revenue and customer satisfaction through careful analysis of visitor interaction with a Website.

AbstractMost successful organizations worldwide use key performance indicators as an important part of their corporate strategy in order to forecast, measure and plan their businesses. Performance metrics vary in their purpose, definition and content. Therefore, the way organizations select what they think are the optimal indicators for their businesses varies from company to company, sometimes even from department to department. This study aims to answer the question of what is the most suitable way to define and select key performance indicators. More than that, it identifies the right criteria to select key performance indicators at shop floor level. This paper contributes to prior research by analysing and comparing previously researched selection criteria and proposes an original six-criteria-model, which caters towards choosing the most adequate KPIs. Furthermore, the authors take the research a step further by further steps to closed research gaps within this field of study.

The article is devoted to the formation of key performance indicators (KPI) and customer satisfaction (CPI) for evaluating the implementation of strategies for the transformation of industrial complexes in the digital economy. The content of the KPI and CPI of the strategy for the transformation of the industrial complex as an integrated system of organizational, economic and sociological indicators is determined, allowing you to establish target quantitative values for the transformation and development of the most important elements, structures, processes and spheres of the enterprise, as well as to assess the degree of their achievement in operational and longterm periods. A methodology for the formation of KPI and CPI is proposed, a system and a scheme of mutual influence of these indicators are developed. The calculation procedure, data sources, and responsible performers for KPI and CPI are defined. Target values of KPI and CPI for industrial complexes from various regions of Russia have been developed. A general description of the mechanism for implementing KPI and CPI at enterprises is presented.

Dry ports have the potential to enhance the sustainability of transport systems, yet their introduction requires major changes to the current logistics chain. Further, emphasising sustainability goals and continued employee engagement can be a challenge when developing or implementing organisational change management programs in dry ports. Key considerations include governmental requirements and compliance, investor expectations, as well as employee engagement; these factors may be conflicting. The top-down management approach supported by strong leadership, participative approaches and constant communication assists in achieving successful change management. Sound selection of key performance indicators (KPIs) provides a set of metrics to track and aid the change process. They serve as a unifying link between top managements’ sustainability goals and employees’ engagement. The initial findings of our research confirm that both port and terminal operators have a gap in their understanding of the importance of sustainability goals and environmental goals. This will have a flow-on effect of port and terminal operators not driving the right messages to their staff in their organisational change management programs. Based on a critical literature review, it has been established what might qualify as good sustainability KPIs for dry ports. An example of a dry port at the Port of Somerton has been included. As every dry port has different requirements and constraints, it is important to develop KPIs together with stakeholders.

Context. Timely and correct analysis of the process of visiting Internet resources, which led to the overall conversion of e-business, is fundamental and relevant for successfully managing the website. Appropriate, accurate traffic analysis, which brings both successful and unsuccessful conversions, will identify the cause of the impact on conversion metrics and criteria and will measure the effectiveness of changes made to the site to increase traffic conversions. It is necessary to collect information on the activities of system users on the website and determine specific performance indicators of the website to improve e-business strategy further to solve these problems and achieve the relevant goals of e-commerce. Thus, it is necessary to develop and implement an analytical method of text content support for e-commerce Internet resources based on the analysis of key performance indicators of the website, paying particular attention to determining the set of relevant and relevant keywords used by regular users and led to an increase in e-business conversions. Objective of the study is to develop a technology for promoting Internet resources of e-commerce based on the results of Web-analytics of critical indicators of pages as KPI and KSI through forming a relevant set of keywords as feedback activity of a regular audience. Method. An analytical method for promoting Internet resources based on the analysis of key performance indicators of the website, which is based on three main algorithms аlgorithm for identifying problem areas of the site structure for further optimization, аlgorithm for optimizing search engine marketing activities (SEM), аlgorithm for site promotion and calculation of its efficiency. General recommendations for the design of information resources processing systems have been developed, different from the existing ones, by the presence of additional modules that significantly affect promoting the website on the Internet to further the success of ecommerce or improve the values of these indicators. Among them is the module of online shopping, marketing, module-copywriter and Web-master. For each of them, calculate their own KRI. It will allow you to effectively implement the processing of information resources at the level of system developers (reducing resources and time for development, improving the quality of information processing systems). Results. The paper develops and describes in detail, based on the results of Web-analytics, the parameters and criteria for assessing the level of success of e-business. Software tools for monitoring the textual content of Internet resources based on the analysis of key performance indicators of the website have also been developed. For a detailed analysis of the functioning and promotion of Internet ecommerce systems such as Internet newspaper and Internet magazine, 12 different methods have been developed and implemented, respectively, with support for each of them with a different number of stages of the content life cycle. A computer experiment of analysis of key performance indicators of the website was conducted. The service of keeping statistics of visits to the Web resource allows you to estimate the increase in sales of textual content in direct proportion to the rise in the number of visits to the Web resource, the number of regular users, the prospects of marketing activities. Conclusions. It was found that the presence of appropriate modules in the systems of information resources processing increases the sales of textual content to the regular user by 9%, active involvement of unique visitors, potential users and expanding the target and regional audience by 11%, viewed pages by 12%, resources by 7%.
