Call-Distribution-Based View: The Theoretical Ground for Strategic Routing Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
—This study disseminates the idea of managing the call routing problem in another perspective, which is named as the call-distribution-based view (CDBV). In this study, decision problems for telecommunications routing management are stratified into three classes; external, internal and strategic (perse) by synthesizing two very fundamental theories: systems theory and the theory of management hierarchy. It is identified that for the strategic decisions, the top management of an operator is usually concerned with a main routing decision problem: how to decide an appropriate call distribution portfolio, as to keep the service profitable and to maintain the quality of service. Such problem involves the key performance indices of a voice service operation. It arose with the end of the monopoly in the telecommunications sector, but it is seldom addressed. Accordingly, the CDBV view is proposed to conceptualize the problem and it is shown to have decision analysis functions by a call-distribution decision case. By demonstrating that CDBV underlies an existing linear programming (LP) approach that was designed to decide the call distribution ‘scenario’, it is also shown to lend theoretical grounds for future problem modeling purpose. Therefore, future generalized models for determining a real optimal call distribution ‘portfolio’ can be expected.

In this paper, it was an attempt to be present a practical perishability inventory model. The proposed model adds using spoilage of products and variable prices within a time period to a recently published location-inventory-routing model in order to make it more realistic. Aforementioned model by integration of strategic, tactical and operational level decisions produces better results for sup...

Researchers and urban administrators have often considered the routing problem as one of the fundamental phases in developing hazard management systems. In this research, a routing problem is investigated and analyzed by proposing an enhanced metaheuristic algorithm based on biogeography. In this problem, the production planning, inventory management, and distribution planning have been conside...

This commentary reviews a recent piece by Burton and Rycroft-Malone on the use of Resource Based View (RBV) in healthcare organizations. It first outlines the core content of their piece. It then discusses their attempts to extend RBV to the analysis of large scale quality improvement efforts in healthcare. Some critique is elaborated. The broader question of why RBV seems to be migrating into ...
