Abstract. The authors analyse the Lithuanian postal service market which has become open for competition since 2013, after the Law Amending the Postal Law coming into force. The main objective of the article is to identify characteristics of the Lithuanian postal service market and to formulate market penetration proposals for new entrants. The main methods employed in the article are a comparative analysis of statistical data and a sociological survey. The article starts with the literature review on the topic, the identification of major postal service providers in Lithuania, and the analysis of their key performance indicators. This section is followed by a sociological survey and an analysis of customer comments found in the online Public Register of Legal Entities aimed at identifying the shortages of the Lithuanian postal service market and fomulating proposals how to improve the quality of postal services in Lithuania. Findings of the survey suggest that the concentration of efforts on service provision to legal entities, flexibility of service prices and service quality higher than that of competitors constitute the key factors for market penetration and gaining competitive advantages.Key words: postal service, market, the quality of postal and courier services, key factors for market penetration

Abstract:
Due to recent technological advancements, more diversified customer demand, and increasingly harder competition, traditional postal service systems have experienced significant changes all over the world. In Norway, through a strategic reform called post-in-shop, undertaken in 2013, most postal services are now provided at postal service counters located in retailer stores in order to improve accessibility, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This has led to a complex decision-making problem for the redesign of urban postal service networks across the country. In this paper, a two-stage method is proposed to solve a real-world urban postal service network redesign problem. First, two location models are employed to determine the optimal locations of postal service counters. In the second stage, a simulation model is built to evaluate the urban postal service system with different location and demand allocation plans under a realistic and stochastic environment. Among other insights, our results show that the proposed two-stage method can be used to effectively improve the accessibility of postal service networks by making optimal location-allocation decisions.

Abstract:
The existing postal infrastructure cannot efficiently support the requirements of new technologies and the supply of services on the open market of postal services. Post offices do not meet the new needs, therefore requiring an adjustment to new traffic and service requirements. The functioning of the postal system in the Republic of Croatia was carried out in order to adjust the functional equipment of the system to the introduction of the new technologies and services. At the same time a requirement was set to the public postal operator for more efficient performing of the universal postal service. Based on the analyses of the postal system functioning, a modular procedure of designing the postal network units was proposed and it provides the possibility of adjustment to the new technological, organizational and safety requirements of the postal system.

The primary function of a postal system is to create and to service a national postal area which, according to the Treaty of Bern, is integrated into the Universal Postal Union. The term refers to a total of postal addresses serviced by the national universal postal service. However, until recently, the concept of “address”, particularly “postal address”, has not been legitimized within Russian regulatory and legal framework despite its importance for all the sphere of activity, especially for relationship at law.

<p>The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of service quality and corporate image directly to the satisfaction of postal service users, to analyze the influence of service quality and corporate image directly to the loyalty of postal service users, to analyze the direct effect of satisfaction on postal service user loyalty, and to analyze the quality services and corporate image indirectly through the satisfaction of postal service user loyalty. The research was conducted at Regional Post Office X Sulawesi and Maluku with a population of 5,540 people and a sample of 277 respondents based on quota sampling method 5%. The data of the questionnaire was analyzed using Structural Equation Model using AMOS 18 assistance. The result of the research found that the service quality and the corporate image directly had a positive and significant effect on the satisfaction and loyalty of the postal service users in Regional X Sulawesi and Maluku. Indirectly the image of the company through satisfaction has a positive and insignificant effect on the loyalty of postal service users in Regional X Sulawesi and Maluku, it means that the satisfaction of the postal service users as the intermediate variable cannot be the mediating variable on the influence of corporate image in increasing the loyalty of the postal service users. The overall influence seen from the total effect of the greatest effect is the satisfaction on the loyalty of postal service users, meaning that the higher the customer satisfaction on the service received, the more growing the level of loyalty to use the postal service.</p>

Abstract:
Universal service providers have an obligation to provide a minimum required set of postal services – known as universal service obligation. To ensure universal service obligation, regulatory measures (criteria) which service providers must fulfil are often set up. In this paper, a geographical analysis of these criteria is conducted using current regulatory framework in the Republic of Croatia as an example. Based on the framework of the gravity model, accessibility of postal service is presented. The goal of the proposed research is to investigate the application of the gravity model for determining postal service accessibility, with special emphasis on rural areas. To our knowledge, this method has not been used in previous studies to determine accessibility of postal services. The results of the applied model could be used in future planning of access density criteria with various transportation modes.

Abstract:
This dissertation contributes to the literature and current discussions on the European postal markets and the universal service obligations (USO). It consists of three independent chapters.

In chapter one, we investigate the consumers' preferences for various kinds of postal services. As such, we begin by reviewing the market and regulatory conditions for Europe and for our case study, Belgium. Then using data provided by the incumbent provider, the Belgian post (Bpost), we estimate demand price elasticities. The data comprises customer transactional information on letter mail, direct mail, parcels & express services, press delivery and value added services for the 2008-2009 period. These categories constitute not only the important lines of services that Bpost offers to its clients but also the main segments that constitute the whole Belgian postal market. As such, and using standard methods, we estimate for each service an equation that explains demand by prices, product varieties (i.e. mixes or combinations of volume, weight, priority and destination, inter alia), income, regulation proxies and other socioeconomic variables. The estimated price elasticities for regulated and partially regulated services are around -1.1, whereas for unregulated segments they fluctuate between -2.1 and -2.8. The lowest price elasticity is obtained for direct mail services (-1.0); the highest ones are associated with value added services (-2.1) and registered mail (-3.3). Price elasticities may be influenced by the cyclical effects during the period of analysis. Therefore, elasticities are higher when compared with the empirical evidence obtained for other countries and through the various methodologies applied over the last decades. The fact that technological substitutes, such as expenditures on telephony and internet access for daily and administrative mail services and, radio and television advertising for direct mail services, could not be accounted for (because there were no data available) may however be considered as a major limitation for the scope of our results.

In the second chapter, we explore theoretically the effects of the USO on unregulated markets. In particular, we are interested in investigating its welfare effects when the provision of services cannot be technologically separated. We present a model in which there is an incumbent who provides two services: a universal service and a non-USO service, the latter opened to competition. This is the case of letter mail and direct (or bulk) mail, services which have quite different purposes and regulatory frameworks (i.e. the former is fully regulated whereas the latter is liberalized under the current European Internal Market framework), but are jointly produce at some stages of the postal value chain. The USO is simplified to two dimensions, affordability and quality, implemented as a price cap and a minimum quality standard (MQS) for the provision of letter mail services. The latter involves the technological aspects that we are interested in. We find that the definition of the USO plays an important role in organizing markets that are open to competition. When it imposes few quality requirements (low MQS), the incumbent is not cost efficient enough to provide the high-quality variant of bulk mail, allowing its competitors to cream-skim the segment. However, because there are cost economies, the firm's participation in the segment yields a higher average quality of mail services at lower prices. When the USO is too comprehensive (high MQS), the incumbent exhibits large cost economies that ensure a dominant position in the provision of bulk mail services. Consumers are worse off as competition induces too much service differentiation in order to make profitable the provision. Relaxing the definition of the USO mitigates the competitive advantage of the USP and so, yields improvements in welfare. In the absence of access costs, firms will find profitable to participate in the bulk mail segment. However, foreclosure happens if the USO induces the incumbent to exhibit significant fixed costs. Therefore, the USP may end up as the sole supplier of bulk mail services if the definition of the USO imposes too many quality requirements (high MQS). In that case, the authority must balance the welfare gains of defining USO with the welfare losses of the consumers of the contested service.

Finally, in the third chapter we consider the ownership aspect of the provision of universal services as an incentive to introduce competition. One can further segment the provision between services for customers located in high-cost areas and services for customers located in low-cost areas. Additionally, under the current EU legislation, the supply is divided between upstream activities (e.g. collection and sorting) and downstream activities (i.e. delivery). The provision of upstream activities in high-cost areas remains in hands of the incumbent firm or the owner of the downstream (delivery) network. The upstream provision in low-cost areas is open to competition, but a retailer may be vertically integrated/separated or legally unbundled with the downstream firm. Legal unbundling means, in our model, that the downstream firm and one upstream firm located in the low-cost area belong legally to the same entity entitled to all profits, whom does not have full control rights over the firms' decisions. That is to say, upstream activities and the downstream services will be managed separately under the same ownership. In this framework we analyze the firm's boundaries in terms of competition development and welfare. We implement two criteria to answer questions like, does vertical separation promotes competition (entry of firms) while covers a larger demand than vertical integration? Does vertical integration demand less public funds to cover demand? Does legal unbundling is worse than ownership separation to promote competition? The first criterion is the probability of entry (of the potential upstream firm), which we determine for each modes of ownership. The second criterion is the cost of public funds. It is implemented by defining a loss function as the difference between the expected consumer surplus when the downstream firm chooses an access fee that maximizes its profits and the consumer surplus when access is priced at marginal cost. The use of both criteria let us conclude that efficient entry occurs when the downstream firm is vertically separated or legally unbundled of the retailer providing services in the low-cost area. However, it is under legal unbundling that the access charge takes its lowest value. The highest cost of public transfers is obtained when firms are vertically separated, but the lowest one is attained when firms are legally unbundled. Therefore legal unbundling constitutes the preferred organizational form to induce competition and to reduce the cost of public funds.

Abstract:
The goal of this thesis is to be able to predict customer traffic at postal service points. The expectation is that when customers are made aware of queue times at the service points, they will redistribute themselves to avoid standing in line. This boils down to a form of time series prediction problem. When working with time series prediction, there are potentially other factors that may help the models make a more accurate prediction. Factors that may affect people’s behavior are unlimited, but this thesis examines the effect of the external calendar variables (weekday, date and public holiday) and weather variables (temperature, precipitation and sun, among others) when making the predictions. Non-linear models are examined, with the focus on Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models that have shown promising results in time series prediction, and these models are referred to as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Support Vector Regression (SVR), Autoregressive Moving Average (ARIMA) and statistical average models are used for comparison. The results show that using external variables as additional input to LSTM, MLP and SVR models increases the test prediction performance. Further, the MLP model generally performs better than the LSTM models. The results are acquired using six postal service points, and the final results are based on a six-fold cross validation across all six service points. The LSTM and MLP are able to better use the external variables and show greater adaptability during e.g. public holidays, compared with the SVR model. The ARIMA and historical average model show less accurate predictions compared with the aforementioned models.
Målet med detta examensarbete är att förutspå kundtrafik hos postserviceställen. Förhoppningen är att kunderna omfördelar sig själva om de får tillgång till kundtrafikprognoser för att undvika stå i kö. Detta resulterar i ett tidsserie-förutsägelseproblem. Vid sådana problem finns det potentiellt andra faktorer som kan påverka modellernas prediktioner positivt. Antalet faktorer som påverkar människors beteende är obegränsat, men detta examensarbete undersöker effekterna av att använda externa kalendervariabler (veckodag, datum och röd dag) och vädervariabler (temperatur, nederbörd och sol, bland annat). För att göra prediktionerna används främst de icke-linjära modellerna Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) och Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), som båda refereras till som Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Båda modellerna har visat lovande resultat i liknande problem. Utöver dem används även modellerna Support Vector Regression (SVR) och Autoregressive Moving Average (ARIMA) samt det historiska genomsnittet som jämförelse. Resultaten visar på att om LSTM-, MLPoch SVR-modellerna får externa variabler som tilläggsinput så förbättras modellernas förutsägelser. Vidare presterar MLP-modellen generellt bättre än LSTMmodellen. Resultaten är skapade genom att använda sex stycken postserviceställen och de slutgiltiga resultaten är baserade på en 6-vägs korsvalidering för samtliga serviceställen. LSTMoch MLP-modellerna är bättre på att använda informationen från de externa variablerna och visar på större anpassningsförmåga, under till exempel röda dagar, jämfört med SVR-modellen. ARIMA-modellen och den historiska genomsnittsmodellen skapar sämre prediktioner än de förutnämndamodellerna.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The political transition that has occurred in South Africa can be viewed as the country's first liberalisation process. In order to ensure sustainable political democracy, it must be accompanied by a second liberalisation, socio-economic development. The new government recognised that the second liberalisation entails an economic transformation process that will re-gear the economy towards attaining the objectives of economic growth and human development. The restructuring of state owned enterprises (SOEs) has emerged as one of the major trends in new economic thinking of the present government. A list was drawn of all the state owned enterprises that were to be restructured. The Post Office as a state owned entity was also in the list. The purpose of this study is to assess the South African Post Office Limited (SAPOL) as a typical state-owned enterprise in the context of the restructuring debate. It analyses and reviews the achievements and developments that took place in the Post Office since commercialisation in 1991 up to the stage where government decided to restructure the postal industry. It first starts with the issues that led to government's decision for restructuring, the options for the restructuring of the Post Office and the selection of acquiring a Strategic Management Partner as the most favourable option. More important, the study explains the approaches that postal services have taken to improve performance even when they have been faced with widely differing legal, institutional, and regulatory environments and bottlenecks. This study looks at the international trends and compare SAPOL with other postal administrations in particular those that have gone through a similar process of postal reform. This restructuring process of the Post Office is discussed in detail. The case studies of the two postal administrations namely, New Zealand and the UK, and the steps taken and lessons learnt by these countries in reforming their enterprises are explored. The purpose of this is to outline several different approaches available to the postal service to meet these and related challenges. Lastly, the study looks at the implications of the Strategic Management Partner (SMP) within the enterprise and whether to employ them was a strategic initiative for the government. It also attempts to solicit important information where aspects of postal reform seem to succeed and also identify the problem areas.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die politieke oorgang in Suid-Afrika was die land se eerste liberalisering. Ten einde die politieke demokrasie standhoudend te maak, moes "n tweede liberalisering - vir sosio-ekonomiese herstrukturering, geloods word. Die nuwe regering bedoel dat die tweede liberalisering die ekonomie moes transformeer sodat herkonstruksie en ontwikkeling kon plaasvind. Die herstrukturering van staatsbates het "n vername deel van die nuwe denke geword. "n Lys van sulke staatsbates is opgestel. Die Poskantoor is so "n staatsbate. Die doel van die studie is om die SA Poskantoor (SAPOS) se herstrukturering te beskryf en ontleed. Dit ontleed mikpunte en ontwikkelings wat in SAPOS sedert kommersialisering in 1991 plaasgevind het. Dit ontleed die besluit om verder te herstruktureer, verdere opsies wat oorweeg is en die aanwysing van "n Strategiese Bestuurs-vennoot (SBV). Dit kyk ook na die benaderings om posdienste te verbeter en wel teen die agtergrond van regsraamwerke, institusionele omgewings en regulatoriese vereistes. Die. studie ontleed ook internasionale tendense en vergelyk dit met SAPOS se omgewing, veral in lande wat vergelykbaar is. Die gekose gevallestudies wat ook SBV-vennote geword het, is Brittanje en New Zealand. Hulle het ook posdienste hervorm. Lesse kan geleer word. Laastens, word die implikasies van die SBV bekyk en word beoordeel tot watter mate dit aan die doelstellings van herstrukturering voldoen. Daar word na hervormingsprestasies sowel as knelpunte gekyk.

Abstract:
This study aims to provide an empirical investigation of Postal Services pricing in Turkey by way of computing Ramsey prices and examining the sensitivity of Ramsey prices to changes in demand and cost parameters. In this study, the Ramsey pricing problem is stated as maximizing a welfare function subject to the Post Office attaining a certain degree of profitability. The conditions necessary for the Post Office to be able to price efficiently have implications for Ramsey pricing. We estimate demand functions and cost structure of letters and express mail using data from Turkish Postal Services. The robustness of the Ramsey rule is assessed under alternative estimates of demand and similarly, in the absence of reliable data, under alternative intervals of marginal cost. Ramsey prices for two letter categories and welfare gains of moving from the existing pricing structure to Ramsey are determined and examined. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the existing policy is not Ramsey optimal and that this is a fairly robust result.

Abstract:
Growth in e-commerce significantly affects changes in the postal services market. Besides the opportunity for offering various types of electronic postal services, demand for online bought product delivery services is becoming increasingly important. Shopping in the e-commerce market, especially in the B2C segment of this market, necessarily implies the delivery of purchased products. Different user expectations regarding delivery services such as free or lower shipping price, faster delivery, or the possibility to choose a delivery method are gaining importance. It indicates that common inflexible delivery services do not meet customer expectations. Enabling the delivery method to be chosen by the consumer implies various delivery options being offered through the e-commerce „check out“ process which requires an appropriate integration of the IT (Information Technology) system of the postal operator and the e-retailer’s web store. This paper examines customer delivery service preferences and API functions as IT tools for offering various delivery options within the e-commerce „check out“ process, allowing customers to choose delivery options that meet their needs with the aim of better positioning of postal delivery service in the e-commerce market.

Abstract:
The beginnings of the postal service can be found with the Egyptians, Persians or Greeks, but nowhere did the service have such scope and such organization as it was with the ancient Romans. The conquering spirit and pragmatic character of this people was the impetus for the construction of a magnificient network of roads that was built for two basic reasons – the rapid movement of the Roman army and timely and precise communication, primarly for administrative and military needs. The paper will first point out the way of transmitting messages during the period of the republic and reexamine the possibility of the existence of a state postal service in this period, and then the reforms implemented by Augustus and their significance will be exposed.

Abstract:
The postal service is suffering an adaptation to the new markets opened by the users. The traditional post, letters and postcards, is being used less and is substituted by mail and packaging. To adequate to this new market it's important for the postal sector companies. In Spain, the operator of the Universal Postal Service has taken example from other companies of the sector, national and international, implanting electrical bicycle mail and packaging service in the centre of big cities. This is due to the fact that there are more the cities that are forbidding vehicle access to it's historical centres and the volume of packaging to deliver is greater. But, is it viable to deliver using hybrid and electrical vehicles in cities? This study intends to improve the distribution in cities with the implantation of these vehicles. It takes into account the characteristics of populations between 50.000 and 100.000 inhabitants, in which it will be analysed the advantages and inconvenience, doing special emphasis in the economic cost, conducting studies of the costs of implantation and amortization time.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.4085

Abstract:
The post office has already had to deal with crisis situations caused by „force majeure”. Today, it is a Covid-19 pandemic, and in the past, there have been large-scale floods, tsunami disasters, earthquakes and so on. It is in these critical situations that postal companies are very necessary for society. National postal operators are usually the only providers of the so-called universal service, without being able to refuse to provide any service falling within the scope of universal service. The aim of the paper is to analyse the recorded practices of selected postal operators and national regulatory authorities, which they adopted and implemented during the pandemic. The paper will use the method of excerpting and method of analysis (in obtaining and evaluating information about the current state of the problem) and methods of induction and deduction. The reader will get a picture of how postal companies have behaved in this critical situation. The added value of the paper is the definition of areas that need to be theoretically and practically professionally researched soon.

Abstract:
Failure to attend healthcare appointments impacts on patient health and health system costs. Sending patients appointment reminders using mobile phone text messages (Short Message Service (SMS) and Multimedia Message Service (MMS)) could improve attendance compared to no reminders, or other types of reminders, such as postal or phone call reminders. The broad penetration of mobile phones in several low-income countries makes this intervention particularly promising.

This paper focuses on public utilities (telecommunications, electricity, gas, water, transportation (roads, railways, buses, ports, airports), and postal service, which are sometimes referred to as economic infrastructures. The paper summarizes the desirable departures from the practices of developed countries that are called for the specificities in less developed essentially on the basis of normative economic theory. The paper provides a useful framework for those who have the difficult task of advising these countries in the implementation of more efficient ways to provide public services.

Harter, Rachel, Joseph McMichael, and S. Grace Deng. New Approach for Handling Drop Point Addresses in Mail/ Web Surveys. RTI Press, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.3768/rtipress.2022.op.0074.2209.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of drop unit substitution in address-based samples for mail and web surveys. A drop point is a single US Postal Service (USPS) delivery point or receptacle that services multiple businesses, families, or households (USPS, 2017). Residential drop units are the individual housing units served by the drop point address. For the most part, address-based sampling frames list the number of units at a drop point address but will not contain information identifying specific units. Drop units comprise less than 2 percent of all residential addresses in the United States (McMichael, 2017), but they tend to be concentrated in certain large cities. In Queens, New York, for example, drop units constitute 27 percent of residential housing units. The problem with drop units for address-based surveys with mail contacts is that, without names or unit identifiers, there is no way to control which unit receives the various mailings. This limitation leads to distorted selection probabilities, renders the use of cash incentives by mail impractical, and precludes traditional methods for mail nonresponse follow-up, thus resulting in higher nonresponse. Alternatively, excluding drop units results in coverage error, which can be considerable for some subnational estimates. The authors propose a substitution approach when a drop unit is sampled—in other words, replacing the unit with a similar nearby unit in a non–drop point building.
