Abstract

With the rapid development of economic globalization, cross-border e-commerce enterprises face challenges brought by factors such as the diversity of the global market and the complexity of global supply chain distribution when expanding into overseas markets. These factors directly affect the judgment and selection of customer perceived value by cross-border e-commerce enterprises, which in turn influences the accurate positioning of products and services in overseas markets. Taking the “small-batch quick replenishment” business model of SHEIN as an example, this paper uses soft system methodology (SSM) to conduct an in-depth analysis of the methods for identifying and selecting customer perceived value. Based on SHEIN’s successful experience, this paper proposes three optimization suggestions for identifying and selecting customer value: learning customer perceived value by system methodology, leveraging digital technology to empower supply chain, and emphasizing customer participation to achieve co-created value.
