Abstract

Online car-hailing has successfully integrated the sharing economy into the transportation industry. However, with its rapid development, service issues remain a challenge, and continuously improving service quality is a key factor for the sustainable growth of online car-hailing and the sharing economy. In this study, we implement LSTM text classification, sentiment analysis and frequent itemset mining of the electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) of the online car-hailing platform, Didi Chuxing (DiDi), to identify existing service issues. Then, we depict the service process network of online car-hailing by using process chain network (PCN) to analyze and locate service issues. Finally, we analyze service optimization and innovation for online car-hailing by proposing corresponding service quality optimization suggestions based on the optimization principles of PCN. By constructing a service quality management research framework of online car-hailing in the sharing economy, we contribute to the literature on service science and the sharing economy and provide practical implications for sharing economy platforms to establish data-driven strategies of operation management.
