The Case for Doing Less: Rethinking Communication With Consumers During Logistics Service Failures

open access: yesJournal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Existing research highlights that proactive communication of logistics service failures can positively affect consumer attitudes and behaviors. However, we explore how strategic restraint (i.e., doing less) during service failures can serve as a powerful design principle for improving performance, highlighting the need to reconsider when and ...
