Problem: Hur tillfredställda är bankkunder med sin banks tillgänglighet? Vilka kundsegment efterfrågar utökad service och hur lönsamma är de?Syfte: Genom vår studie av bankernas olika kundsegment och med dessas innehavande ekonomiska engagemang i banken, avser vi att belysa kundernas attityder och uppfattningar kring bankernas utökade tillgänglighet, och vad de efterfrågar i sitt möte med banken.Teori I vår teoretiska referensram behandlar vi främst fem olika teoriområden; försäljningsarbetets utveckling, positionering, banktjänster, service, relationsmarknadsföring samt gruppsegmentering.Metod: Vi har använt oss av en kvantitativ undersökningsmetod för vår studie. Vår undersökning omfattas av 103 svarande respondenter med en genomförd enkät.Resultat: Banktillgängligheten överlag är en mycket viktig servicefaktor. Studiens respondenter är nöjda med tillgängligheten, samtidigt som efterfrågan mot en utökad tillgänglighet är mycket låg. Vidare visar vår studie att de kunder som har ett stort ekonomiskt engagemang också är de kunder med högst lönsamhet.

Syftet med denna studie var att analysera förhållandet mellan tre inom detaljhandeln väsentliga områden; ledarskap, medarbetarskap och service.En allt större konkurrens på den svenska detaljhandelsmarknaden tillsammans med utökade krav från konsumenterna, innebär stora påtryckningar på branschens butiker. De som i första hand möter de förändrade kraven är butikernas medarbetare, vilka således utsätts för allt större press från flera håll. För samtidigt som konsumenterna ställer högre krav på servicen som medarbetarna förmedlar, växer företagens interna krav på att göra butikerna så konkurrenskraftiga som möjligt. Följderna blir då ofta en begränsad bemanning och färre arbetstimmar för butikerna, vilket skapar en paradoxal arbetssituation för butikernas medarbetare.Forskning på området för service och servicekvalitet framhåller ett stort värde hos personalen i frontlinjen. Medarbetare bör ses som en förutsättning för att kunna erbjuda en hög servicekvalitet, varpå forskningen betonar vikten av att göra medarbetarna delaktiga i utformningen och utvecklingen av butikens servicearbete.

Uppsatsen innehåller en studie av hur etiska regler, vilka framför allt återfinns inom advokatyrket, påverkar konkurrensen och de konflikter som uppstår mellan de svenska och europeiska konkurrensreglerna och dessa etiska regler. Mer specfikt identifieras vilka konkurrenshämmande effekter dessa regler medför, och vilka alternativ som finns för att kombinera etiska regler och konkurrensregler på ett sådant sätt att minsta möjliga skada uppstår för konsumenterna av advokattjänster. Resultatet av uppsatsen är att vissa etiska regler bör elimineras eller modifieras, eftersom de påverkar marknaden på ett negativt sätt utan att medföra motsvarande vinster annorstädes. The essay contains a studie on how ethical rules, here represented by the rules for the law profession, influence the competition.

Teorier inom relationsmarknadsföring har talat om hur företag kan vinna konkurrensfördelar genom att erbjuda kunden ett totalt serviceerbjudande, där kunden och dennes behov står i centrum. Teorierna beskriver vidare humankapital som den viktigaste resursen och talar i anslutning till detta om utbildning, befogenheter och god kommunikation med ledning.

The furniture retail industry in Sweden has gone trough large changes during the last decades. Today the industry is tough and in the maturity stage where few new companies enter, especially if they do not have a unique offer. The furniture companies have become larger and fewer, the changes have lead to difficulties for smaller and medium sized companies to grow and be profitable.Our purpose is to analyse, evaluate and compare three smaller companies in Stockholm with the intention to find what kind of marketing strategies they are using to survive on the Swedish market. First we interviewed the three companies to see what they do to survive on the market, then we asked 100 persons to fill in a questionnaire to see if they had the same opinion as the companies described.With help from theories we prepared questions which laid the foundation to the empirical part of the essay.The result from this study shows that the three companies differ from each other when it comes to using relationship marketing and placing the customer in the centre. All of them are aware of the importance of doing so, but because of different limits and possibilities they can not fully adjust everything to the customer.

Increasing innovation and entrepreneurship has been identified as a key target for sustained growth and welfare, both in Sweden and abroad. Therefore, many countries have recognized the need to equip students with entrepreneurship education and to integrate skills associated with entrepreneurship into the various curricula.To shed light on entrepreneurship education within business curricula, a case study focusing on the first two years of the Bachelor program at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) was conducted. The study was based on interviews with students, alumni and scholars with a background of entrepreneurship. Insights from respondents were compared with leading research on entrepreneurship education, to evaluate the program's approach.Primary findings from the qualitative analysis showed an overall lack of entrepreneurship education in the early stages of the program. Entrepreneurial "know-how" knowledge was an insufficient component of the SSE program and a barrier for why more students did not pursue a career in entrepreneurship.
