Under denna studie så hade författarna ett uppdrag från en uppdragsgivare som var att skapa en ny agil projektmetod åt denna, för att främja deras arbete med ett projekt som de genomför årligen, som heter Jobb Shop. Projektet hade under det senaste genomförandet inte genomförts med hjälp av någon särskild projektmetod. Författarna till denna studie skapade under arbetets gång en specifik agil metod åt uppdragsgivaren som de kan använda under kommande år vid genomförandet av Jobb Shop. Vid sidan av detta så gjorde författarna även en metaanalys av den nya metoden där de studerade hur den nya agila arbetsmetoden, rent teoretiskt, kan främja kreativitet och innovation. Resultatet av studien visade att den teoretiska grunden för ovanstående fråga var god, och de drog slutsatsen att agila metoder, teoretiskt sett, mycket väl kan främja kreativitet och innovation..

Som väl det flesta känner till är datoranvändningen i Sverige och i övriga världen ett ständigt växande fenomen. Många ting som förut varit manuella ersätts av elektronsik data och kan nu användas och appliceras på ett väldigt effektivt vis. Elektronisk handel även kallat e-handel brukar beskrivas som skedet där man som konsument eller företag köper eller säljer varor via en internetbaseradbutik vilken är en utav otaliga grenar inom denna genre som haft stor genomslagskraft på nätet och är för det flesta ett väldigt smart, bekvämt och tidsbesparande köpalternativ. Denna rapport behandlar just e-handel och vad man som e-handlare bör tänka på vid design utav e-shopar. Eftersom man inte kan ge sina kunder samma support som i en traditionell markbutik finns det vissa aspekter att ta hänsyn till för att fånga sina kunders förtroende och intresse.

The survey Distanshandeln idag 2005, made by the Swedish postal service, tells us that web shops started to pop up in the 1990´s and began competing with the catalogue sells in the end of the decade. Ten years ago, it was said that the web shops would take over the distance trade market. Today we know that did not happen. Internet shopping accounted for 4, 2 % of all distance shopping in Sweden last year. Our inquiry is guided by the observation that the catalogue is still in use and moreover, it seems to have changed very little from when we were kids.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om vi kan validera en generell modell för kundupplevd servicekvalitet och teknologibaserad självservice genom att applicera den på portabel självscanning i dagligvarubutiken. I en vidare förlängning undersöker vi huruvida införandet av sådan teknologi i ett företag kan påverka den upplevda servicekvaliteten i företaget som helhet. Metod: Vi har använt oss av en kvantitativ metod där respondenter har fyllt i vår enkät som bygger på frågorna Dabholkar (1996) använde i sin attributbaserade modell. Teoretiska perspektiv: Vi har utgått från teorier inom service marketing med fokus på kundupplevd servicekvalitet. Empiri: Uppsatsens empiri består av den information vi erhållit vid enkätintervjuerna i dagligvarubutiken.

The retailing landscape has become even more competitive with an increasing number of store formats. One result of this can be seen within different retail-chains as they launch different formats that operate under the same name. Thus, consumers now have many alternatives and substitutes when it comes to choosing which format to shop from. This phenomenon has led consumes to shop across stores for the same brand. The objective of this study is to explain how consumers respond to various offers in different store formats and to determine whether the results differ if we compare a familiar brand with an unfamiliar brand.

Strategiska allianser eller förvärv är idag ett populärt sätt för företag att öka sina marknadsandelar och säkra den framtida utvecklingen för företagen.

Strategiska allianser och förvärv innebär även förändringar i företagets försörjningskedja. Detta är den problematik som ITAB Shop Concept står inför då de nyligen har förvärvat och inlett ett samarbete med två fabriker i Tjeckien, dit de skall flytta sin produktion av IKEA:s kassadiskar.
