Många gånger missar vi det slutliga värdet i de kläder vi äger. Kan vi inte själva tänka oss att använda dem längre, slänger vi dem hellre än att ge bort dem menar Dr Dorothy Maxwell, ansvarig för den Brittiska regeringens spetsprojekt The Sustainable roadmap. En logisk följd av nykonsumtion är nyproduktion, vilket bidrar till ökade utsläpp. Klimatförändringar och andra miljöproblem utgör stora hot, som delvis kan mötas genom medvetna val från konsumenternas sida och en förändrad livsstil. Hållbar konsumtion innefattar, enligt Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (2010), tre aspekter: miljömässigt-, ekonomiskt- och socialt hållbar.

The structure of the Swedish public library field has been evolving during the last decades. The traditional mission of educating the citizens to become responsible, democratic and knowledgeable members of society has in a way led to the integration between public and school libraries. Lately new co-operational models have been under debate and a sense of resistance has arisen because of the economical and market influences. In parallel with closure of library branches new libraries have evolved in malls and wash houses and some with self-service with no use of librarians. This work shows how co-operation in rural areas finds the common goals for the people living there who are concerned about keeping the service needed including the public library and thus using existing means and crossing borders of commercial thinking.

Under många år har shopping betraktats som en kvinnlig aktivitet, men allt fler män har börjat visa intresse för mode. Då målgruppen vuxit har även detaljhandeln fått expandera, och det ses som viktigt att förstå konsumenter och hur de fattar beslut. Konsumentbeteende beskrivs som en process där konsumenter väljer och köper produkter för att tillgodose sina behov. På grund av den traditionella synen på shopping har manligt köpbeteende varit ett bortprioriterat forskningsområde. Den forskning som har bedrivits har främst fokuserat på unga manliga konsumenter utifrån kvantitativa metoder, varav mer djupgående studier saknas på äldre män och deras köpbeslutsprocess.

The use of digital devices are widely spread among us. Children have an iPad in their hands before they learn how to talk and we bet you look at your smartphone more times a day then you would like to admit? Interaction through these devices have become so natural in our daily life that we get confused when a retailer does not offer a website or an app. The habit of searching for information in the most accessible channel and buying in the one that offers the benefit of convenience, and of course, saves you money and time, is a common way of shopping these days. This is referred to as multi-channel shopping.

Uppsatsens syfte är att studera hur tre butikschefer och en centrumledare i gallerian Smedjan, Luleå, ser på upplevelsehandel och värdeskapande i butiker. Denna studie är kvalitativ med hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt och abduktiv ansats. För att kunna besvara forskningsfrågan, uppfylla syftet och förstå den empiriska forskningen använde jag mig av en rad olika källor. Jag har intervjuat tre butikschefer i köpcentret Smedjan i Luleå centrum samt centrumledaren för Smedjan.Denna studie har visat att förutom professionellt bemötande från butikspersonal så har det lilla extra, det som kunder upplever är värdeskapande, blivit något som butikschefer också uppmärksammat. Det kan vara kläder som exponeras på nytänkande sätt, en medarbetare som bemött en kund med empati, kunskap och förståelse eller ett överraskningsmoment i butiken som väcker förtjusning hos kunden.
