Hur vi upplever ett besök i en butik påverkas av en mängd olika faktorer. En av faktorerna är andra konsumenter som finns runt omkring oss i butiksmiljön. Att shoppa innebär inte enbart att man går och köper en produkt, att shoppa är lika mycket en upplevelse. Att shoppa kan fungera som avkoppling, ett nöje eller rent av ett sätt att fly vardagen för en stunds rekreation. Shopping är även ett sätt för konsumenter a tt uppleva sociala möten av olika slag.

Rubrik: Business or pleasure? En studie över framtidens köpcentrum.Problem: Vi vill teoretiskt skissera hur citygallerior kommer att se ut i framtiden, vilka trender som råder och därmed även beröra hur situationen för citygallerior är i nuläget. Men då detta problem är förhållandevis teoretiskt vill vi även kartlägga det mer empiriska problemet om hur kunderna vill att citygallerior ska se ut i framtiden och hur de upplever dagens citygallerior.Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen för hur framtiden för citygallerior ser ut genom att studera den forskning som råder inom området och studera de trender som råder. Syftet är även att undersöka hur kunderna vill att citygallerior ska se ut i framtiden genom en enkätundersökning.Teori: De teorier vi använt oss av handlar främst om köpcentrum och allt vad det innebär, framtiden, kundtillfredsställelse, shoppingvanor och olika shoppingsegment. Vi har använt oss av både svenska och utländska källor.Metod: Vår uppsats är skriven på uppdrag av ett fastighetsbolag och vi antar därmed ett företagsperspektiv.

The market for fashion and interior consists of a large amount of retail chains, which together creates high competition. To be able to compete and to be the most obvious choice for the customers, retailers must review their activities that exist in the company and improve them. This concerns store chains since it is so important that the stores communicate the retailers strategy and it is very critical because of the impact that the stores have on the communication with customers. It is after all in the stores that the buying decision is made. With this information, it is important to strive for uniformity through the chain and especially the stores.

Destination branding is becoming increasingly acknowledged by regions working with tourism. Underlying is the fragmented web of actors in the supply chain of which the tourism product consists of. The main purpose of our thesis was, from a management perspective, to gain an understanding and describing how a network and the actors within it can build a consistent brand. We therefore chose to make a case study research on The Kingdom of Chrystal, or Glasriket, which is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Sweden. Our research is based on theoretical and empirical data.

The conflict in the former Yugoslavia was characterised by extensive war crimes committed by all parties in the conflict. Two international courts, The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, have both judged if a genocide was committed in this conflict.

Two cases are analysed; the judgement of Radislav Krstic´ at the ICTY and the case Bosnia and Hercegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro at the ICJ.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate how value creation influences consumers´ choice of market place. We have chosen to focus on how inner city centers can compete with external shopping malls by examining what values consumers find essential in shopping areas. The development within the retail market with more external malls outside cities has resulted in impoverished city centers; therefore, new strategies towards more attractive servicescapes in the inner city are crucial. The study is based on a qualitative approach due to deeper understanding and closeness to the subject, where Kalmar city is chosen as a case. We have completed a focus group study where respondents from each target group where represented.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the connection between store layout and how it affects us as shoppers. We formed our research questions based on literature. The study was based on observations of shoppers without their knowing they were observed. We didn?t tell shoppers since the science of shopping says that shoppers pattern of movement is something that?s subconscious and if the shoppers had known it would have affected the result of the study.

Denna studie vill belysa hur konsumtion och identitet är sammankopplade och påverkar varandra åt båda håll. Identitet påverkar konsumtion och konsumtion påverkar identitet och det kan vara svårt att se vart det ena börjar och det andra slutar. Studien frågar sig hur konsumtionsmönster och känslor kring konsumtion beskrivs samt hur konsumtionsmönster kan förstås i relation till den fysiska identiteten?Enligt de teorier som finns runt konsumtion och identitetsskapande påverkar möjligheterna till konsumtion individens identitet och känslor vid konsumtion påverkar hur ofta individer konsumerar. Empirin i studien som har samlats in från sex kvinnor med olika åldrar genom semistrukturerade intervjuer illustrerar att ålder inte påverkar kvinnornas likheter och olikheter.

Today most studies regarding marketing are made on traditional marketing channels, answering questions like which jingle is best or which TV-channel a company should focus their marketing budget on. There is also the science regarding the best way of marketing on Social Networking sites or how to get as many 'likes' as possible, and so forth. However research has also been made in the field of in-store marketing and how a retailers or brand owners can affect customers in "the moment of truth". Until now most of these studies discuss how to get the attention of the customer in the store since both time as well as level of commitment in general is scarce when a customer is in a grocery store doing the necessary weekly- or complementary-shopping. It seems like most of them make the very same conclusion; catching the attention of a customer is vital to sell them your product.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has recently become increasingly important for companies to integrate into their ongoing work. CSR is about social, environmental- and financial responsibilities. The tourism industry often involves large impacts especially on environmental and social factors, which is why CSR-work plays an important role according to previous studies. One trend that has increased among consumers in the tourism industry during recent years is to travel to the lowest possible price. It has for example become increasingly common to book airfare by budget airlines.

This is a product development project which has developed a prototype in order to facilitate for people using mobility devices when they want to buy a larger quantity of groceries. The prototype is a shopping cart composed with the upper part of a walker.Today there are many different types of mobility devices used by elderly and people with physical impairment. According to Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) are accidental falls the most common cause of accidents in Sweden.This project has been using Computer Aided Design (CAD) as a tool to create a visual image of the prototype. The advantage of this is to modify the functionality and performance of the prototype on the computer before the modification takes place in the real model. Using human manikins, the CAD model was rendered in natural surroundings to get as true a picture as possible.
