The Supermarkets are taking more and more market shares for potted plants the last years, and a greater part is bought without prior planning. Signals from several European countries, for example Denmark and UK, indicate that potted plants with added value have become more and more popular and the added value is based on present trends. The meaning of added value in this thesis is fancy pots, packaging, pins or arrangements. Potted plants with added value sold in Supermarkets offer the consumer the advantage of getting a ?ready product? quick and easy.

Technology based self-service (TBSS) used in supermarket self-scanning checkouts is a relatively new phenomenon in Sweden. Studies on TBSS as a self- checkout device have been formerly carried out but with focus on the customer perspective. The authors therefore saw a challenge in covering the self-scan checkout concept, from a company perspective. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate, through a management perspective, the changes brought about by implementing an innovative TBSS system in Swedish Supermarkets, and its effect on the competitiveness of the company. This is done by presenting and linking the theoretical framework and empirical study in the research.

The out-of-town retail establishments are part of the dramatic structural changes in the retailing of food and groceries. There are however strong indications suggesting these establishments result in negative externalities concerning areas such as pollution and urban environment. The purpose of this study is to describe and, from an economic perspective, analyse the Swedish political regulations and planning policies concerning the out-of-town Supermarkets. The analysis establishes that the current regulations regarding out-of-town retailing do not, due to the occurrence of market failures, produce an optimal situation. It might therefore be necessary to change the planning policies in a more restrictive direction.

I den konkurrensutsatta tillverkningsindustrin är det viktigt att ha effektiva processer för att kunna hålla nere kostnader och samtidigt hålla en hög kvalitet för att kunna erbjuda attraktiva produkter till konkurrenskraftiga priser. Lean Production är en produktionsfilosofi vars fokus är att eliminera alla former av slöseri som inte skapar värde för kunden. Ursprunget till Lean Production kan härledas till fordonsindustrin och det japanska Toyota Production System. Systemets tanke byggde på en effektiv produktion för att kunna möta konkurrensen från större amerikanska konkurrenter som kunde dra nytta av storskalsfördelar i sin massproduktion. Ett av inslagen i Toyota Production Systems var att lagra material i nära anslutning till produktionen i så kallade Supermarkets.

ABSTRACT Skånskt Naturbeteskött is a group of approximately 30 beefproducers in the south of Sweden, who sell their products on the local market. They are certified with Svenskt Sigill, an organisation that works with animal welfare, environmental responsibility, safe food, open landscape and independent qualitycontrol. These producers have to fulfil certain demands regarding pasture and quality of the meat. For this essay I did a market investigation in which I wanted to find out what qualities the Swedish market and the consumers want in their beef. The purpose was to find out what Skånskt Naturbeteskött could do differently to satisfy the market for locally produced beef in the south of Sweden. In the investigation I turned to those responsible for the beef in 12 Supermarkets, 4 selling Skånskt Naturbeteskött today, 4 that sold it before but quit, and 4 that never have sold it but might be interested in the future.

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka vad effekten kan bli av den detaljhandelsreform som ägt rum i Indien, november 2012. Reformen innebär att företag med flera varumärken får etablera sig med en maximal ägarandel på 51 %. Öppningen önskas ge en ökning av utländska direktinvesteringar. Det senaste decenniet har liknande öppningar ägt rum och organiserat om marknader till mer moderna med stora Supermarkets. Östra Asien, Central- och Östeuropa samt Latinamerika är alla exempel på detta.

This study treats the possibility of breeding mallards and pheasants on our own farm, Björnslund. From the beginning I considered to breed them from eggs to adults but after visiting several breeders I changed my mind. It seemed to be a lot of work with no economic profit in comparison with buying already hatched birds and then feed them to adults. If the business shall be profitable I have to be soll the hunting for the birds and then sell the dead birds to game purchasers. There are also calculations that show which price you have to charge for the hunting that will give a positive result. Another possibility is to own a slaughterhouse and sell the meat to restaurants and Supermarkets.

The behaviour of consumers has changed rapidly during the last decade, and a healthy lifestyle and an environmental mindset has become part of everyday life. This is also something that has become prominent in the Supermarkets, where the organic products are increasingly winning shelf space. Several consumer behaviour studies have shown that the attitudes towards organic products and labels are predominantly positive. According to traditional marketing theory, these kind of attitudes should affect consumers? purchase intentions in a positive manner, as well as the actual purchase behavior.
