The Shopping mall branch has estimated that the turnover of e-commerce will double within the upcoming ten years (NSCS, 2013). The growth can thus stop for Shopping malls and there is a risk that some Shopping malls end up being "dead-malls", completely losing their turnover.The thesis starts off with presenting the background for the factors of trade, i.e. e-commerce and Shopping malls.This is followed by a presentation of which integration possibilities there are in Sweden today and by examples from the British market. Thereafter follows a section on integration possibilities that Shopping malls can use in order to integrate e-commerce instead of regarding it as a threat. This can be done in several ways, e.g.

Shopping is one of the most important social activities today and the majority of all Shopping takes place in Shopping Centres. The number of Shopping Centres has increased and it is important to attract visitors by using the right marketing strategy. Christmas is an extra important period because the turnover normally increases three times in December compared to a ?normal? month. The purpose of this study is to analyze the marketing of Shopping Centres during the Christmas period, and analyze how this marketing contributes to the visitors? choice of Shopping Centre. This is a positivistic study that combines a quantitative and a qualitative method.This study concludes that range of stores and distance are the most important factors when a visitor decides which Shopping Centre to visit. During Christmas it is important to create a Christmas feeling, preferably made by offering decorations and music.

For example this study has shown that trade in Värmland has been given birth to new trades in the county..

På dagens marknad råder hård konkurrens om konsumenterna. För att företag ska lyckas med att vinna marknadsdelar och tillfredställa oss med rätta produkter och image, gäller det att gå på djupet och undersöka oss konsumenter och varför vi egentligen shoppar. Nivån av njutning och tillfredställelse vid Shopping skiljer sig åt mellan konsumenter. Den Shopping som inte är nödvändig för att vi ska kunna fungera i vardagen, som används för att öka livskvalité och njutning, kallas hedonic Shopping. Vid den hedonistiska aspekten av Shopping blir konsumenten motiverad av den emotionella och underhållande dimensionen associerat med inköpen. Den utilitariana shopparen, å andra sidan, handlar varor målmedvetet och effektivt och påverkas därmed inte av den underhållande delen på samma sätt (Babin, Darden & Griffin, 1994). För att kunna kategorisera och djupare förstå den hedonistiska aspekten av Shopping har sex kategorier utvecklats: adventure Shopping, social Shopping, gratification Shopping, idea Shopping, role Shopping och value Shopping.

The demand for Shopping centers has increased in recent time and more Shopping centers have been built. To become competitive Shopping centers has evolved to become more than just a place for Shopping. In the recent past Galleria Duvan in Karlstad has been run by foreign owners who has not been involved or renovated the Shopping center. During the spring of 2011 AlbérFastigheter bought Galleria Duvan and they are now renovating and negotiating new deals with the tenants. Our problem has led us to the following question: How can a centrally located Shopping center, such as Galleria Duvan, develop a strategy to strengthen their position on the market.

Companies need to receive feedback in order to understand how they should adjust to shifting demands in the market. This study focuses on the Mystery Shopping process and the information it provides.

This method is compared to other research methods in order to identify the characteristics of Mystery Shopping.

External Shopping malls in the context of urban sprawl have, according too much of the previous research, had a negative connotation when it comes to urban planning and a sustainable society. In recent years, some of this research on the issue has changed course towards that it might be some positive opportunities and elements in this development, given that it follows certain patterns. This latter development is what we have chosen to look deeper into in our study, Sustainable urban sprawl.The Shopping mall Allum in Partille center has been the subject of this case study, to explore how people's Shopping habits and travels in connection with these purchases has been affected by the establishment of an external Shopping mall from a sustainability perspective.The method we used was a questionnaire distributed at workplaces in Partille. The collected data were then analyzed by using some of the dominant urban planning theories, for thus underpin our analysis. We have supplemented the study with a collection of information on existing and planned Shopping centers in Gothenburg region.Our study shows that external Shopping centers located in already developed areas, with an existing social structure, can help to create a more compact city with fewer and shorter Shopping trips, and more sustainable transport choices when purchasing goods and services..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka fenomenet Shoppingturism. Skribenterna valde att utifrån sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer kartlägga de faktorer som bidrar till att resenärer åker på en Shoppingresa. Därutöver undersökte skribenterna även om Shoppingturism kan kopplas samman med upplevelseturism samt om respondenterna anser att Shoppingresandet kan ha någon påverkan på en destination. Metoden som skribenterna har använt sig av är en kvalitativ intervjustudie där intervjumanualen var halvstrukturerad. För att tolka de resultat som framkommit under samtliga intervjuer har skribenterna använt sig av tidigare forskning samt diverse teoretiska analysverktyg.

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the value of occupant load is over or under estimated when the Swedish general value for department stores, 0,5 person/m2, is used for dimensioning Shopping centers. The data that was analyzed derives from seven Shopping centers and one department store. A conservative method was used to calculate the occupant load factor. The analysis shows that two groups can be discerned: one group that is characterized by a lower occupant load factor that does not exceed 0,3 person/m2, and one group with a higher occupant load factor. Shopping centers with a higher occupant load factor are located centrally in large urban areas.

Tvångsmässig Shopping, compulsive buying, är en störning som innebär att individen har svårigheter att motstå Shoppingimpulser. I huvudsak är det kvinnor som uppvisar tvångsmässig Shopping och genomsnittsåldern är 30-31 år. Det finns dock forskningsresultat som tyder på att genus- och åldersskillnaderna minskar (Dittmar, 2005). Tvångsmässiga shoppare har också framträdande materialistiska värderingar och/eller svårigheter att reglera känslor visar separata studier. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka relationen mellan tvångsmässig Shopping, materialistiska värderingar och emotionsregleringsförmåga i en och samma studie.

Multichannel-Shopping has become a wide spread phenomenon in the retail industry due to a significant development of retail channels and formats. Consumers now shop for the same product category in many different retail settings and this trend is increasing. Therefore both the academic world and the retail industry are screaming for knowledge about the multichannel-shoppers. Several studies have focused on the characteristics of different channels and how multichannel strategies should be designed to minimize cannibalization. There is however a lack of research concerning what characterizes multichannel-shoppers and what drives them to shop in several channels.

Ett företags finansiella rapporter och interna system ska granskas oberoende av en revisor och granskningen ska utmynna i en revisionsberättelse. För företag är det värdefullt att erhålla en ren revisionsberättelse då en oren skapar bekymmer för företaget, i form av misstro mot det från utomstående intressenter.Ämnet opinion Shopping berör frågan om det är möjligt för företag att ?byta sig till? en önskvärd revisionsberättelse, och knyter samman dels företags incitament för att byta sig till en önskvärd revisionsberättelse samtidigt som det ifrågasätter revisorernas oberoende och revisionskvaliteten. Tidigare studier om opinion Shopping har visat att motivet till det finns, men de flesta studier har kommit fram till att försök till opinion Shopping misslyckas och efterföljande revisorer agerar oberoende.Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om det finns indikationer att opinion Shopping förekommer i Sverige. Ämnet har studerats främst i USA och på grund av skillnader mellan länderna är det intressant att undersöka den svenska revisionsmarknaden.

The thesis strives to reveal the dynamics between a central and a peripheral Shopping area in Kalmar, Sweden. The establishment of larger Shopping centers has become a hallmark of postindustrial cities. Cities globally are at risk of creating an urban economic rift between the central and peripheral Shopping areas. By establishing major Shopping venues around the traditional central business districts, cities hope to create a larger customer hinterland and thereby also increased economic growth. The aim of this thesis is answered by two research questions regarding collaboration and competition between two Shopping areas; the central Kvarnholmen and peripheral Hansa City Mall.
