Abstract:

As more consumers shop online, it becomes crucial for marketers to know how online shopping environments (OSEs) can be used to gain competitive advantage. This dissertation aims to explain theoretically how OSE attributes work together holistically to produce desirable consumer responses, applying and extending a theory from the environmental psychology literature to the online context. Firstly, the study conceptualises OSEs as virtual environments which may be perceived and experienced both cognitively and affectively through a technology-mediated interaction with a computer screen.

Abstract:

During the past decades, the establishment of external shopping centers have been increasing, causing debates on how they affect the viability and vitality of city centers. Instead of studying them as individual actors that are in competition with each other, it is interesting to examine them as components that together make cities complete trading destinations. The purpose of this thesis is to study the coexistence and collaboration between different retail agglomerations. Retail agglomeration attributes are implemented to distinguish existing strengths and weaknesses for each trading venue,

Abstract:

Sveriges generationsväxling på arbetsmarknaden kommer innebära nya rekryteringsbehov för samtliga arbetsplatser. Inom den offentliga sektorn lär det behövas rekrytera upp mot en halv miljon medarbetare fram till år 2020. I dagsläget råder det redan brist på medarbetare inom den offentliga sektorn och kan behöva anpassa sin employer branding strategi för att attrahera nya potentiella medarbetare. Nya potentiella medarbetare som ska inträda på arbetsmarknaden inom snar framtid är högskolestudenter. Eftersom den offentliga sektorn har begränsningar i att konkurrera genom högre löner, krävs det is

Abstract:

The predominating theories on non-product-related attributes stretch only so far to explain why some brands do not manage to succeed on foreign markets where the product needs are essentially similar to their domestic markets. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to cast new light on the theoretical field of non-product-related attributes, by unveiling which non-product- related attributes affect consumer brand preferences on similar markets. This is done by studying consumer expectations on cosmetics brands in general and brand attitudes towards a Finnish cosmetics brand, on the Swedish market
