ABSTRACT

Online shopping in EU has been shown to a good potential market. The electronic equipment takes a high percent of the individuals shopping. Compared with other goods, online shopping of electronic goods adds great convenience to the life of the people. Buying electronic gadgets online gives customers an opportunity to find a great variety of product online, and customers can review a wide selection of products and find special offers and discount with the best deals online. In the coming years, the development of online retailers is improving and promises a bright future. However, the tangible and intangible problems of electronic product online shopping still exist and the online store retailers lack the customer knowledge in some extent. Therefore, our intention is to explore customer behavior when purchasing electronic products through investigating the factors that can affect online shoppers‟ attitudes, intention and actual buying behavior. Furthermore, through the findings of our research, we offered the online retailers some suggestions to improve their sales and attract more customers.

Our research was conducted at Umeå University, the participants are students who come from four different departments. We categorized the important influencing factors into customer-oriented and technology-oriented factors. We utilized quantitative method in the term of questionnaire to exam how the respondents think about these factors, and we figured out the relationship between the factors and the consumers‟ attitudes and online buying intention for electronic product.

Our final findings show that only the experienced shoppers‟ attitudes highly affect their buying intention. Transaction security and product quality as the most important elements of electronic product online shopping in the customer-oriented factors are voted by the respondents; while in the technology- oriented factors, easy to navigate and useful web content are the most important issues which drawn more customers‟ attention. In addition, we suggested that the online retailers should guarantee a safe and accurate transaction process, moreover, make more efforts to web design and enhance the return and refund after-sales service. Our study is expected to contribute the e-commerce, especially focused on the electronic product field, the further research can take our research as a basic and go deeper to investigate.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Business Administratiom, Marketing Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011
The dynamic nature of modern organisations, characterised by hyper turbulence, necessitates that organisations remain receptive to the plethora of internal and external forces driving changes in strategy. One such organisation is that of Engen Petroleum Limited which operates in an everchanging, highly competitive environment. In order to remain the market leader, Engen needs to revisit its strategy to contend with market forces, bearing in mind that globalisation, as well as international ownership of competitor companies, play a role. In order to maintain a competitive advantage, the role of brands in the context of convenience is important, as brand recognition makes decision-making simpler for consumers who are in a rush. It is hence deemed expedient for forecourt retailers to understand customer satisfaction drivers, such as quality, service and convenience (Molefi, 2007). The current research focuses on the Engen Western Cape Quick Shop network, and in particular, investigates the possible reasons, namely growth rates, product offering, location, and customer service, for performance compared to the national average. A questionnaire/survey was conducted to determine the demographic characteristics of customers as well as the factors that influence their propensity to utilise Engen Quick Shops. This research was intended to provide Engen Petroleum Limited with data and information to enable the Western Cape Convenience dealer network to not only grow at the national average, but also to position itself at the forefront of the Convenience Store market.

Abstract:
It is important for business managers to understand customers’ buying behaviours, as customers are the cornerstone of the business’ marketing strategy and the main providers of businesses’ profits. Previous research have identified numerous factors that influence customers’ buying behaviour, factors such as prices, promotions, brand image, brand reputation, customer experience and socio-cultural aspects. Despite the attention given to variables influencing buying behaviour, there was still a gap to be filled in this field of study in the clothing retail industry, especially in the South African clothing retail industry. Thus, the primary objective of this study was to investigate how the understanding of customers’ brand perceptions, customer experience and social considerations can be used by clothing retailers to initiate a purchase. A literature overview was conducted on the global retail industry, the global clothing retail, as well as on the South African retail and, more specifically, the South African clothing retail. In addition, a literature overview on variables influencing buying behaviour was provided, with a special accent on the selected variables for this study, namely brand perceptions, customer experience and social considerations. From the literature overview conducted on variables, seven independent variables were selected to be investigated with the dependent variable, buying behaviour. The independent variables, namely brand perceptions (as measured by brand quality, brand reputation and brand image), customer experience (as measured by store physical environment and staff service), and lastly social considerations (as measured by reference groups and culture/subculture) and the dependent variable (buying behaviour) were then presented in a hypothesised model. An empirical investigation was undertaken to establish the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The measuring instrument used for the investigation was a self-administered questionnaire using seven-point Likert type of scale. The items were constructed based on previous research instruments found in secondary literature sources. The non-probability convenience sampling was implemented in this study to identify respondents. 207 usable questionnaires were collected and were examined through statistical analyses. The validity and the reliability of the measuring instruments were confirmed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the calculation of Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Descriptive statistics were undertaken to summarise respondents’ demographic information, while Pearson’s Product Moment Correlations were calculated to determine the correlations among variables. Furthermore, the relationships between the variables were assessed through multiple regression analysis, while a t-test and ANOVA tests were conducted to determine the influence of demographic variables on independent variables that showed significant positive relationships with the dependent variable. In addition, post-hoc Scheffe tests were undertaken to elaborate on the significant differences resulting from the t-test and ANOVA tests. Significant positive relationships were found between Brand Image/Reputation and Buying Behaviour, between Store Physical Environment and Buying Behaviour and between Cultural Clothing and Buying Behaviour. The empirical results also showed that there was a significant relationship between Age and Cultural Clothing. In the same way, there was a significant relationship between Population Group and the variables Brand Image/Reputation and Cultural Clothing. This study has contributed to the body of literature on buying behaviour, especially in the field of clothing retail, by extending the factors to consider when aiming at improving buying behaviour. In addition, the development of the hypothesised model significantly contributed towards having a better understanding of customers’ perceptions of the selected variables, and ultimately how these variables could trigger their purchase decisions. As a result, this study enumerated some recommendations and suggestions that should enable retailers to create a positive image and reputation in customers’ minds, assist retailers in arranging the stores in a more attractive way for customers and reach more culture-conscious customers.

Abstract:
Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som kunden anser påverkar och avgör valet av researrangör samt jämföra detta med researrangörernas egen syn. En avgränsning har gjorts till två researrangörer, Ving och Fritidsresor samt till privatturism. Studiens disposition består av ett inledande kapitel i form av introduktion där bakgrund, syfte och frågeställningar presenteras följt av en avgränsning. Vidare presenteras studiens teoretiska grund som följs av det metodologiska tillvägagångssättet. Det fjärde kapitlet består av den insamlade empirin och uppsatsen avslutas med analys och slutsatser som baseras på de ovannämnda kapitlen. Studien undersöks utifrån fyra teorier vilka belyser konsumentbeteende, köpprocess, kundtillfredsställelse och eventuella gap mellan kundernas samt företagens uppfattning. Dessa teorier ligger till grund för studiens diskussion och slutsats. Det teoretiska materialet baseras på vetenskapliga artiklar och litteratur inom ämnet. En metodtriangulering har tillämpats i studien där kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod i form av enkätundersökningar och intervjuer utgör grunden för det material som presenteras i empirin. Då studien analyserar och jämför researrangörernas syn med kundens syn har en komparativ design tillämpats. Resultaten från undersökningen presenterar både likheter och skillnader mellan kundernas respektive företagens syn på faktorer som påverkar valet av researrangör. Likheterna har resulterat i synen på hemsidans betydelse, direktflyg samt marknadsföring i form av omdömen från nära och kära. Skillnaderna som kunde urskiljas var främst synen på sociala medier. Undersökningen visar att kunderna anser att service/tillgänglighet/kontakt är den mest centrala och avgörande faktorn när beslut av en researrangör görs.

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to knowledge of customers’ buying behaviour toward premium dog food by examining their brand associations and how these are shaped by using Bozita Robur as a case study.

Background: Market for dog food has increased heavily during the last decades what made knowledge of underlying driving forces of dog food consumption crucial for dog food producers. Quite peculiar is a phenomenon of purchasing behaviour towards a product purchased but not consumed turning it into a more complex and dynamic object of study. Lack of coherent and conclusive research that offer an understanding of primary behavioural drivers and preferences of Swedish dog food customers makes it a good opportunity to continue investigating the dog food industry.

Method: The study is conducted in the form of a single case study. A survey instrument is used to collect data on awareness and to identify behavioural beliefs and subjective norms of consumers, followed by phone interviews that uncover their attitudes towards dog food brands. Lantmännen Doggy’s brand Bozita Robur is used for this purpose. Data collected is further analyzed with the application of consumer behaviour related theories.

Findings: The study has found that Swedish customers have built a positive image associated with premium dog food brands, where superior quality is the primary association. On the brand schema level, each of the premium dog food brands investigated holds specific associations in consumer minds, whereas the strength of these associations depends much on brand recognition levels. Bozita Robur, though less familiar among respondents, was found to have a positive brand schema and is associated with Swedishness and high quality.

Customers of premium dog food brand actively search for information when making a purchasing decision towards a dog feed brand. In a product, they do value high nutrition content. Dog owners are influenced by various social groups, among which breeders and specialty store staff have the strongest influence when it comes to purchasing advice of the dog food brands.

Abstract:

This study has been conducted in cooperation with Fläkt Woods, an industrial supplier of ventilation systems. The study only concerned chilled beams which are an explicit group of ventilation products within Fläkt Woods’ product portfolio. The purpose of the study was to explore how Fläkt Woods’ customers perceive certain elements when choosing Fläkt Woods as a supplier of chilled beams and why they perceive them the way they do. The elements include quality, service, technical performance, technical knowledge, communication, time of delivery, installation, calculation program, flexibility, market adjustment, technical documentation, relationships and geographic distance. The study has been conducted employing a combination of both a quantitative and a qualitative approach in which a questionnaire has been sent out to Fläkt Woods’ customers in order to shed light on their opinions.

The results showed that most of Fläkt Woods’ customers are satisfied or even very satisfied with the elements that were investigated. The elements that the customers were most satisfied with concerning the chilled beams were quality, service and technical knowledge. They believe that Fläkt Woods’ products have a good finish, that they are easy to get in touch with, that they are able and willing to give quick answers and feedback and that they have great knowledge about their chilled beams. The element that the customers are least satisfied with and that Fläkt Woods need to improve is flexibility. Even if Fläkt Woods believe that their special solutions are flexible, their customers do not fully agree. The customers’ attitude towards the flexibility is that Fläkt Woods prefer to provide standard solutions of chilled beams rather than offering special solutions. The results also showed that Fläkt Woods’ competitors are one step ahead considering the design of chilled beams. Thus, design is an element of the marketing program that Fläkt Woods need to improve. Furthermore, the study showed that relationships and communication which represent the “soft” elements concerning human interaction are just as important as the rest of the elements. Thus, Fläkt Woods need to consider these elements as well as the others when outlining the marketing program.

Abstract:

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga kundernas köpbeteenden i en inredningsbutik, Divas Boning och att diskutera hur dessa kan påverkas och bidra till ökad konsumtionsnivå hos kunderna.

 

Metod: Vi har valt att använda oss av både en kvalitativ metod i form av en intervju samt en kvantitativ metod i form av en enkät. Dessa presenteras var och en för sig i empirikapitlet. Analyser har sedan gjorts också uppdelat i kvantitativ- och kvalitativ data.

 

Resultat & slutsats: Vår studie visar att det är av stor vikt att Divas Boning tydligt positionera sig och arbetar med sina kundrelationer. Vår studie visar även att valet av sortiment i hög grad påverkar hur butiken uppfattas och att det är viktigt att som mindre inredningsbutik inte bara se liknande butiker som konkurrenter utan även större kedjor. 

 

Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Som fortsatt forskning skulle vi finna det intressant och lärorikt att studera branschen ur ett vidare perspektiv och göra en grundlig konkurrensanalys av Divas Bonings alla konkurrenter. I denna studie kan vi endast beröra köpbeteendet hos Divas Bonings kunder. Det skulle även vara intressant att studera skillnader mellan handel i fysisk miljö och på Internet.

 

Uppsatsens bidrag: Förutom kunskapen att arbeta med teoretiska modeller har vår studie framförallt bidragit med kunskap om Divas Bonings nuvarande kunder. Vi har fått en god uppfattning om kundernas köpbeteenden, vad de har för uppfattningar och behov. Denna studie kommer också att vara användbar för Divas Boning i deras marknadsplanering.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to expand knowledge of slow fashion brand customer by creating a persona that communicates the characteristics and aspects that influence purchase decisions of slow fashion consumers. Method: Since slow fashion consumer concept is still rather unexplored area, qualitative research strategy approach was chosen for this thesis, to get more deep data about the slow fashion consumer profile and buying insights. To address the research questions, single case study was used. The data was gathered through semi-structured interviews that were conducted with five female slow fashion consumers who had recently made a purchase from a Swedish slow fashion brand MASKA’s online store. To analyse the data, a coding approach was used. As a result of the coding process, themes that described the slow fashion consumer’s profile and buying insights emerged and were used later to create a narrative of the slow fashion buyer persona. Conclusion: In order to expand knowledge of slow fashion brand customer, a persona that communicates the characteristics and aspects that influence purchase decisions of slow fashion buyer was developed with this study. To answer the research questions and develop persona, five female slow fashion brand buyers were interviewed. Answering the research questions provided 8 different themes that emerged from the interview transcripts and made up slow fashion brandbuyer persona, which fulfilled the purpose. The emerged themes were describing who slow fashion brand buyer persona is: 1) creative mind; 2) globetrotter and explorer; 3) fond of nature, and themes that described what influences the slow fashion buyer: 4) consciousness; 5) quality over quantity; 6) shoppers of small boutiques; 7) trust; 8) esthetics. This study did not come to a firm conclusion, but rather aimed to provide more in-depth knowledge about slow fashion brand buyer and point out implications to further study the slow fashion consumer.

Abstract:
Shopping har tidigare varit en aktivitet som främst kvinnor har ägnat sig åt, men de senaste decennierna har fler och fler män börjat visa intresse för mode och shopping. I denna uppsats har vi valt att undersöka hur män beter sig när de handlar modekläder och hur de vill bli bemötta av personal i butik. För att undersöka detta har intervjuer med konsumenter och personal från butiker som erbjuder herrmode genomförts. Idag finns det många aktörer inom modebranschen vilket ger konsumenter flera alternativ att välja mellan när de ska handla kläder. Detta har lett till att modeföretag behöver anstränga sig för att kunna konkurrera med varandra på marknaden. Ett sätt att kunna differentiera sig på marknaden är att erbjuda en hög servicekvalitet. Butiksanställda har möjlighet att påverka kunder genom hela köpprocessen och därför är själva kundbemötandet ett verktyg företag kan använda sig av för att vinna konkurrensfördelar. Uppsatsens författare vill undersöka huruvida företag som erbjuder herrmode är medvetna om vilken typ av kundservice deras konsumenter förväntar sig och vill ha. Mellan den service som kunder förväntar sig och den service som sedan levereras av butiker skapas ett gap mellan förväntad och upplevd service, vilket kan påverka huruvida kunder är nöjda eller inte med sina köp. Utifrån insamlat material kan vi konstatera att intresset för mode och shopping bland män var större hos deltagande respondenter än vi förväntat oss. Konsumenterna var överens i fråga kring bemötande och har höga krav på personalens beteende. Vi anser därför att män borde ses som aktörer på modemarknaden i en högre grad då de verkar besitta ett högre intresse för mode och kläder än vad uppsatsens författare väntat sig.
Shopping was previously an activity that mostly women engaged in, but the last few decades, more and more men has begun to show interest in fashion and shopping. In this paper we have chosen to examine how men behave when they shop fashion clothes and how they want to be treated by staff in fashion stores. To examine this, interviews with consumers and staff from fashion stores that offer men's fashion have been conducted. This essay is written is Swedish. Today there are many actors in the fashion industry, giving consumers more options to choose from when they go shopping for clothes. This has led to that fashion companies need to make an effort to compete with each other on the market. One way to differentiate themselves in the market is to offer a high service quality. Store employees have the opportunity to influence customers throughout the buying process and therefore the customer service is a tool, which companies can use in order to gain competitive advantages. The essay writers want to examine whether companies offering menswear are aware of the nature of the customer service their consumers expect and want. Between the service that customers expect and the service that are then delivered in stores creates a gap between expected and perceived service, which can affect whether customers are satisfied or not with their purchase. Based on collected data, we can establish that the interest in fashion and shopping, among men was greater among participating respondents than we expected. Consumers were slightly concerned about the service and have high standards for personnel behaviour. We therefore believe that men should be seen as actors in the fashion market to a greater extent since they seem to inherit a bigger interest for fashion and clothing than expected by the essay writers.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2014.
The success of any hotel depends entirely upon the satisfaction of its consumers. In order to get this right, hotels have to know the buying behaviour of their customers, hence the saying that “the Customer is King, therefore the Customer is always right!” The Botswana hospitality and tourism market has experienced remarkable changes of late. The well-known hotel brands seem to have increased their market share in the existing market, which used to be dominated by local brands. A brand is a powerful tool that attracts more consumers to buying particular products and services. Some companies may even regard it as equity, as it can add value to the products with which it is associated. It is in this regard that branded properties are important in the hospitality industry. “Brands play an intangible role in the operational effectiveness of any organisation” (Bruce & Harvey, 2008:6). “Brands are increasingly important to tourist destinations and are used by all consumers in the process of buying situations” (Kotler, Bowen & Makens, 2006:315). This study focused on exploring the research problem, which stated: What will the effect of branding be on consumer buying behaviour in the hospitality industry of Gaborone? and the sub-problem, which stated: Will there be an increase in the buying behaviour of consumers due to branding in the hospitality industry of Gaborone? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the sales managers of the three participating hotels, and two questionnaires were distributed – one for guests and one for staff. The analysis of the questionnaires and the interview results indicated that the guests and employees of the hotels were aware of the brands that were available to them in the hospitality industry of Gaborone, Botswana. This was shown by the results that revealed that 52.99% guests stated that the hotel brand had a very important effect in their decision making on which hotel to choose, and 76.06% of the employees thought that the hotel brand had a very important effect in the decision making of customers on which hotel to choose.

Abstract:
What influences online service quality and how is service quality linked to customer satisfaction? This dissertation addresses these important questions using four alternative operationalizations of the service dimensions: expectations minus perceptions (E-P), a direct measure of the expectations - perceptions gap (direct), the perceptions measure only (P), and expectations minus perceptions adjusted for the absolute level of perceptions P-(E-P). Separate structural equation models are estimated for each measurement operationalization. The study found that E-P variables were not highly reliable and the discriminant validity for all models between service quality predictors was not high. A simple overall measure of service quality outperformed independent service dimensions for all models. The only significant individual predictors were sense of internet community and site customization. This study found that Internet buyers are not greatly sensitive to individual service dimensions which seem to act as indicators of a holistic latent service evaluation variable. Buyers are more sensitive to the transaction outcome than its process. A halo effect across service dimensions was also found. Satisfaction was linked to only cognitive, affective, and conative loyalty but not behavioral loyalty. When word of mouth was used as a proxy loyalty measure satisfaction explained more of the variance than the loyalty variables in all models. In assessing overall service, performance managers can use the overall variable. But given that a halo effect was found in this study, identifying and managing specific service dimensions is difficult.

Impulsyvus pirkimas yra nagrinėjamas daugelį metų, siekiant išsiaiškinti vartotojo vidinius motyvus, išorinių veiksnių įtaką šiam reiškiniui. Daugiau nei pusė pardavimo pajamų gaunama iš impulsyvių pirkimų. Tad išsiaiškinus, kokie faktoriai įtakoja vartotojų impulsyvius pirkimus, būtų galima padidinti pardavimų skaičių. Darbo tikslas buvo išanalizuoti impulsyvaus pirkimo ypatumus ir motyvus bei jų įtakojimą. Darbą sudaro trys dalys – teorinė, praktinė ir projektinė. Pirmoje dalyje aptariami teoriniai impulsyvaus pirkimo aspektai, pateikiami anksčiau atliktų tyrimų apžvalga. Antroje dalyje pateikiami darbo autorės atlikto tyrimo rezultatai, metodika. Trečioje dalyje aprašomas impulsyvaus pirkimo skatinimo projektas, įgyvendinimo sąlygos. Teorinėje darbo dalyje aptariami užsienyje atlikti tyrimai, kurių rezultatai parodė, jog dauguma užsieniečių perka impulsyviai. Atlikus tyrimą, paaiškėjo, jog dauguma Kauno gyventojų planuoja savo pirkinius ir tik retkarčiais perka neplanuotas prekes. Šiai problemai išspręsti projektinėje dalyje buvo pateiktas vartotojų požiūrio keitimo projektas.

Abstract:
There has been a lot of literature written about the concept of corporate social responsibiilty (CSR). However, not enough attention is paid to the impact of this concept on consumer behavior. Based on reference literature, empirical research, and the author's own research, this thesis examines and analyzes the influence of CSR on consumer buying behavior through awareness, perception and evaluation. It is also focused on the factors that influence the incorporation of CSR into the buying criteria. This thesis attempts to answer the question, whether the CSR is taken into consideration by buying decision making, or not.

Abstract:
This preliminary study investigated the factors which influence consumer choice of beef. A questionnaire and sensory evaluation considered the level of importance which consumers attached to the sensory (intrinsic attributes) properties of beef as compared to extrinsic factors. It was found that consumers use sensory properties to predict the freshness and overall eating quality, but they can also misinterpret the quality cues. Consumers made it clear that the freshness and the place of purchase played a prominent role in their decision to purchase red meat because they perceive the retailer to be an integral part of the overall quality assessment with regard to the purchase process of mutton and beef. The Total Food Quality Model is used as the frame of reference for analysing the way in which consumers perceive meat quality. The way in which consumers form expectations about the quality at the point of purcha7se, based on their own experience and information cues available in the shopping environment, is described as well as the way in which quality is experienced in the home during and after meal preparation. The relationship between quality expectations and quality experience and its implications for consumer satisfaction and repeat purchase intent is addressed. The study collected data by means of a questionnaire to evaluate the quality perceptions of beef. Cronbach alpha as reliability coefficient recorded high levels of reliability and the factor analysis revealed that only one factor, namely that of quality considerations is present in the analysis. Furthermore, the building on the insights obtained on subjective quality perception, possibilities for consumer–oriented product development in the meat sector are addressed. Issues dealt with here are branding, differentiation by taste, healthiness and convenience.

Abstract:
Marketers increasingly face challenges in trying to understand the decision-making processes and behaviours of those consumers located at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP). It has been proven that 73% of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) purchases are made at the point-of sale, and product packaging has been found to play a strategic role in seven of the ten in-store purchase decision criteria. Packaging is, therefore, an important basis through which companies can differentiate products from the plethora of competing brands. On average, big retailers carry 50 000 items and the typical shopper passes 300 items per minute. The packaging must, therefore, perform many of the sales tasks, making an overall favourable brand impression and experience. The research has attempted to understand the constructs of packaging and brand experience as purchasing decision criteria for FMCG products. The researcher administered 250 surveys with low-income consumers in the Star Hyper supermarket in the mining town of Carltonville. The findings demonstrated how low-income consumers have an appreciation of all product packaging as they often re-use it once the product is consumed. Furthermore, lower income consumers enjoy a greater brand experience with 'premium' product brands when compared to their brand experience levels with what they perceive to be 'cheaper' brand products. Even though a statistical weak relationship between product packaging and brand experience was found, the qualitative findings support the notion of a strong relationship as lower income consumers gain more value/greater brand experience not just out of consuming 'premium' brand products, but also from the use of the packaging for other needs afterwards.

Abstract:

This thesis is a description of the sales process for Toolox, the newest of four products produced by SSAB Oxelösund. Toolox is a tool steel, sold using eleven external dealers throughout Europe. Each dealer carries a wide range of steel grades for different uses. To increase sales volumes SSAB want to have the right support for their dealers. In this thesis the organizations and individuals who influence in the buying decision are identified as well as their buying behavior and the information that is needed in the sales situations. The requirements on the tool steel derive not only from the toolmaker itself but also from end users of a product further down the product chain. The study indicates that communication of benefits along the chain difficult because is not well integrated. The decision of what steel to buy is often made by the tool designer and these are influenced by a number of other individuals. It is also found that risk aversion and conservatism are barriers for product introductions.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to investigate factors affecting B2B brand building by applying the brand equity perspective in the professional services context. Three peer-reviewed and published articles and one book chapter examine different aspects related to the enhancement of brand equity and brand building in the B2B context. The first paper entitled “Brand equity in the business-to-business context: Examining the structural composition” (Biedenbach 2012) investigates the structural composition of brand equity and the interrelationships between the dimensions of brand equity in the B2B context. By specifying the multidimensional model, which can be utilized for measuring and managing B2B brand equity, the paper provides initial knowledge on how the companies can build a strong B2B brand across four dimensions of brand equity. The second paper entitled “B2B brand equity: Investigating the impact of contextual factors” (Biedenbach 2010) examines the impact of contextual factors in the organizational decision making process on the formation of B2B brand equity. The book chapter expands knowledge on B2B brand building by portraying how such characteristics of customers as relative size of their company and its industry sector can affect B2B brand building. The third paper entitled “The impact of customer experience on brand equity in a business-to-business services setting” (Biedenbach and Marell 2010) investigates the impact of customer experience on brand equity in the professional services setting. The study clarifies how customer experience can be utilized for building a strong B2B brand. The fourth paper entitled “Brand equity in the professional service context: Analyzing the impact of employee role behavior and customer-employee rapport” (Biedenbach, Bengtsson, and Wincent 2011) examines whether factors related to customers’ perception of employees’ role behavior in terms of customer perceived role ambiguity, role overload, and customer-employee rapport influence the development of brand equity in the professional service context. The paper advances knowledge on B2B brand building by considering the potential role of the company employees and consequences that their behavior can lead to in this process. To conclude, the doctoral dissertation demonstrates that the brand equity perspective can serve as a valuable foundation for theoretically understanding and practically managing B2B brand building.

Abstract:
Ample evidence from the literature suggests that in recent years, banks have been heavily investing in customer relationship management (CRM) systems. The reasons for this are traced to banks' emergent need to gain and sustain competitive advantage through greater knowledge of their customers. In turn, this increased knowledge is likely to also lead to increased: a) customer base, b) customer satisfaction, c) customer retention and, d) customer loyalty. The literature suggests that there is a knowledge gap, which relates to the reasons for CRM systems in adoption and usage as service delivery channels, as well as its effects on banks' customers. This is particularly the case with regards to the banks' customers' buying behaviour and is stemming from the fact that bank customers display some unique buying patterns. Based on the above, the aim of this study is to find out whether or not there is a potential influence of newly implemented CRM systems on consumer buying behaviour in the context of the Nigerian banking industry and also to assess the extent and nature of this influence (if any).

Full text
Abstract:

“I changed my mind” is a case study aimed at investigating returns. Returns are often negative occurrences and can be seen as the last “block” in a supply chain. However, what this study shows is that a return is a great source for customer profiling and can lead to an increase in market shares if managed correctly. Many companies go about investigating satisfied customers and what aspects these customers are satisfied with. Instead this research focuses on finding out what dissatisfied customer feel and why they decided to return a specific product. Investigations are also made concerning the internal processes to manage product returns and if they can be improved at the case company (thereby lowering costs).

This study shows how interrelated the supply chain is and illustrates how product returns can be lowered by changing the input in the supply chain. Reputation is a fragile thing and can be hurt from mismanagement related to returns and therefore I feel that it is important to study this phenomenon which is not often brought into light but nonetheless exits in almost every company (that offers returnable products).

Enjoy your reading and see how your company can prevent your customers from changing their minds.

Abstract:
Due to intense competition, retail stores are today forced to come up with exciting new sales promotional ideas to remain a relevant choice for customers. Gift giving is a sales promotional tool which has previously demonstrated to increase customer satisfaction and spending - an ideal situation for any retailer. However, gift giving has only been researched and confirmed for retailers that offer consumable goods. It has yet to be measured in a context where it is of greater difficulty for the customer to spend more than planned. This research fills that void by conducting a field experiment at a retail store offering durable shopping products.The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect gift giving has on gratitude, obligation, satisfaction, impulsive buying, and spending at a retail store offering durable shopping products. Through a field experiment, the study tests the effect on these variables of both small and large gifts and explore whether customer spending increases alongside the gift’s monetary worth.To complete the purpose of the study, a case company representing a durable shopping products retailer was selected. A field experiment was setup with two experimental groups and one control group. The results from the manipulation were collected through questionnaires which included questions pertaining to the study’s five variables. The collected data was then analysed through the statistics program SPSS.The only emotion that is affected from providing gifts in this retail environment is obligation, a negative emotion, which in turn decreases customer satisfaction. Since giving a gift only evokes negative emotions, it is concluded that a durable goods retailer should not use gift giving as a sales promotional tool. Additionally, when given a large gift, customer spending decreases considerably. This could imply that gift giving does not work in this retail environment, or that an extraneous variable affected the experiment’s outcome.

Mestrado em Marketing
Em consequência da evolução das tecnologias, surgiram novas formas de concretizar determinadas ações do dia-a-dia, tornando-as mais simples e rápidas. Um exemplo desta evolução tecnológica foi o aparecimento do e-commerce que veio revolucionar a forma tradicional de aquisição de bens, tornando-a mais simples e comoda, quebrando barreiras geográficas. Com o grande desenvolvimento do e-commerce em Portugal, sendo um dos sectores de preferência dos portugueses o vestuário, o marketing teve de acompanhar estas transformações. A presente investigação tem como objetivo principal a análise dos fatores (usabilidade, interatividade, confiança e estética) que influenciam a experiência online (web experience) do cliente, desde o momento em que entra no website, percebendo posteriormente se a web experience vai influenciar a decisão de compra. Como resposta ao objetivo do estudo foi elaborado um inquérito por questionário, abordagem quantitativa, que contou com 319 respostas válidas. A amostra teve como base de escolha a conveniência, sendo os resultados analisados segundo a estatística. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os quatro fatores da web experience influenciam a experiencia do cliente de vestuário online, sendo que a usabilidade é o fator com mais influência, seguido da estética, da interatividade e por fim, da confiança. No caso da influência positiva da web experience na decisão de compra, verifica-se que a maior parte dos respondentes concorda que a experiência online teve influência positiva na decisão da compra.

An example of this technological evolution was the appearance of e-commerce that came to revolutionize the traditional way of making purchases, making it simpler, more comfortable and breaking geographic barriers. With the great development of e-commerce in Portugal, being clothing one of the preferences sector, marketing had to follow the transformation. The main objective of this research is to analyses the factors (usability, interactivity, trust and aesthetics) that influence the client's web experience, and understand if web experience will influence the buying decision. As a response to the main objective, a survey, was prepared and got 319 valid cases. The sample was based on convenience and the results were analyzed according to the statistic. The results indicate that the four factors of the web experience influence the online experience of customer, with usability being the factor with the most influence, followed by aesthetics, interactivity and trust.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Vi utsätts för reklam dagligen och det är svårt för produkter att differentiera sig. Då vi även lever i ett förväntningssamhälle tror vi alltid att nästa produkt kommer vara bättre än den förra. Inom teknikområdet är det väldigt tydligt då vi ofta väntar på nästa lansering. Vilket gör att företagen marknadsför produkten långt innan den kommer ut. Det finns inte mycket forskning om produkter som inte lanserats men vi ser att det blir allt vanligare att man marknadsför sin produkt innan lansering. Syfte: Vi vill undersöka om teorierna gällande köpbeteende och kundvärde även är tillämpliga för produkter som ännu inte finns att köpa men marknadsförs innan lanseringen. Metod: Vi har studerat de teorier som idag finns etablerade avseende köpbeteende och kundvärde på marknaden. Vi har sedan använt oss av semistrukturerade intervjuer för att samla in det empiriska materialet. Urvalet har gjorts med hjälp av det så kallade snöbollsurvalet och alla respondenter har anknytning till Högskolan i Jönköping. Vi analyserar vårt material utifrån hermeneutiken där vi använder vår egen förförståelse och kunskap i analysen. Teori: Vi utgår från teorier om köpbeteende och kundvärde i vår analys. Resultat: Det finns många olika bakomliggande faktorer till vad som påverkar konsumenten att köpa en produkt. Våra respondenter anger samma huvudsakliga faktorer som skäl till sitt köpbehov för den produkt som ännu inte fanns att köpa på marknaden, när studien påbörjades, som teorierna om köpbeteende och kundvärde anger för de produkter som redan har lanserats. Varumärket har lyckats kommunicera de värderingar som konsumenten uppskattar samt lyckats skapa lojalitet hos de flesta respondenterna. Vår slutledning är därför att teorierna gällande köpbeteende och kundvärde på marknaden även är tillämpliga för produkter som ännu inte finns att köpa men marknadsförs innan lanseringen.
Background: We are exposed to advertising on a daily basis and it is difficult for products to differentiate themselves. Since we also live in a expectation society, we believe that the next product will be better than the last. Within the technologic area, this is very clear: we often wait for the next launch. This leads to firms marketing their product long before it comes out on the market. There is not much former research on products that are not launched, but we see that it is increasingly common for people to advertise their product before launch. Objective: We want to examine if the theories regarding buying behavior and customer value are also applicable for products not yet available for purchase but are marketed before launch. Method: We have studied the theories that today are located on buying behavior and customer value in the market. We have then used the semi structured interviews to collect the empirical material. The selection was made using the so-called snowball sample, all respondents are related to Högskolan i Jönköping. We analyze our material on the basis of hermeneutics in which we use our own understanding and knowledge in the analysis. Theory: We start with the theories of buying behavior and customer value in our analysis. Results: There are many underlying factors that influence a consumer  to buy a product. Our respondents use the same main factors as reasons to their buying need for the product that was not yet available in the market, when the study began, that the theories of buying behavior and customer value indicates for the products that have already been launched. The brand has managed to communicate the values that consumers appreciate and managed to create loyalty among most respondents. Our conclusion is therefore that the theories concerning buying behavior and customer value in the market also apply to products that are not yet available for purchase but are marketed before the launch.

Background: Buying decision process is a model that marketers use to get a better understanding of their customers and their behavior when purchasing a product. This process consists of five different steps; need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision and evaluation. Buying decision process has for a long time been an accepted model but scientists argue that the introduction of Internet as a channel for consumption has changed this process. The Internet has also led to a change of power in which customers today have greater influence, which greatly affects the buying decision process in e-commerce Purpose: The purpose is to explore how consumers perceive their behavior when they consume through e-commerce. Research questions:How do consumers perceive the buying decision process they experience when they consume through e-commerce?How do consumers perceive different factors that are important to them when they consume through e-commerce? Methodology: Qualitative study, cross-sectional design, semi-structured interviews. Conclusion: This thesis shows that the traditional model of the buying decision process is not consistent with consumers' perception of how they are undergoing the process when applied to an e-commerce context. This process is influenced by different factors, which is influence, convenience, webpage's atmosphere, risk, price, supply, consumption occasions, expectations, delivery and return.

Bakgrund: Köpbeslutsprocessen är en modell som marknadsförare använder för att få en bättre förståelse för sina kunder och deras beteende vid köp av en produkt. Denna process består av fem olika steg; behov, informationssökning, värdering av alternativ, köpbeslut och utvärdering. Köpbeslutsprocessen har länge varit en accepterad modell men forskare menar att introduktionen av Internet som en kanal för konsumtion har även förändrat denna process. Internet har även lett till ett maktskifte där kunderna idag har större inflytande, vilket i hög grad påverkar köpbeslutsprocessen inom e-handel Syfte: Syftet är att utforska hur konsumenterna uppfattar sitt beteende när de konsumerar genom e-handel. Forskningsfrågor: Hur uppfattar konsumenter den köpbeslutsprocess de går igenom när de konsumerar genom e-handel?Hur uppfattar konsumenterna olika faktorer som är betydelsefulla för dem när de konsumerar genom e-handel? Metod: Kvalitativ studie, Tvärsnittsdesign, Semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Slutsats: Studien visar att den traditionella modellen för köpbeslutsprocessen inte stämmer överens med konsumenternas uppfattning om hur de genomgår processen i en e-handel kontext. Denna process påverkas av faktorerna inflytande, bekvämlighet, webbsidans atmosfär, risk, pris, utbud, konsumtionstillfällen, förväntningar, leverans och retur.

In processing huge transaction data analysis, when we use Sequential Patterns Mining techniques to discover the buying behaviors of customers, we just can only get the order of the items purchased, but we are hard to find out the time intervals of related items purchased.So that we can not know the period of the product, lead to analysts can not give the most advantageous marketing in the most appropriate time. The aim of the this research is to develop a methodology to detect of the existence of repeat-buying behavior and discover the potential period of repeat-buying behavior. Using this model can facilitate the analysts to understand the product consumption characteristics more accurate, and let the analysts to determine the most advantageous marketing strategy in the best time, then the corresponding actions can be taken to maximize enterprise’s revenue.

In recent years, the rapid development of science and technologies boosts the popularity of the internet; however, traditional reading experience is changed dramatically due to the advent of e-books and subversion, that makes paper book is no longer the only way to transfer knowledge. This research compiles relevant documents based on Theory of Planed Behavior (TPB) as its research structure, and then utilizes Linear Structure Relation equation model (LISREL) and AMOS/SPSS analytical statistics to test “The behavior Intention of customers buying e-book” model and to find the dimensions of key factors influencing consumers’ purchasing decision toward e-books. The analysis results of Linear Structure Relationships equation model (LISREL) and AMOS/SPSS analysis showed that three research institutions – “Attitude” and “Perceived Behavioral Control” give significant impact to behavioral intention of consumers in purchasing process of buy e-book. These three items, Amongst “Perceived Behavioral Control” beliefs affect the most significant influence than the other two, mainly affected by “Facilitating Condition”; secondly, “Attitude” belief, mainly affected by “Primary group”; then thirdly, “Subjective Norm” belief, affected more by “Social Relevant Interest”. This research, according to the conclusions of the electronic book industry’s marking policy recommendations are as follows: First, in the dimension of manner construction, (1)The greater influence is “Social relevant interest”; however, among the observation variables of “Social relevant interest”, the loading of the factors that “may promote the development of electronic book industry” is the highest. Among the factors that affect “Individual relevant interest”, the loading of the factor that “may favor to gain new information” is the highest. (2)Recommended e-book can take advantage of the popularity of the network nowadays, enhancing the development of electronic products, to accelerate industrial development. Pursuant to which the public psychology, e-book industry can also use the mass media flagship to promote the idea of buying e-books can “facilitate access to new information” in their marketing campaigns for wining better sales. Second, in the dimension of subjective standard construction, (1)“Primary group” affectes mainly; however, among the observation variables of the “Primary group”, the loading of the factor on “friend” is the highest. In affects “the inferior community” in factor by “mass media” is the highest. (2)May sell or introduce the special offer, such as two people travel together or the social network system to promote the sale of each product by focusing on the friends around. Through the terms and conditions of the mass meida that more accepted and trusted by the crowd, the industry can market the e-books by mass media. Third, in the dimension of consciousness behavior control construction, (1)The greater influence is “Facilitating Condition”; however, among the observation variables of “Facilitating Condition”, the loading of the factors of “the convenient to save and access file” shall be the highest, and the next would be “the price and operation of the microreader”. Among the factors that affect “Self-Efficacy”, the loading of the factor whether “economic capacity is sufficient” is the highest. (2)It’s also recommended that e-book supplier who markets e-book must consider both the operational function of the microreader and the unit price to meet the people’s needs, and promote with the price strategy. Fourth, in the dimension of external variable, (1)“The age”, “the professional condition”, and “monthly personal income” all present significant differences among the external variable variance analysis. The particiants who with the age of “over 56 years old (including)”, the occupation of “the freelance”, and the monthly personal income “over NTD50,001 (including)” can mostly accept the behavior of “purchasing e-book”. (2)E-book industry can focus on the target audience of those who owns high-degree education, high-income, or freelancers, and can develop and market the coorespondent prodcuts to meet the needs of these three groups and also to diffenerticiate the product lines by providing and designing various special offers to approach sales of the products.

Abstract As the financial disputes springs up, the risk classification of the customers’ investment has become increasingly important, and "Know Your Customer (KYC)" is no longer just a slogan. A sequence beginning with risk evaluation, then communicating with the customer about his/her risk preference or risk tolerance, and finally designing the investment portfolio with the specified risk tolerance, can not only reduce the disputes but also win the customers’ trust and probably open the business door of the customers. The bank used to have its customer fill in the questionnaire and derive the risk evaluation of the customer. Based on it the bank then introduces its financial products to its customer. However, the customer may not be very sure about the risk preference for himself/herself. This research is trying to classify the customers into different risk preference group based on the customers’ characteristics observed by the bank asset manager. There are 250 questionnaires are returned in this research. The first part of the questionnaire collects data about the demographics of the customers. The second part is to collect the data about customers’ characteristics. The third part is to collect data about the customers’ investment in this bank. Using different statistical tools, including Pearson Coefficient, Independent t test, one-way ANOVA, and regression analysis, this research is trying to find the relationship between the demographics, customers’ characteristic, and risk preference. The empirical results can help the bank differentiate the customers’ risk preference. Keywords: Customer characteristics, Investment risk, KYC

Following the popular of the internet and the prosperous development of the information technology, group buying behavior tends to be a new way for consumption, which not only make use of information media but also break through the limitation of time and spaces. Furthermore, both the group buying, especially from the colleagues, and the on-line buying behavior are launching like a raging fire. Group purchasing behavior is a work of the clustered customers, who are engaged in acquiring the price discounts by accumulating the purchasing quantities. Meanwhile, group consumption has been characterized by economic and beneficial symptom to catch the consumer’s attention in the past years. Our study aims to explore the purchasing intention and consumption behavior from the group purchasers. In our research, we find that the demand for cheap price as well as sufficient benefits is not firstly considered for contemporary customers. On the contrary, the product quality, acceptance for the price, confidence in the main buyer and the seller, and the service quality from the seller have great impact on the consumption decision process. Therefore, the service quality provided by the seller plays a key role in the higher satisfaction and repurchasing intention from the customers. Our findings are as follows: the current buyers can afford to pay NT$2,000 below per month for internet consumption or group buying, which occupy 77% and imply that the group-buying behavior is not accepted in a large scale. That is, there are so many profits to be created from the viewpoints of the sellers. Additionally, the results reveal that the product price, product quality and the consumption satisfaction originated from participants are significantly correlated with the buyer’s loyalty, which means that the higher satisfaction due to the price, product quality and the service quality from seller emerges, the more intention to repurchase is shown to be.

Abstract With the changing of global economic environment, the decreasing of the difference of deposit and loan interest, and the deteriorating of the credit assets quality, the bank is facing a challenge to make profits and needs to develop a new strategy to cope with it. Increasing the proportion of non-interest income has become as the key to the banking sector’s restructuring success. As far as the personal wealth differentiation is concerned, the banking sector should provide different service for the different segments based on the contribution amount. In order to derive the maximum benefits from the customers and enhance the competitive advantage, a bank is required to be capable of finding the high net worth clients first. With the targeted customers, a corresponding service package can be developed according to their characteristics, and thus can attract the customers and finally doing the business with them. The purpose of this study is trying to find the relationship between the customer education, income, lifestyle, brand preference, leisure activities, community participation, real estate investment, collections, and so on with profit contribution. Using different statistical tools, we find some relationship between these variables with the profit contribution. With these empirical results, we can identify the targeted customers effectively, and develop corresponding marketing programs to attract the targeted customers, and consequently doing business with them effectively.

Impulse buying behavior is an unexpected and irresistible purchasing behavior. From all the past research on impulse buying, most researchers focused on psychological factors like purchasing environment, personality traits, marketing stimuli and behavior parameters etc. by using traditional questionnaire analysis to study the factors that lead to impulse buying. Because of the characteristic of being unexpected and sudden, researchers couldn’t identify the exact reason immediately. We even couldn’t know the actual outcomes when measuring the difference of purchasing attitudes before buying and after buying. That leads to the restrictions of previous research. Impulse buying is a very normal behavior of consumer behavior and transactions that could happen anytime and anywhere. According to past research, the percentage of impulse buying behavior would rise when some specific stores and particular industries were involved. Furthermore, the more impulse buying characteristics consumers have, the more customer value enterprises pursue. Therefore, no matter on academic research or on practices, impulse buying researches has already been a developed trend. The developments of database mining, information technology, and ubiquitous network have changed the society. Countless transaction behavior means countless transaction data are being recorded during the big data era. With the statistical methods on database and the collocation of marketing strategies, we can try to identify the motivations behind the consumer behavior. But there are few research studying impulse buying by using data mining methods on consumer transaction records. Therefore, I tried to use some data mining methods to analyze the credit cards transaction database that targeted customers with impulse buying characteristics by utilizing two-step clustering analysis, demographic variables analysis, and the dynamic segments stability analysis. According to the first outcome, the variables we chose and dealt with used in two-step clustering analysis from the credit cards database are able to differentiate the impulse buying and non-impulse buying customers. But the percentage of the impulse buying customer was too low. So, I kept tring another method to identify impulse buying customers by using only one classification index that was made from database. The second time’s outcome was siginificant and the number of those impulse buying customers we identified was much more than the first time. Finally, we can use these results, as well as the demographic variables analysis and the transaction items of industries analysis from records to make customer management programs, one-to-one customized marketing strategies, recommendation systems and to develop the collaboration relationships with related industries and enterprises. With the objective to create bigger and much more value for the market and companies.
