Abstract [sv]

Syfte – Studiens syfte är “Studera dagens köpkanaler för att möta nya trender inom detaljhandeln.”. För att besvara denna studies syfte har tre frågeställningar formulerats: 

1.       Hur är dagens köpbeteende idag?

2.       Vilka är dagens köpkanaler inom klädhandeln? 

3.       Vilken typ av köpbeteende passar dagens köpkanaler?

 

Metod – För att besvara studiens syfte genomfördes en litteraturstudie samt intervjuer. Litteraturstudien genomfördes för att analysera och samla tidigare kända empiriska studier och forskningsöversikter vilket berör det aktuella forskningsområdet. Fem stycken intervjuer genomfördes med personer inom olika områden för att skapa en bred förståelse kring ämnet. Insamlad data har systematiskt analyserats med hjälp av tematisk analys. Teorier kring studiens tre frågeställningar har utvecklats längs studiens gång.

 

Resultat – Studien har identifierat tre köpbeteende: Showrooming, webrooming och köp via direkt kanal. Fyra köpkanaler har identifierats som dagens köpkanaler inom klädhandeln: Brick-and-mortar, direktkanal, e-tailer och dubbel kanal. Studien har identifierat att köpbeteendet showrooming överensstämmer med Brick-and-mortar i formatet showroom samt direktkanal eller e-tailer. Webrooming överensstämmer med direktkanal, e-tailer följt av brick-and-mortar. Köpbeteendet direktkanal, uppstår med köpkanalerna brick-and-mortar, e-tailer och direktkanal. Trenden är att detaljhandlare inom klädhandeln övergår till en sömlös samverkan mellan olika kanaler.

 

Implikationer – Studien identifierar relationer mellan köpbeteende och köpkanaler vilket kan öka förståelsen för olika aktörer inom klädhandeln. Trender vilket har identifierats i studien kan hjälpa aktörer inom klädhandeln att förstå trender av köpbeteende. Klädhandeln kan dra fördel av detta. Studien tillför förståelse på vilket sätt konsumenter påverkar utvecklingen av köpkanaler genom den bekräftande rollen konsumenter har vid köp. Vidare forskning inom området kan vara att göra en kvantitativt studie för att fånga trendernas styrka och därmed dess påverkan på marknaden i stort.

 

Begränsningar – Studien är begränsad till intervjuer vilket endast utförts med människor i Sverige. För att få en bredare förståelse och mer allmän gällande studie kan intervjuer över hela världen genomföras. Studien är begränsad till fem intervjuer, vilket kan utökas till fler intervjuer och intervjuer av människor i fler branscher med unik relation till studiens ämne. 

Abstract [en]

Purpose – The purpose of the study is “Study the current buying channels to meet coming trends within retailing” Three questions have been formulated to answer the purpose of this study. 

1.       What are the current buying behaviours today? 

2.       What is today’s buying channels within the clothing retail market?

3.       What type of buying behaviour corresponds to today's buying channels? 

Method – To answer the purpose of the study, a literature study and interviews were conducted. The literature study was conducted to analyse and gather information from previously known empirical studies, research overviews which relate to the relevant research area. Five interviews were conducted with experts with different perspective of clothing retail market, to create a broader understanding of the topic. The collected data has been systematically analysed using thematic analysis. Theories surrounding the study's three research questions have been developed along the course of the study.

 

Findings – The study have identified the major buying behaviours and buying channels in society given the study's delimitations. The major buying behaviours which have been identified are Showrooming, webrooming and purchases made through single channel. Identified buying channels are brick-and-mortar, direct channel, e-tailer and dual channel. Channel strategies used are Omnichannel, Multi-channel and cross-channel. Trends which may continue are the continued adaptation and integration of omnichannel and cross-channel systems among retail companies. Additional trend of importance is the continued work from retail firms with seamless interaction between multiple channels. Information retrieval will be done more online, and customers are looking for an experience when they visit a store, akin to showrooms. Omnichannel integration where the customer experiences a seamless experience between the different channels have become crucial. Clothing companies focus on the experience at the store and choose to invest in fewer stores of higher quality.

 

Implications – The study identifies relations within buying behaviours and buying channels which may gain create a deeper understanding within the retail market. Trends which have been identified may aid retail firms understanding for consumer different behaviour. The study contributes with an understanding how consumers effect the development of buying channels, through their confirmatory role. Further research in this area can be to conduct a quantitative study to catch the trend, the strength and therefore its impact on the overall market.

 

Limitations – The study is limited to interviews conducted only with people located in Sweden. To gain a broader understanding, interviews can be conducted all over the world. The study is limited to five interviews. Given the limitation, more interviews of people in additional sectors may be of interest for further research.
