Servicelandskapets påverkan på studenters konsumentbeteende : Undersökning inom mobilabonnemangsbranschen / Servicescapes influence on students´ consumer behaviour : Study within cellphone subscription business

Tyft, Rasmus January 2017 (has links)
I Inledningen och problemdiskussionen förklaras bakgrunden till uppsatsen, som är att försöka finna om servicelandskap påverkar studenters konsumentbeteende. Branschen som valdes att undersöka var den svenska mobil abonnemangsbranschen, branschen valdes eftersom den har tillsynes två olika positioneringsstrategier. Ena positioneringsstrategin försöker uppnå högre servicekvalité, främst igenom servicelandskap i form av butiker, dock med ett högre pris. Andra positioneringsstrategin består av att erbjuda ett lägre pris, men har dock inget existerande servicelandskap, utan all kommunikation förutom marknadsföring sker via internet eller telefon. Inriktningen på uppsatsen sågs som intressant eftersom det inte hittades tidigare forskning som försökt finna samband om servicelandskapets påverkan på konsumentsegmentet studenter. Syftet med uppsatsen är att finna om servicelandskapet inom mobilabonnemangsbranschen har en betydande roll i studenters konsumentbeteende. För att finna slutsatser kring konsumentbeteende behövdes en generalisering av studenters värdeuppfattning definieras, eftersom värdeuppfattningen ses som det avgörande vid val av tjänst. För att kunna få svar på studenters värdeuppfattning skapades två frågeställningar, (1) Ger servicelandskap ökat upplevd servicekvalité för studenter inom mobilabonnemangsbranschen? (2) Är abonnemangbranschen en priskänslig marknad för studenter? Frågeställningarna handlar om de två underliggande faktorerna till upplevt värde, dessa är upplevd kvalité och upplevt pris som konsumenten använder sig av för att skapa en värdeuppfattning. I teorikapitlet skapades den teoretiska referensramen. Första delen i teoretiska referensramen ger fördjupning om begreppen serviceupplevelser och servicelandskap där båda begreppen anses vara starkt sammankopplade. Andra delen fördjupar sig i konsumentbeteende och studenters konsumentbeteende. I metoden preciserades hur undersökningarna gick tillväga för att besvara frågeställningarna. Undersökningarna var kvantitativt inspirerade som respondenterna svarade på igenom webbaserade enkäter. I resultatkapitlet visas resultaten ifrån frågorna som ställdes i undersökningarna. I analysen klargjordes och diskuterades resultaten från undersökningarna. Där det framkom att det inte var möjligt att enkelt skapa en generalisering, på grund av varje respondents individualitet. I slutsatsen redogjordes uppsatsens viktigaste konklusioner. Vilket är att även om det finns tydliga indikationer på att studenters konsumentbeteende påverkas av servicelandskap, går det inte att fastställa ett svar på syftet, eftersom respondenternas individualitet gör att en generalisering av hela konsumentsegmentet studenter utifrån resultaten från undersökningarna inte är tillräckligt tillförlitliga. / In the introduction and problem discussion the thesis background was explained, which was, try to discover if servicescape influence students’ consumer behaviour. The line of business that were chosen was the Swedish cellphone subscription business, the specific line of business was chosen because it seemingly had two different positioning strategies. One strategy that tries to achieve higher service quality, mainly through servicescape in the shape of physical stores, though with a higher price. The other strategy focuses on lower prices, though without any existing servicescape, all communication expect marketing happens through the internet or phone. The orientation of the thesis seemed interesting because no earlier research was found that have tried to find connections between servicescapes influence and the consumer segment students. The purpose of the thesis was to find if the servicescape in cellphone subscription businesses have a significant role in students´ consumer behaviour. To find conclusions about their consumer behaviour, a generalization of students’ value perception was needed, because the value perception is considered crucial in the consumers’ choice of service. To be able to get answers regarding students’ value perception two questions were formulated. (1) Do servicescape give students increased perceived service quality in the cellphone subscription business? (2) Is the cellphone subscription business a price sensitive market for students? The questions are about the two underlying factors to perceived value, these are perceived quality and perceived price that the consumers use to create their value perception In the theory chapter, the theoretical framework was created. First part of the theoretical framework immerses in the concepts service experience and servicescape, both concepts are seemingly strongly connected to each other. Second part immerses in consumer behaviour and consumer behaviour of students. In the method, the research structure is pinned down and how the surveys achieved results to answer the questions formulations. The research were quantitative inspired studies that the respondents answered through web-based surveys. In the result chapter, the results from the questions of the surveys are revealed. In the analysis, the results from the surveys is disambiguated and discussed. In the analysis, it becomes clear that it´s not possible to easily make a generalization, because each of the respondents’ individuality. In the conclusion, the most important findings of the thesis are presented. Which are, even though there are clear indications that students’ consumer behaviour is affected by the servicescape, it´s still not enough to confirm an answer to the purpose. Because, the respondents’ individuality makes a generalization of the entire consumer segment students not reliable enough.

Secondary Preservice Teachers' Perceptions of Preparation to Teach in Urban Schools

Reynolds, Jacquinne 01 January 2016 (has links)
University officials have identified a problem among secondary preservice teachers (SPTs) who have expressed reluctance to teach in local urban schools. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the perceptions of SPTs regarding their preparation for and experiences with teaching in urban school settings. Vygotsky's zone of proximal development and Bruner's concept of scaffolding served as the conceptual frameworks that guided this study. Data were collected from 11 SPTs who completed the requirements of their field service experiences in urban schools. Data collection consisted of individual interviews, one focus group interview, and field observations. Findings showed that SPTs desire to make a difference in urban schools, lack confidence in managing culturally diverse classrooms, and desire more faculty guidance in working with diverse populations. SPTs asserted that they need more research-based teaching strategies and urban field experiences. Implications for social change include more collaboration among university faculty, urban school principals, mentor teachers, and community organizations. Findings may be used to prepare SPTs to serve culturally diverse populations, which may improve students' academic achievement in urban classrooms.
