The initial idea for this research is based on the gap that I found in my company performance and specifically in the process of value offering and the relationship with customers. The company has recently faced the challenges of a loss of market share and competitive advantage. The aim of this study is to provide a validated value offering constructs for the company. That is, knowing the customers’ needs, value and preferences better; identifying what kind of value the customers are looking for and improving the value offerings of the company in order to raise customers´ satisfaction. Understanding the priority of value offering elements from customers’ perspective, the nature of customer satisfaction and the relationship between the elements of value offering and customers´ satisfaction are the main objectives. The relevant literature and research related to value offering including its elements, value, perceived value and customer satisfaction are reviewed comprehensively. The methodology used is a case study. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used for collecting and analysing the data. In qualitative phase, 16 customers were selected for in-depth interviews and for quantitative phase 268 customers who all are dentists responded a survey made up of 24 scales. The result showed that the highest significant element is Price value and also it was revealed in which important parts related to value offering and customer satisfaction the company is performing poorly.

The car retailing industry is currently undergoing a significant transformation. This transformation is due to the automotive industry switching from producing internal combustion engines vehicles to battery electric vehicles. The retailing industry need to transform, like the rest of the automotive industry, and their most essential asset is the customer relationship. This transformation is affecting several aspects of car retailing, with many revenue streams being diluted, or disappearing completely by the emergence of battery electric vehicles. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate current industry transformations and evaluate how car retailers can develop innovative value offerings to manage industry changes proactively. Results have emerged by examining theory connected to digital transformation, customer-centricity and dynamic capabilities, combined with 25 interviews with customers, industry stakeholders and internal personal at the case company, Börjessons Bil. These include that customer behaviors have changed immensely, that digitalization drives transparency and that retailers require new revenue streams within the service industries. Based on these results two value offering concepts were developed: - An internal loyalty program, based on customer lifetime value calculations, providing customers with perks and benefits, while giving Börjessons Bil strengthened relationships and more data. - A business to consumer subscription service, which bundles many services connected to mobility, such as tire switching and windscreen repairs, into one package deal. This concept will provide customers with a more effortless vehicle owning experience. / Bilhandelsindustrin genomgår för närvarande en omfattande transformation. Denna berörs till stor del av att bilindustrin håller på att ändras från att producera bilar med förbränningsmotorer till elbilar. Bilhandelsindustrin behöver förändras, precis som den generella bilindustrin, och bilhandelns mest värdefulla tillgång är relationen till deras kunder. Transformationen påverkar flera delar av bilhandeln och många omsättningsmöjligheter vattnas ur eller försvinner totalt genom införandet av elbilar. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka aktuella branschförändringar och utvärdera hur bilhandlare kan utveckla innovativa värdeerbjudanden för att hantera industriförändringar proaktivt. Resultat har framkommit genom att undersöka teori kopplat till kundfokusering, digital transformation, och dynamiska förmågor, kombinerat med 25 intervjuer med kunder, intressenter inom industrin samt intern personal på Börjessons Bil. Dessa intygar att kunder har förändrats avsevärt de senaste 10 åren, att digitalisering är en drivkraft för transparens samt att bilhandlare behöver skapa nya omsättningsmöjligheter inom serviceindustrin. Baserat på resultaten har två koncept på värdeerbjudanden utvecklats: - Ett internt lojalitetsprogram, baserat på kundens livstidsvärde, som ger kunden bonusar samt andra fördelar, samtidigt som det ger Börjessons Bil förbättrade kundrelationer och mer data. - En prenumerationstjänst för service industrin, som paketerar åtskilliga tjänster kopplat till mobilitet, så som däckbyte och vindrutereparationer, till ett paket. Detta koncept kommer att förse kunden med en smidigare upplevelse av att äga en bil.
