Vad är det som gör kunder lojala? : En studie om kundlojalitet med inriktning på flygbolaget SAS

Liedberg, Catrin, Hammarlund, Erica January 2006 (has links)
<p>Over the last couple of years the airline business has gone through some turbulent changes, which has meant that customer loyalty has been affected. It’s no longer certain how or why customers are loyal to an airline, although the companies now use more and more complicated loyalty programs to keep their customers.</p><p>The purpose of this essay has therefore been to examine what makes customers loyal to a service business, and what is the extent of their loyalty.</p><p>To be able to answer these questions, a survey about costumers loyalty were accomplished. The results we received show that availability is the most significant issue for customers of SAS, and satisfaction is the minimum requirement for the customer. But to be able to attract loyal customers the airline has to offer them more.</p> / <p>Flygbranschen har de senaste åren gått igenom en hel del turbulenta förändringar, vilket har gjort att kundernas lojalitet till flygbolagen har satts på prov. Det är inte längre självklart hur och varför kunder är lojala till ett flygbolag. Trots det använder sig företagen av mer och mer invecklade lojalitetsprogram för att binda sina kunder.</p><p>Syftet med denna uppsats har därför varit att undersöka varför och vad som gör kunder lojala till ett tjänsteföretag, samt på vilken nivå deras lojalitet ligger.</p><p>För att kunna besvara problemet har SAS kunder tillfrågats angående kundlojalitet i en enkätundersökning. Resultatet vi fick fram var att kunderna överlag är mycket lojala där tillgängligheten är den styrande faktorn. Vi har även konstaterat att fenomenet nöjda kunder alltmer har blivit en norm inom flygbranschen. I dagsläget måste därför flygbolagen kunna erbjuda sina kunder något extra för att bibehålla deras lojalitet.</p>

Povinnost loajality společníka kapitálové obchodní společnosti / Duty of loyalty of a member of a limited company

Gabonay, Andrea January 2015 (has links)
Duty of loyalty of a member of a limited company The thesis focuses on the issue of the duty of loyalty which has been imposed on the members of capital companies by the newly adopted private law legislation as enshrined in the new Civil Code, No. 89 / 2012 Coll., and in the Business Corporations Act, No. 90 / 2012 Coll., as amended and supplemented up to now. The paper compares the newly adopted legal framework which is already in force with the previous legal regulation and describes the most significant changes and differences as brought by the new legislation. Attention was also given to the relevant case law and to the issue of its possible application when connected with the new legal framework. It can be stated that the conclusions derived from the existing case law which has been based on the previous legal framework are applicable also to the newly recodified system. A summary of the overall impacts of the new legal rules shows that the imposition of the duty of loyalty on the members of capital companies in civil law strengthens the principle of legal certainty and eases the determination of those member duties which are not literally imposed by the law or by a memorandum. Albeit the duty of loyalty is a rule of conduct created by the written law, it is general enough to evaluate on its basis...

Estudo dos antecedentes e consequências da fidelidade dos clientes do serviço bancário / Study of the antecedents and consequences of customer loyalty in the banking

Joaquim, Arcélia Leonilde 24 February 2011 (has links)
A pesquisa aborda os antecedentes que influenciam na fidelização e as consequências resultantes da fidelização dos clientes no setor bancário, especificamente os funcionários públicos que possuem um vínculo com o banco, por receberam o salário através do banco. Com base na estatística descritiva, análise fatorial e regressão avalia-se os antecedentes de fidelidade (qualidade percebida, satisfação, confiança, comprometimento afetivo, valor percebido e o custo de mudança) e conseqüência de fidelidade (intenção de compra repetida; resistência a persuasão; recomendar o serviço; fortificação do relacionamento; recompensas ou privilégios). Todas às variáveis influenciam a fidelidade do cliente, mas satisfação e o valor percebido são os que mais influenciaram. A fidelidade teve como consequências todas as variáveis apresentadas, mas as que se destacaram foram: intenção de compra repetida; recomendar o serviço e fortificação do relacionamento. A pesquisa traz uma abordagem que possibilita as empresas de alcançar e manter a fidelidade por longo período. A grande limitação da pesquisa é que apresenta uma amostra abaixo da ideal para o tamanho da população. / The research deals with the precedents that play a role on customers loyalty and consequences of this loyalty in banking industry. It is specifically directed on public workers that are linked to the bank once they receive their wages through it. Based on descriptive statistics, factor analysis and regression we (I/it) evaluate the loyalty precedents (perceived quality, satisfaction, trust, affective commitment, perceived value and changing costs) and loyalty consequences (intention of repetitive buying, resistance to persuasion, service recommendation, relationship fortification, rewards and privileges). All these variables influence clients loyalty, but satisfaction and perceived value have influenced most. Loyalty had as consequences all the variables showed. However, special highlight goes to repetitive buying intention, recommendation of the service and relationship certification. The research brings an approach that allows companies to reach and keep loyalty for long time. The big limitation of the research resides on the fact that it was done using a sample size below the ideal, considering the population size.

Kundlojalitet inom dagligvaruhandeln / Consumer loyalty within grocery stores

Spiegel, John January 2014 (has links)
Att ha lojala kunder är något att sträva efter. Men vad gör en kund lojal? Den har studien försöker att ta reda på det genom att intervjua tio olika svenska personer för att få deras syn på lojalitet som fenomen och vad det innebär att vara en lojalkund för dem. Slutsatsen är att kundlojalitet är en relevant term men när det kom till att vara lojal visade det sig att de flesta av respondenterna inte var lojala, även om de hade ett lojalt beteende. En av de viktigaste faktorerna för deras köpbeteende var den geografiska platsen affären låg på i förhållande till deras eget boende. En av de viktigaste slutsatserna är även att det är genom ditt handlande(beteende) du visar din lojalitet inom dagligvaruhandeln. / Program: Kandidatutbildning i företagsekonomi

Kundklubbar : ett förmånligare program / Customer clubs : a more favorable program

LUNDIN, LOUISE, WIDLER, MALIN January 2011 (has links)
Relationer finns runtomkring oss, såväl privata som offentliga. Även inom marknadsföringen utgörs grunden av relationer och under 90-talet spred sig relationsmarknadsföringen snabbt som begrepp. Relationsmarknadsföringens främsta syfte anses av somliga varar att skapa lojalitet bland befintliga kunder och ett sätt att skapa lojalitet mellan ett företag och dess kund är genom en kundklubb. En kundklubb kan bli en lönsam investering vilket kan vara en av anledningarna till att kundklubbar blivit en aktivitet som många företag använder sig av. Dessutom är en kundklubb ett bra sätt för ett företag och företagets kunder att kommunicera med varandra samt engagera klubbmedlemmarna. Det finns många olika typer av förmåner, så som kommunikationen med företaget, bonus, utskick samt erbjudanden, som företaget kan erbjuda medlemmarna i en kundklubb. Men kundklubben kan vara utformad på flera olika sätt och förmånerna kan vara kombinerade på många olika sätt. Det viktiga är att förmånerna som företaget väljer att använda sig av är anpassade efter konsumenterna, men vad tycker konsumenterna om de olika förmånerna?Vår uppsats har till syfte att undersöka vilka förmåner e-handelsföretags kundklubbar kan innefatta för att tillfredställa dagens konsumenter. Studien har utförts med en kvantitativ Internetundersökningen som baseras på 345 svarande konsumenter. Majoriteten av våra respondenter handlar vanligtvis från 1-3 Internetbutiker och 83 procentenheter upplever sig få en närmare relation och ett ökat förtroende för ett företag då de är medlemmar i företagets kundklubb.Förmånerna som konsumenterna uppskattar mest och som bör ingå i en kundklubb är fri frakt vid olika tillfällen, rabatter för medlemmar, bonuspoäng vid köp, att enkelt kunna kontakta företaget, möjlighet till förhandsshopping samt förtur till reor. Erbjudanden inom en kundklubb ska gärna vara anpassade efter den enskilde kunden, bonuspoäng vid köp är något som uppmuntrar respondenterna till att handla mer och medlemmarna vill gärna vara med och påverka. Det är viktigt att enkelt kunna kontakta företaget och helst kontaktar medlemmarna företaget via mail. Medlemmar är överlag relativt ointresserade av att kommunicera med andra medlemmar men kommunikation kan ske genom ett forum. Däremot värdesätter konsumenterna att kunna läsa vad andra kunder tycker om olika produkter.Resultatet visar att konsumenterna inte i första hand ser en kundklubb som en social gemenskap utan snarare ett sätt att kunna handla enklare, bättre och mer förmånligt. / Program: Civilekonomprogrammet

At the heart of loyalty : a comparative analysis of military loyalty in the armies of Greek city-states and Hellenistic kingdoms

Herzogenrath-Amelung, Tristan Andreas January 2018 (has links)
This thesis is a comparative analysis of the concept of military loyalty in the armies of Greek city-states and Hellenistic kingdoms, combining ancient evidence with the use of modern theories of organisational structures and combat motivation. It presents a basic contrast between Polis armies, which displayed high levels of loyalty, and Royal armies, which suffered from frequent cases of non-compliance and disloyalty, and argues that this contrast is a consequence of two fundamentally different ways of generating compliance and loyalty. Polis armies, it will be shown, predominantly exercised normative power, i.e. they relied on a combination of symbolic incentives and rewards, and a civic ideology of sacrifice for the common good; correspondingly, the soldiers, over whom this power was exercised, predominantly displayed moral involvement with their army, that is they complied voluntarily, out of a belief in the righteousness of their cause and in the alignment of their own benefit with that of their organisation. Royal armies, on the other hand, primarily utilised remunerative power, i.e. the allocation and manipulation of material rewards, which in turn was met by predominantly calculative involvement from the soldiers, i.e. a utilitarian assessment of risk and reward. These two compliance relationships - normative-moral and remunerative-calculative - lay at the heart of the different levels of loyalty we find in Polis and Royal armies. Nevertheless, at times this distinction broke down, revealing areas of overlap and a complex layering of motivations and types of power. The argument will be developed over the course of five chapters. Chapter 1 provides the theoretical framework. It explains Amitai Etzioni's Compliance Theory, detailing the three congruent compliance models organisations may use. These models are based on the type of power the organisational elites (generals and officers) apply, and the type of involvement present in the lower participants (soldiers): normative power and moral involvement, remunerative power and calculative involvement, and lastly, coercive power and alienative involvement. I will also stress the importance of the socio-political system over that of primary groups for the generation of compliance and loyalty. Chapter 2 presents the evidence for the different levels of loyalty in Polis and Royal armies, showing how citizen forces were robustly cohesive in the field, whereas the armies of the Successors and Hellenistic kings frequently succumbed to treachery, non-compliance, and disloyalty. I argue that one of the main reasons for this contrast lay in the powerful socio-political system that enveloped Polis armies, allowing them to develop a normative-moral compliance relationship. At the same time, however, it caused intense political infighting. Chapter 3 will explore one feature of the socio-political system: funerary practices. We shall analyse how armies and societies commemorated their soldiers, and witness the effects of civic ideology on the expressive content in soldiers' epitaphs. The evidence suggests strong normative elements for Polis armies, but does not allow us to draw firm conclusions regarding Royal armies. Chapter 4 will discuss the third type of congruent compliance relationship, i.e. coercive-alienative. I describe how neither army had access to, or need of, an effective coercive apparatus, as both had found other ways to create and maintain compliance. Chapter 5 will analyse the reward structures of Polis and Royal armies, and I will draw attention to the overall symbolic nature of rewards in citizen armies, and the largely material aspects of Royal army rewards, while pointing out ways in which Royal army elites strove to exert normative power through settling soldiers. This reflects the predominant types of power and involvement that characterised these organisations. Finally, a concluding section highlights the contrasts that were revealed in this thesis, but also discusses areas of convergence where the 'Polis army vs. Royal army' dichotomy broke down: creating and maintaining loyalty is a complex task, and military organisations employ more than one way to achieve it.
