Som Göteborgs marknad ser ut idag erbjuder utbudet både en bredd och ett djup. Många butiker ligger tillgängliga i eller med närhet till stadens centrum. Då det inte direkt finns en lucka i marknaden är det metavärdet och produktmixen som avgör valet av varumärke för konsumenten. Tanken med vår rapport är att undersöka möjligheten att expandera den redan existerande butikskedjan Urban Outfitters också till Göteborg. Vi vill därför undersöka Göteborgskonsumentens inköpsbeteende samt vilket som är den bästa lokaliseringen av en butik . Vi har tittat närmare på företaget Urban Outfitters vilket är en Amerikansk butikskedja, som startade med en butik under namnet Free People. Detta var år 1970. Vi har genomfört en marknadsplan med företaget som studieexempel. För att kunna undersöka om Göteborg är en bra plats att expandera till har vi undersökt konsumenten, dennes köpbeteende samt kunskap och uppfattning om företaget. Dessutom har vi tittat p och analyserat vart den bästa lokaliseringen för en butik. Till en början studerade vi befintlig litteratur för att få fram en ram för arbetat. Vi utförde 100 stycken påstana intervjuer. Resultatet av vår undersökning visar att det finns kunskap och övervägande positiva åsikter om företaget, vidare utförde vi en fokusgrupp intervju för att få en djupare förståelse för inte bara hur de handlar utan också hur de resonerar vid val av varumärke, vi diskuterade också företaget och Göteborgsmarknad. För att Urban Outfitters ska kunna etablera sig och få en stabil kundgrupp anser vi att det endast är till deras fördel att fortsätta med samma affärsidé som de har nu vad gäller produktmixen och konceptet. Utifrån vår analys och de marknadsundersökningar vi utfört drog vi slutsatsen att Göteborg är en lämplig marknad om företaget vill expandera i Sverige och att stora lokaler i centrumkärnan är läget man ska satsa på.An extensive marketingplan. / Program: Butikschef, textil och mode

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF MARION F. CONLEE III, for the Master of Science degree in ZOOLOGY, presented on AUGUST 8, 2008, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: IMPACTS OF ILLINOIS OUTFITTERS ON WHITE-TAILED DEER AND WILD TURKEY POPULATIONS MAJOR PROFESSOR: Clayton K. Nielsen Midwestern states have little public land available for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hunting and access to private land is critical for maintaining healthy wildlife populations through recreational hunting. Between 1980 and 2001 trophy deer harvest in the Midwest increased and created a market for deer and turkey outfitters. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) noticed outfitting operations increased and created policy to understand outfitter management practices; however these data have not been formally analyzed. I sent 2 mail-in surveys to assess attitudes and business practices of Illinois outfitters and residents from Pike and Adams counties. For Pike County outfitters, I calculated hunter density, success rates, harvest intensity, and outfitter ability to predict hunter and harvest numbers. Outfitters indicated most of their clients were non-resident hunters, 30% of outfitters did not offer firearm deer hunts, and the deer sex ratio was skewed towards females on outfitter property. Many survey respondents who hunted in west-central Illinois lost access to property because of outfitters, which caused some hunters to quit hunting. Hunters on outfitter property did not harvest as many deer as expected at the county level. Increasing trends of deer and turkey outfitters in Illinois suggests that the IDNR should monitor outfitter activities so that management can be altered if necessary.

Florida is the “Fishing Capital of the World”. With 3.1 million recreational anglers and total recreational fishing-related expenditures of $5 billion in 2011, Florida ranked first in the nation. Given the large benefits of recreational fishing in Florida, assessing the preferences of anglers is critical for sustaining the substantial benefits obtained from recreational fishing in Florida. The objective of this study is to estimate the value of fishing attributes using data on recreational fishing services offered by guides and outfitters. Hedonic price models are applied to estimate the implicit prices of fishing trip attributes and features. The estimated total economic impacts suggest that recreational fishing activities have added $151.19 million value to the economy of Florida and generated $69.73 million in total output. The results can be used by state and national policymakers for future policy design and management of this unique ecosystem service to ensure a sustainable economy.

From the Proceedings of the 1972 Meetings of the Arizona Section - American Water Resources Assn. and the Hydrology Section - Arizona Academy of Science - May 5-6, 1972, Prescott, Arizona / Increased useer intensity of the Colorado River through Grand Canyon National Park and Monument required the national park service and the Colorado River outfitters association to adopt new policies to improve the quality of river trips and to protect the river. This study was undertaken to gain a greater awareness and understanding of visitor expectations, perceptions, interactions, satisfactions and dissatisfactions by analysis of response to a questionnaire mailed to a random sample of 2,622 past river runners from which a 65 percent return was received. Analysis of individual question tabulation and multivariate data-cluster analysis were performed. Users found crowding or user density to be at least tolerable. The largest group of runners were average in wilderness or other activities, and low relative to less strenuous activities. A large group of runners had relatively little experience in the wilderness. A large group of runners enjoyed the trip, desired more regulations, and were moderate about taking more trips. A large group rated the trip as a wilderness adventure which provided the opportunity to 'get away'. Cluster analysis is shown to be a useful tool of policy-making institutions.
