Akter, Sharmin, Raja, Sana January 2023 (has links)
The sharing economy enables sustainable consumption through efficient access to products, but transitioning from ownership to a subscription-based model faces barriers. The thesis author explored how the decoupling of product ownership impact on the variables; consumer's perceptions of - psychological value, monetary value, social value, brand image, brand attachment, brand loyalty, service quality, and product quality and performance in the context of white goods. Furthermore, the thesis authors added sustainability awareness as an important variable, while discussing the decoupling of product ownership. Although, there is a lot of literature on the above-mentioned variables the relationship between the decoupling of product ownership and the mentioned variables was theoretically and empirically unexplored. Using a quantitative and deductive research approach, an online survey consisting of 29 questions was conducted. The empirical data revealed that the decoupling of product ownership impact all the variables under study and have a significant relationship with them. The impact of decoupling of product ownership was found to be strongest on consumers' perception of - service quality, followed by brand loyalty, brand attachment, product quality and performance, and monetary value. By gaining a deeper understanding of the relationships between the variables companies can effectively develop marketing strategies, subscription plans, and pricing strategies.

Tellinger, Frida January 2018 (has links)
The field of technological subscription-based services are growing, and more organizations are using this strategy to provide their customers with products and services. Even though the market is growing the theories concerning the perceived value of their customers are not. The perception of value is an important part of a company’s strategy and the need for validated aspects concerning this is important to formulate. Customer-perceived value is a complex area and the gap in the theoretical understanding of this in the technological subscription-based products and services needs to be filled. The aim of this research is to explore this field and to gain a better understanding of what situational factors of the perceived value is. The situation studied in this research lies within the visitor-centered organizations perception of value of subscription-based multi-media guides. After an extensive literature review in this area data has been collected through eight semi-structured interviews. This has resulted in the findings of factors that affect both the beneficial and costly domains of the customer-perceived value. It was also clear that the situation plays a big role in the perceived value. The factors that was mentioned most of the respondents were seen as the most influential and these has been presented in a list in the end of the study. The results can be used as a base for future studies to gain a deeper insight in the area and also to conduct more studies to see if different situations have a bigger affect. The results can also be used as a guideline for practitioners within the field as they develop their products and services to increase value for their customers. / Företag som erbjuder tekniska prenumerationsbaserade lösningar blir fler, och allt fler företag använder sig av denna strategi för att förse sina kunder med produkter och tjänster. Även fast denna marknad växer saknas fortfarande teorier som rör området kring vad deras kunder har för upplevt kundvärde. Upplevt kundvärde är en viktig del av ett företags strategi och behovet av validerade teorier kring vilka aspekter som påverkar detta är viktiga att formulera. Upplevt kundvärde är ett komplext område och gapet i den teoretiska förståelsen kring detta inom området som erbjuder tekniska prenumerationsbaserade produkter och tjänster behöver fyllas. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka detta område för att få en bättre förståelse för vilka de situationsbaserade faktorer som påverkar det kundupplevda värdet är. Situationen som har studerats i denna rapport ligger i besöksorienterade organisationers upplevda värde av prenumerationsbaserade multi-mediaguider. Efter en omfattande litteraturstudie inom detta område har data samlats in med hjälp av åtta semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Tack vare det insamlade materialet har denna studie resulterat i en lista på faktorer som påverkar både de fördelaktiga samt kostsamma domänerna av det upplevda kundvärdet. Det var även tydligt att situationen spelar en stor roll i det upplevda kundvärdet. De faktorer som nämndes mest av respondenterna har ansetts haft störst påverkan och det är dessa som presenteras i en lista i slutet av rapporten. Resultatet kan användas som bas för fortsatta studier för att fördjupa sig inom området samt för att genomföra fler studier för att se om olika situationer har mer inverkan. Resultatet kan även användas som en riktlinje för de som praktiserar inom fältet när de utvecklar sina produkter och tjänster för att höja värdet för sina kunder.
