Abstract [sv]

Denna studie beskriver vad handelsorganisationer med butiksförsäljning som primär försäljningskanal bör fokusera på för att öka sin lönsamhet. För att samla in information har vi gjort en kvantitativ enkätundersökning som skickades ut till primärt 96 stycken VD:ar i Svenska handelsorganisationer inom B2C. Denna studie visar att handels-organisationer har stora utmaningar när det gäller att hantera digitaliseringen och bli digitalt mogna, även om de aldrig tidigare investerat så mycket i digital teknik som under senare år. Det mest anmärkningsvärda i denna studie är dock att det inte finns något samband mellan deras lönsamhet och digitala mognad. Det indikerar på att deras investeringar de senaste åren inte bidragit till vare sig en ökad lönsamhet eller en ökad effektivitet. Slutsatsen belyser att handelsorganisationer bör se över synen på digital innovation och förbättra styrningen genom att ge anställda möjligheten att skapa bättre strategier med hjälp av digital teknik. Vidare bör de fortsatt värdesätta intuition men till mycket högre grad säkerställa att de har resurserna och möjligheterna att nyttja kund- och affärsdata, för att på så vis kunna använda sig av ett teknokratiskt beslutsfattande. Slutligen bör de behålla satsningar mot en mer organisk organisationsstruktur och säkerställa att de har mätbara målsättningar i deras digitaliseringsstrategier.

Abstract [en]

This research paper describes what brick-and-mortar organizations, in the new technological world, should focus on in order to increase their profitability. Information was collected primarily from 96 CEO:s at Swedish retail organizations working within B2C. This study shows that retail organizations have great challenges in managing digitalisation and becoming digitally mature, even though they never invested as much in digital technology as in the recent years. The most remarkable result in this study, however, is that there is no link between their profitability and digital maturity. This indicates that their investments in recent years have not contributed to either increased profitability or increased efficiency. The conclusion highlights that retail organizations should review the view of digital innovation and improve management by giving employees the opportunity to create better strategies using digital technology. They should also continue to value intuition but to a much greater degree ensure that they have the resources and opportunities to use customer and business data, in order to be able to use technocratic decision-making. Finally, they should maintain their efforts towards a more organic organizational structure and ensure that they have measurable objectives in their digitization strategies.
