Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to understand how companies in the retail industry altered the disposition of their marketing during the Covid-19 outbreak and whether crisis management plans contributed to the producers' choice of disposition. To conduct the survey, semi-structured interviews were held with three retail companies, which are categorized as “large companies” according to the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth. The respondents consisted of senior managers from the marketing department of within each firm. The results show that crisis management plans contributed to companies' ability to identify new opportunities and counter threats, while dynamic functions contributed to their ability to respond to the crisis in an effective way by their choice of marketing disposition. Furthermore, the respondents stated that crisis management plans are not relevant until the outcome of the crisis is more clear. Lastly, the results show that most companies saw opportunities to reach more potential consumers on the internet with the new migration of pensioners on the internet, when the pandemic forced society to become more active on the internet.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studies syfte är att skapa förståelse för hur producenter inom detaljhandelsbranschen ställde om sin disponering av marknadsföring under Covid-19 samt huruvida krishanteringsplaner bidrog till producenternas val av disponering. För att genomföra undersökningen utfördes semistrukturerade-intervjuer med tre stycken detaljhandelsbolag, vilket kategoriseras som “stora företag” enligt tillväxtverket. Respondenterna bestod av högt uppsatta chefer från marknadsavdelningen inom respektive företag. Resultatet visar att krishanteringsplaner bidrog till företags förmåga att identifiera nya möjligheter och motverka hot, samtidigt som dynamiska funktioner bidrog till att bemöta krisen på ett effektivt sätt genom deras val av disponering avseende marknadsföring. Vidare, redogör respondenterna att krishanteringsplaner inte är av relevans förrän man kan tydliggöra utfallet av den pågående krisen. Slutligen, visar resultaten att majoriteten av företagen såg möjligheter att nå ut till fler potentiella konsumenter på internet då pandemin tvingade samhället att bli mer aktiva på internet. I synnerhet, har man sett en drastisk ökning av pensionärer på internet vilket skapat nya möjligheter för företag.
