Opportunities and challenges with digital transformation : A case study on how a retail organization can work with marketing in digital channels (English)
Abstract [sv]

Digital transformation har lett till ökad användning av digitala teknologier, detta skapar förändringar i samhället som kan leda till att företag måste ta fram nya strategier för att vara fortsatt konkurrenskraftiga. Med en kvalitativ ansats i form av en fallstudie undersöker denna studie hur ett företag inom detaljhandeln kan hantera och struktureras efter digital transformation inom marknadsföring samt vilka möjligheter och utmaningar detta medfört gällande marknadsföring i digitala kanaler. Datainsamling skedde via semistrukturerade intervjuer med olika chefer samt en medarbetare inom en detaljhandelsorganisation. 

Resultatet visar hur organisationen använder sig av digital marknadsföring i sociala medier samt kundspecifik marknadsföring via e-post. För detta har en ny arbetsroll skapats som bär ansvaret för processen. Den digitala marknadsföringen genererar främst möjligheter för relationsskapande med kunder, effektivitet, flexibilitet och personanpassad marknadsföring. Det har uppstått utmaningar kring ökad konkurrens, digital utveckling i samhället, spridning av incidenter och att detaljhandelsbranschen i Sverige ligger efter i utvecklingen. 

Studien identifierade likheter och olikheter kring hur detaljhandelsorganisationen arbetar med marknadsföring i sociala medier samt kundspecifik marknadsföring och att detta i sin tur påverkar organisationens hantering och struktur. Exempelvis framkom två olika informationssystem där både processer, system och deltagare skiljde sig åt för digital marknadsföring i sociala medier samt kundspecifik marknadsföring. Studien visade även att de största likheterna var att båda typerna av digital marknadsföring var effektiva tillvägagångssätt för att nå ut till kunder och båda alternativen tillämpade samma informationskällor för skapande och delning av material.

Abstract [en]

Digital transformation has led to increased use of digital technologies, this creates changes in society that can require companies to adapt new strategies to remain competitive. With a qualitative approach in the form of a case study, this essay examines how a company in the retail trade can manage, and is structured for digital transformation in marketing, and what opportunities and challenges this management and structuring has brought about current marketing in digital channels. Data collection took place via semi-structured interviews with various managers and an employee within the retail organization.

The results show how the organization uses digital marketing in social media and customer-specific marketing in E-mail. For this, a new role has been created that bears the responsibility for the process. Digital marketing mainly creates opportunities for relationship building with customers, efficiency, flexibility and personalized marketing. Challenges have mainly arisen regarding increased competition, digital development in society, the spread of incidents and the fact that the retail industry in Sweden is lagging behind in development.

Furthermore, the study identified similarities and differences in how the retail organization works with marketing in social media as well as customer-specific marketing and that this affects the organization’s management and structure. For example, two different information systems were identified where both processes, systems and participants differed for digital marketing in social media and customer-specific marketing. The study also revealed that the biggest similarities were that both types of digital marketing were effective approaches to reach customers and both alternatives applied the same sources of information for creating and sharing materials.
