When identity and image meet : A case study (English)
Abstract [sv]

I den här uppsatsen har en fallstudie genomförts för att ta reda på hur väl ett företags identitet överensstämmer med dess image. Företaget i uppsatsen genomförde år 2010 en nylansering av sitt koncept där de förändrade sitt sortiment, sitt utseende och vad de kommunicerade ut till sina kunder. Undersökningen genomfördes med intervjuer, en intervju med företagets VD och åtta stycken intervjuer med kunder till företaget. Intervjufrågorna fokuserades runt parametrarna prisklass, kvalité, målgrupp, servicegrad och kunskap hos personalen. Intervjusvaren användes sedan till att ta reda på företagets identitet och image. Identiteten och imagen jämfördes sedan för att se hur väl de överensstämde. Vi fick fram resultatet att företagets identitet och image överensstämde relativt bra. Kunderna och företagets VD talar om kvalité, textil kunskap och ett attraktivt sortiment. Det som skiljer identiteten och imagen åt mest är prisbilden, där majoriteten av kunderna fortfarande ser dem som ett företag med låga priser, mycket kampanjer och reor. Medans företaget anser sig ligga på en medelprisklass och inte vill förknippas med till exempel rea.

Abstract [en]

In this paper, a case study has been conducted to find out how well a company's identity is coinciding with its image. The company in the paper made a relaunch of its concept in 2010 in which they altered their line of products, their appearance and what they communicated to their customers. The study was conducted by interviews, an interview with company vice president and eight interviews with costumers of the company. The questions in the interview focused around the parameters price range, quality, target group, level of service and knowledge of the staff. Interview responses were then used to find out the company's identity and image. The identity and image were then compared to see how well they matched. We got the result that the company's identity and image matched relatively well. Both the customers and the company's vice president talked about quality, textile knowledge and an attractive range of products. What differentiate the identity and the image the most is the price level, where the majority of customers still see them as a company with low prices and who have many campaigns and sales. While the company considers itself to be at a medium price range and doesn’t want to be associated with sales.
