A study about foot scanning technology : How foot scanning is perceived by and can affect customers' return habits (English)
Abstract [sv]

I denna studie har användningen av fotskanning för att minska returer av skor köpta online och konsumenternas inställning till och kunskap om fotskanning undersökts. Fotskanning är en teknik för att skanna fötter. Efter att foten har skannats skapas en 3D modell över hur foten ser ut och den modellen används sedan för olika ändamål. Det området som denna studie har fokuserat på är online handeln av skor. Metoden som studien använde är blandad med en induktiv ansats. Empirin samlades genom en kvantitativ enkätstudie av konsumenter och en semistrukturerad kvalitativ intervju med ett företag. Efter datainsamlingen redovisades och analyserades resultaten innan en diskussion utfördes där slutsatser drogs i relation till forskningsfrågorna. Studien visar att fotskanning påverkar returer av skor positivt. Det blev färre returer med hjälp av fotskanningstekniken. När det gäller konsumenternas kunskapsnivå och inställning till fotskanning visar studien att de har en låg kunskap om fotskanning, men en vilja till att använda tekniken. På det stora hela visar fotskanning en stor potential i framtiden och med vidare forskning på ämnet kan studien användas som en indikation på om implementering av fotskanning i ett företag är nästa steg.

Abstract [en]

In this study, the use of foot scanning to reduce returns of shoes purchased online and consumers' attitudes towards and knowledge of foot scanning have been investigated. Foot scanning is a technique used for scanning feet. After the foot has been scanned, a 3D model of what the foot looks like is created and that model is then used for various purposes. The area that this study has focused on is the online trade of shoes. The method that the study used is mixed with an inductive approach. The experience was gathered through a quantitative survey study of consumers and a semi-structured qualitative interview with a company. After the data collection, the results were reported and analyzed before a discussion was carried out where conclusions were drawn in relation to the research questions. The study shows that foot scanning has a positive effect on the returns of shoes. There were fewer returns with the help of the foot scanning technology. Regarding the consumers' level of knowledge and attitude towards foot scanning, the study shows that they have a low level of knowledge on the subject, but have a willingness to use the technology. In conclusion, foot scanning shows great potential in the future and with further research on the subject, this study can be used as an indication of whether implementing foot scanning in a company is the next step.
