Social media's impact on young consumer’s consumption. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Det bakomliggande syftet med studien har varit att undersöka sociala mediers påverkan på unga konsumenters konsumtion. Med en vardag, där sociala medier fortsätter att ta plats i takt med en dynamisk teknisk utveckling, är ämnet essentiellt för att förstå sambandet mellan unga konsumenters konsumtion samt sociala medier. För att genomföra denna studie och undersöka syftet, gjordes flertalet intervjuer av unga människor. Detta för att skapa en god bild av hur de unga konsumenternas sociala medieanvändning påverkar deras konsumtion. För att kunna skapa så bra intervjuer som möjligt, gjordes förberedelser i form av en intervjuguide. Genom att använda en utvecklad analysmodell, som låg till grund för intervjuguiden, kunde intervjuerna genomföras. Vidare analyserades datamaterialet och jämfördes mot studiens referensram. Slutsatsen av arbetet visar att sociala medier har stor påverkan på de unga konsumenterna i olika avseenden. Sociala medier innebär inspiration, attitydförändringar samt att nya behov skapas och aktualiseras, vilket bidrar till förändringar i unga konsumenters konsumtion.
