Purpose The purpose of this research is to develop a framework that underlines the
areas that high-technology companies can work with in order to improve
their marketing communication of accessories.
Method The project has been conducted as a case study in combination with
explorative and problem-solving approaches for the different research
questions. The case study is a qualitative study based on interviews with
18 different stakeholders with insight to the marketing communication
and sales of accessories at Axis Communications.
Conclusions Existing literature offers little guidance for high-technology companies
who wishes to improve their marketing communication of accessories.
This study shows that there are good reasons for companies to evaluate
their work, and that is why a new framework has been proposed with the
intention to work as an inspiration and guidance for the companies who
want to improve their marketing communication of accessories.
Furthermore, a call-to-action plan has been created for Axis, which
contains concrete measures and improvement areas that has been
identified on the basis of the framework during the study. (Less)
