- Abstract

We want to find out which of these elements leads to the best results. We chose to make use of a case study to examine Carlings actions in depth. The theoretical data, consisting of books and articles, have been proved or disproved trough interviews and observations of Carlings stores. In conclusion, we have found that Carlings way to motivate the staff but also to invest money on kickoffs and staff meetings is the most favorable for their success. The money they save on direct marketing is also good for their brand identity since the rock culture does not go hand in hand with traditional advertising. It also contributes to the employee’s joy to come to work, they feel essential, that they can climb in the company and get different kinds of rewards for it. This makes the management happy of the good results and can give even more back to the employees. The employees are happy and radiate a good personality, while providing customers good service. Who could imagine that Carlings could beat all giant chain’s profitability in Sweden two years in a row and it bottomed in something as simple as win-win-win? (Less)
