Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how e-commerce trends in technologically advanced economies interplay with the market and organizations in packaged food retailing.
Methodology: A qualitative multiple-case study with cross-cultural components has been designed. Furthermore, a mix of deductive and inductive research approaches have been applied. The main data used is collected from in-depth interviews with representatives from different actors in the e-commerce and packaged food industry. Beyond the interviews, secondary data is utilized for additional perspectives.
Theoretical Perspectives: The thesis is based on e-commerce and business model theory. A theoretical framework is created by fusing the two theories to map business factors that require special focus in e-commerce environments.
Contribution: Concludingly, there is relevance for firms to adapt the business model to e- commerce trends. There are certain aspects requiring particular consideration which are identified and presented. This study contributes to the status quo research in combining e- commerce and business models. (Less)
