Kommers utav konceptuell höjd - varför finns ett svenskt modeunder men ingen som håller koll på tiden

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study was to examine two relatively similar product industries, of which one is successful in its commercialization and the other one is not successful. The two industries observed in this paper are both Swedish industries, and both of them produce slow moving consumer goods for the luxury consumer. The successful industry is represented by the Swedish fashion industry, more precisely The Swedish Fashion Wonder (TSFW) - a term describing the success of a specific coalition of fashion designers from Sweden. The unsuccessful industry is represented by the luxury watch industry in Sweden (LWIS). The method used to examine the two industries' inequalities is based on a qualitative study, consisting of in-depth interviews with industry expertise from both of the industries. The interviews are semi-structured, based on a framework of empirical observations from TSFW. The results show that although many subjects within this study are abstract, they together form a small set of conclusions that indicate some fundamental errors conducted by the LWIS. The three fundamental conclusions from this study are 1) the LWIS separates itself substantially from TSFW in terms of cultural capital 2) The awareness of the LWIS amongst the Swedish people are critically low 3) The LWIS have not explored the possibilities of marketing communications through on-line channels, whilst it's described as one of the biggest influences for the success of TSFW.
