    “What Happened Ten Years Ago Is History, What Happened Last Year Is History, in This Industry It All Changes So Quickly”

    “What happened ten years ago is history, what happened last year is history, in this industry it all changes so quickly” Management Control Systems as a Package in the Context of Innovation by Petter Berg & Philip Johnsson May 2018 Master’s Programme in Accounting and Finance Supervisor: Rolf G. Larsson Examiner: Johan Dergård Abstract Seminar date: May 31, 2018 Course: BUSN79 Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Authors: Petter Berg & Philip Johnsson Advisor: Rolf G. Larsson Keywords: Management control, Innovation, MCS as a package, Target Costing, Sports retail industry Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to the context of MCSs supporting innovation. Further, the aim is to investigate how the MCS as a package can be modified to fit in the context of innovation. Methodology: A qualitative research approach was used, containing a literature review, an explanatory single-case study and limitations. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework is based on theories regarding the field of management control, innovation and target costing Empirical foundation: The empirical data consists of research conducted through a semi- structured interview with one case company in the sports retail industry. The empirical data also consists of previous research within the research area. Conclusions: This study finds that innovation of both incremental and radical character is present in the case of Stadium. Nevertheless, the radical innovation is dominant, with a locus of innovation from the day-to-day actions. The type of strategy and locus of innovation is supported by different MCSs. It is evident the MCS work as a package, where cultural controls and cybernetic controls are the major drivers in supporting innovation.

    Press Release 13 November 2017

    Press release 13 November 2017 Management changes in Cloetta Following the acquisition of Candyking, Cloetta’s Scandinavian operations have become significantly larger. The role as President Cloetta Scandinavia will therefore be divided into two roles, President Cloetta Sweden and President Cloetta Denmark & Norway. Christian Boas Linde has been appointed President Cloetta Denmark & Norway. He will report to Henri de Sauvage-Nolting, CEO, and be part of Group Management. He will assume his new role 1 January, 2018. Christian Boas Linde has been working at Cloetta since 2013 and is currently General Manager Cloetta Denmark & Norway. He has previously, among others, been working at Mars, PepsiCo, Heinz and Arla. Christian Boas Linde was born in 1968 and holds a Master’s Degree in Economics from Aarhus University. Lars Påhlson, currently President Cloetta Scandinavia, will implement the split of the business responsibilities between Sweden and Denmark & Norway. He has also after nine years in the position decided to retire during 2018. Until then he will continue as President Cloetta Sweden. A recruitment process to find a new President for Cloetta Sweden has been initiated. “The acquisition of Candyking makes our Scandinavian operations significantly larger, especially Denmark and Norway will grow in importance for Cloetta. Therefore, there is a need to split the role of President Cloetta Scandinavia. I am happy that Christian Boas Linde with his broad background from our industry and Cloetta, has accepted his new role”, says Henri de Sauvage-Nolting, President and CEO of Cloetta. “Already after the acquisition of Candyking this spring, Lars Påhlson indicated that he wanted to leave Cloetta when the new integrated Swedish organization had been implemented.

Snack food is one kind of those products in which impulse purchases occupy a particular significance in general and confectionery and nut snacks in particular. A lot of studies have been undertaken to exploring variables which affect consumers’ behavior in other industries. Yet still, a gap is unfilled in exploring consumers’ behavior towards confectionery snacks and nuts in convenience store settings. This study, therefore aims to fill this gap by exploring the role of three of those store associate (marketing) factors — store location; snack display; and customer service that affect the impulse buying of consumers in comparative case study companies (R-Kiosk’s and K- Market’s) retail contexts, Turku Finland. For the purpose of achieving this goal, this study focuses on how customer perceive these two convenience stores and which one they prefer over other to shop at.
