Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur digitaliseringen har påverkat företagskunders affärsrelation till banken, samt att identifiera faktorer som kan bidra till att bygga och bevara långsiktigt lönsamma kundrelationer. I inledningen behandlades tidigare forskning, där det konstaterades att banker behöver utveckla en bättre förståelse för sina kunder för att behålla lojala kundrelationer, samt att det fanns ett intresse för vidare studier av digitaliseringens påverkan på relationen mellan banker och dess kunder, från kundens perspektiv. En kvalitativ forskningsdesign användes genom studien då företagskunders upplevelser var den data som som avsågs att samlas in. Datainsamling gjordes genom 15 kvalitativa intervjuer med personer som har varit aktiva företagskunder under hela den studerade perioden, från 2013 till 2023. Frågorna som ställdes till respondenterna var framtagna med stöd från studiens teoretiska referensram. Det teoretiska kapitlet behandlade resultat från tidigare forskning och teorier inom studiens centrala områden: Företagskund, Bank, Digitalisering, Kommunikation och Affärsrelation. En tematisk analys valdes för att analysera insamlingen av den kvalitativa datan tillsammans med det befintliga teoretiska ramverket. Den tematiska analysen utgick från det teoretiska ramverkets struktur där den presenterade teorin i kombination med de empiriska resultaten, resulterade i en presentation av hur de valda ämnena relaterade till varandra. Studien mynnade ut i slutsatsen att digitaliseringen upplevs ha formaliserat affärsrelationen mellan bank och företagskund. Det kunde också konstateras att digitaliseringen har lett till en ökad priskonkurrens inom bankbranschen för segmentet företagskunder.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to describe how digitalization has affected the business relationship between corporate customers and banks, as well as to identify factors that can contribute to building and maintaining long-term profitable customer relationships. The introduction addressed previous research, which acknowledged that banks need to develop a better understanding of their customers to retain loyal customer relationships. Previous research had also expressed an interest in further studying the impact of digitalization on the relationship between banks and their customers from the customer's perspective. A qualitative research design was utilized in this study as the experiences of corporate customers were the data intended to be collected. Data collection was done through 15 qualitative interviews with individuals who had been active corporate customers of banks throughout the studied period, from 2013 to 2023. The questions presented to the respondents were based on this study’s theoretical framework. The theoretical chapter presented results from previous research along with theories within the studied area of Corporate Customer, Bank, Digitalization, Communication and Business Relationship. A thematic analysis was chosen to analyze the collected qualitative data along with the existing theoretical framework. The thematic analysis was based on the structure of the theoretical framework, where the presented theory in combination with the empirical results resulted in a presentation of how the selected subjects relate to one another. The study concluded that digitalization has formalized the business relationship between banks and corporate customers. It could also be determined that digitalization has led to increased price competition within the banking industry for the segment of corporate customers.
