Sammendrag
The core of this thesis is to explore how shopping malls in Norway are facilitated

for handling container deliveries. The purpose of this investigation is to identify

whether retail companies in Norway can benefit from a solution where imported

goods are delivered directly out to the stores at shopping malls, without moving

through a distribution center in Norway.

In the first part of our thesis we will provide background information that explains

the relevancy of the study. Based on this information we elaborate for the

objective of the study which results in our research question, which is formulated

as follows:

“How are shopping malls in Norway facilitated in relation to handling container

deliveries, and how would such an arrangement affect logistics costs and

flexibility for the goods owners?”

We have chosen a multiple case study as our research strategy because we are

dealing with a phenomenon that is relatively new in a real life context. Two cases

are applied in order to identify how shopping malls in Norway are facilitated with

regard to handling container deliveries. These cases are the shopping malls AMFI

Moss and Strømmen Storsenter. In addition, we have chosen to look at four retail

companies in the clothing industry when identifying the interests of the goods

owners. The data in this study was collected through interviews and observations

as primary sources in addition to different sources of secondary data.

Our findings show that both our chosen shopping malls are able to handle

deliveries of containers, even though Strømmen Storsenter is better facilitated

than AMFI Moss. In addition, our findings prove that there is a potential for cost

savings if the goods owners utilize the possibility of container deliveries to

shopping malls in Norway.

In the last section of this paper we present the limitations of our study. These

limitations are the basis for our suggestions for future research.
