Tutti si recano al supermercato per fare la spesa, con maggiore o minore frequenza, ma ciò che accomuna tutti i consumatori è che tendono a spendere sempre di più di quanto pensassero. Per cercare di capire il perché di questa circostanza, l'indagine che segue esamina le principali tecniche di marketing che i supermercati adottano attualmente per aumentare il proprio fatturato. L'attenzione si sposta poi sul piano tecnologico, analizzando in che misura un settore come la GDO tragga vantaggio da queste tecniche. In seguito, si riflette sull'etica delle strategie adottate dai supermercati, per capire se entrambe le parti, azienda e consumatore, ne traggono vantaggio oppure sono il risultato di mere pratiche economiche. Infine, vengono presentati due casi specifici basati sulla mia esperienza di studio a Siviglia, un confronto tra Mercadona ed Esselunga, in modo da vedere quali sono le peculiarità e le differenze di ciascuno.

Abstract
Everyone goes to the supermarket to do the grocery shopping, with more or less frequency, but what is common to all consumers is that they are spending more and more than they thought they would. In order to try to understand why this is the case, the following investigation examines the main marketing techniques that supermarkets are adopting today in order to increase their sales. The focus then shifts to the technological level, analyzing the extent to which a sector such as the GDO benefits from these techniques. After that, we reflect on the ethics of the strategies adopted by supermarkets, to see whether both parties, company and consumer, benefit from them, or whether they are the result of mere economic practices. Finally, two specific cases are presented based on my experience studying in Seville, a comparison between Mercadona and Esselunga, so that we can see what the peculiarities and differences of each are.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
