Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich BWL - Handel und Distribution, Note: 1,0, Hochschule Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die zunehmende Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft wirkt sich auf viele Bereiche unseres Lebens aus.

Unter der Berücksichtigung und Einbeziehung des Retourenmanagements mussten die Onlinehändler die gesetzlichen Neuerungen umsetzen und wurden dabei in Bezug auf einige Aspekte vor Herausforderungen gestellt. Damit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Thematik zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt sowohl aus rechtlicher als auch aus praktischer Perspektive von hoher Relevanz. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich ihrem Titel entsprechend mit den gesetzlichen Neuerungen im Widerrufsrecht für Fernabsatzgeschäfte und der Umsetzung dieser Änderungen in die Praxis des deutschen Onlinehandels auseinander. Folglich soll zunächst herausgefunden und aufgezeigt werden, welche Gesetzesänderungen sich mit der Umsetzung der VRRL für das Widerrufsrecht konkret ergeben haben und welcher Handlungsbedarf dabei für Onlinehändler entstanden ist. Darauf aufbauend soll untersucht werden, wie die gesetzlichen Änderungen von den Unternehmen in die Praxis umgesetzt und in die bestehenden Strukturen ihres Retourenmanagements eingegliedert worden sind. Dabei soll besonders der Frage nachgegangen werden, ob in der Umsetzung der Regelungen branchenbedingte Unterschiede und Gesetzmä igkeiten zu e
