Description of the research topic:

Digital marketing is the key area of Kotler’s Marketing 4.0, the latest approach to marketing. Marketing 4.0 represents a paradigm shift in marketing science as the dominant value-driven approach is further developed and beyond, focussing on connectivity, and is therefore called a "Linked" or “Connectivity” Marketing Approach.
The impact of interconnection can be described by keywords such as horizontal, inclusive, and social instead of vertical, exclusive, and individual due to the disappearance of geographic, demographic barriers, interconnected, directly communicating people, and co-innovating companies.
In the era of Marketing 4.0, customers are increasingly behaving horizontally - customers are becoming increasingly cautious about marketing communication of brands, increasingly focusing on f-factors (friends, families, fans, and followers) – and the buying process is increasingly becoming social with reviews online and offline.
Digital marketing has a significant impact on society. Digital society has now emerged, and digital consumption has become more common. The main goal is to examine the features of digital culture and society, especially the digital / online consumption and trade, through the focus of marketing.
The most important research topic is that how Digital Marketing, ie “Connectivity” Marketing, transforms marketing focus, how it promotes the paradigm shift in marketing, and what changes induce it in marketing strategy and its implementation.
The most important research questions and focuses:
