Problems of globally created communication campaigns and their usage on local markets
Šik, Stanislav ; Mikeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Dúbravská, Pavla (referee)
Práce se zabývá problematikou globálně vyvářených komunikačních kampaní a jejich následnou adaptaci na lokální trhy. Toto téma zkoumá z hlediska kulturních odlišností, jazykových bariér a geografických podmínek. Nabízí strategický postup tvorby kampaní, které budou používány na více trzích a také postup jejich adaptace. Problém nachází v nemožnosti dát jasnou odpověď na to, zda kampaně obecně vzato přizpůsobovat lokálním podmínkám, či nikoliv. Konstatuje, že rozhodnutí je potřebné učinit na podnikové úrovni, ve vztahu k marketingové a komunikační strategii.
