Abstract
The working title of this
dissertation is “A Study from Cultural Perspective on Mobile Phone Manufacturers’ Marketing Strategies in China.” It tries to study the marketing strategies of domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers from the perspective of culture with the method of case study. The dissertation contains 6 parts. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the whole
thesis briefing the significance and structure of the research. Chapter 2 is the literature review including the marketing theory, culture and its Influence on marketing, standardization versus adaptation and Chinese culture. Chapter 3 is the methodology which describes the research methods for the primary and secondary data collection. Chapter 4 is presentation and analysis of the results, which firstly presents data collected from the research, and secondly analyses the data from aspects of the structure of the existing brands in China and domestic mobile phone manufacturers’ marketing environment. In addition, a discussion of the results is made from perspectives of relationships, the change of women’s role, ”face” factor and its implication for mobile phone consuming and aesthetics. Chapter 6 gives a conclusion to the whole research. The study indicates that domestic brands built closer relationships with dealers and customers by innovating channels and promotion strategies than foreign brands; mobile phones designed by domestic brands met the aesthetics of Chinese people better than foreign brands; the products design of domestic brands considered the change of women's role in China; the products of domestic mobile phone manufacturers took the face of Chinese consumers into consideration. Despite the large market share, domestic mobile phone manufacturers still face many difficulties. They need to go on taking deeper insights into the culture and develop more reasonable marketing strategies to regain their advantages. One implication from the current study is that when competing in the international market, mobile phone manufacturers should take cultural elements into consideration when they design and implement the marketing strategies. Only by this way can they gain their marketing aims.
