CHAPTER ONE
1.0
INTRODUCTION
This introductory chapter provides an insight into the research area, evaluation of 
companies who use ICT (information and communication technology) in their 
marketing. Brief discussion of the background to the research, problem discussion, 
overall purpose and justification of the study will be revisited. The outline of the study 
is also presented.
This research focuses on the evaluation and examining of selected companies in 
Ireland in relation to the use of the internet and mobile phones in information and 
communication technology (ICT) marketing. As a global developed market in europe, 
this will prove to be representative of other developed markets.
This thesis investigates the use of ICT in marketing in companies, the variations and 
combination of their use of ICT tools like, internet, emails, sms, mms and other 
methods they may prefer. According to Gourvennec Yann A., (1996, p. 3), “Marketing 
is a very broad ranging discipline which is undergoing radical changes. The approach 
that should be adopted by Marketing management in the 21
st
century is conditioned 
by the deep social and cultural changes that we are going through at the end of this 
century. It is also greatly impacted by the significant alterations of today’s business 
practices”.
In a world where change is constant and is also happening at a quickening pace, it 
seems fundamental to us that Marketing be placed within the big picture of strategic 
management. The
vision
for the future of the firm is central to this approach 
(Gourvennec Yann A., 1996, p3).
1.1
MOTIVATION, PURPOSE, AND JUSTIFICATION
According to Paulina, George and Nikolaos (2007), companies still fall short of their 
target, despite advancements in ICT marketing. Information and communication 
technologies (ICTs) like CRM, ERP and Intranet are considered important for creating 
competitive advantage. Despite their rapid deployment rates, only a few studies 
mainly from the information technology (IT) and engineering literature have been 
devoted in uncovering the factors that influence the diffusion of new information 
technologies and their proper use within an organization. Similarly, empirical studies 
regarding the impact of ICT diffusion and their proper use in organizations seem 
limited.
A research by Sarkar, Butler and Steinfeld (1995), indicated that the increasing 
popularity of the Internet as a business tool can be attributed to its current size and 
prospected growth, as well as its attractive demographics. The Internet's potential to 
provide an efficient channel for advertising and marketing efforts is overwhelming, 
and yet no one is really sure how to use the Internet for these activities.
Even in advanced economies, for example, Canada, mobile marketing is still an 
emerging technology (Kinetix Media Communications -

In an attempt to fill this research void, the proposed study would examine the 
implementation of ICT tools within marketing-related functions. By testing a number 
of hypotheses using empirical methods (questionnaires and interviews), the study 
would discover the
consequences of the use of ICT diffusion in these functions. The 
findings would provide another insight into the use of ICT tools in marketing as well 
as their impact on organizations.
Looking at the motivation above it becomes obvious that companies are still not able 
to practice - to a high advantage, the use of ICT in marketing. What the study seeks 
to see, is the use of ICT in the selected companies in terms of whether they use it 
basically/extensively or properly/improperly, which tool of ICT is used most ( internet, 
or mobile phones) and why, and the positive impact it has had on the value of the 
company in general.
The presence of IT in marketing is basically strong in the collection of information, 
statistics, market surveys, and executive information system and marketing 
orientated information system (M.O.I.S),(Yann A. Gourvennec, 1996).
Companies that will be investigated would include, clothing, food, financial and retail.
Based on the literature available, advice can now be given in areas of weakness as 
to the tools different companies use.
