There are two approaches to addressing a problem when conducting research: qualitative research and quantitative research Qualitative research focuses on words and observations, including stories, visual portrayals, meaningful characterizations, interpretations, and other expressive descriptions In contrast, quantitative research is typically used to determine the quantity or extent of certain phenomena using numerical data Qualitative research employs a coded identifier to assist in checking and cleaning the dataset, while code responses logically include codes for non-responses, refusals to answer, and non-applicable situations.

Strategic research is the approach to conducting research effectively There are various research strategies; according to marketing statistics, the following strategies are often employed: Experimentation, Survey, Archival Analysis, History, and Case Study.

Archival analysis relies on secondary data collected by others for different purposes The challenge with archival analysis lies in the original intent of the data collection However, archival analysis can be effective if the current research purpose closely aligns with previous research objectives or if the current researcher has a solid understanding of the earlier studies.
Historical analysis is similar to archival analysis as both utilize historical data; however, historical analysis employs data collected for a different purpose A significant challenge in historical analysis is the issue of timeliness, which raises concerns about the reliability of the research.

The most appropriate solution for the problem is essential However, when the research purpose relates to a larger field involving many variables and objects in different areas, a case study is no longer sufficient, as it is considered a single observation.
To enhance the understanding of the IME Planning Process within the Vietnamese Automobile Industry, the relevant strategies for research include case studies and archival analysis.
The article addresses 16 problems related to the limited number of automobile ventures in Vietnam, highlighting that there are only over ten such initiatives Additionally, to achieve the research objectives, various strategies have been employed.
There are various sources of evidence for data collection, including observation, focus groups, in-depth interviews, projective techniques, grounding studies, surveys, documentation, market checks, artifacts, and archival records The primary research strategies are mainly case studies and archival methods, while appropriate data collection methods correspondingly include interviews, archival records, and documentation.

The design purpose becomes incomparable and unmatched when considering the IME planning process in Vietnam For a deeper understanding, samples can be taken from any company within the automotive ventures in Vietnam Additionally, it is important to note the relevance of master's theses and graduate papers from VNU in this context.
The automotive industry has six key ventures; therefore, there is no doubt that sampling meets statistical standards After considering research strategies and statistical standards, my focus is on GM Daewoo Vietnam-VIDAM and Ford Vietnam The average of sampling is strengthened despite the fact that both GM Daewoo Vietnam and Ford Vietnam are American automotive firms, since Daewoo originally was a Korean automotive company acquired by GM.
Daewoo Vietnam has been established for years, yet its management philosophy, including IME planning, remains largely unchanged following the acquisition The consumer sampling method utilized, as presented in the data collection method above, indicates that most consumer data is gathered by the two companies for the shared purpose of exploring consumer insights The consumer sampling referenced aligns with the objectives of the study, focusing on how IME is planned in the Vietnamese automobile sector To support the research purpose, it is also essential to examine the advertising industry in Vietnam and media firms Data analysis methods are crucial for this investigation.

Throughout various economic periods, people's perceptions of fundamental economic concepts have evolved, particularly in areas such as production, needs and wants, market dynamics, and marketing strategies Generally, marketing serves as a process to meet consumer demand in a meaningful way, especially when compared to that of competitors There have been significant changes in the perspectives regarding the role of marketing.
In the Simple Trade Era, families engaged in trading or selling their surplus output to local middlemen, who then resold these goods to other consumers or more distant middlemen This early marketing role, described as "Sell Surplus," remains a crucial aspect of marketing activities in less-developed regions of the world.

As production rises, competition intensifies as more companies strive to meet demand The focus shifts towards selling activities to outperform competitors and win over customers.
During the Marketing Department Era, all marketing activities are managed under the control of a single department When executed effectively, this approach enhances short-term policy planning by integrating and coordinating the firm's strategies.
Marketing in the current era emphasizes the development of long-range plans alongside short-run marketing strategies The overall company effort is guided by the marketing concept, with a strong focus on building long-term customer loyalty Companies in this era prioritize creating sustainable relationships with their customers to ensure lasting success.
The role of marketing has evolved over time, leading to various definitions that reflect different schools of thought Understanding the essence of marketing and its roles is crucial Below are some of the most popular definitions of marketing.
Marketing is a social process through which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want by creating, offering, and exchanging products and services of value with others Exchange involves acquiring a desired product from someone by offering something in return The exchange process must satisfy certain conditions: there must be at least two parties, each party must have something valuable to exchange, and this value must be recognized by the other parties Additionally, parties must communicate about the need and value of the deal.

Companies are increasingly focusing on building strong relationships with their competitors rather than solely on competing against them This shift in thinking is essential, as many organizations fail to recognize their competitors until it is too late It is crucial for companies to invest more in developing relationships with customers Relationship marketing aims to create long-term, mutually satisfying connections with key parties, ultimately resulting in a robust marketing network between the company and its supporting stakeholders.
The marketing mix (4Ps) facilitates the exchange process and the development of marketing relationships by thoroughly examining the needs and wants of customers It involves creating products and services that satisfy these needs, offering them at a retail price, and making them available through specific places or channels of distribution Additionally, it includes developing a program of promotion or communication to create awareness and interest The marketing mix is a primary tool for companies to position their brands and services effectively The fundamental task of marketing is to combine these elements so that they can engage consumers in the marketplace Ultimately, the marketing mix provides the most appropriate answer to the question of how to satisfy consumers better than competitors.

Eпເ0diпǥ is the mental process of transforming an idea into a format that can be easily communicated to others The challenge for marketers is not only to describe a product's benefits in a clear and persuasive manner but also to do so in a way that captures attention and makes the decision-making process as simple and enjoyable as possible for the target audience.
Message is the encoded idea, represented by a set of symbols that are transferred from a source to receivers through a communication channel Both the message and channel can be affected by interference and disruption known as noise During the process from encoding to decoding, noise can distort the message, making it different from the original intent.

In 1992, Wells, Burnett, and Morganti defined marketing communication as "the mechanism for communicating information to consumers." Similarly, Kelleher reiterated this definition in 2001, describing it as "the means by which firms attempt to inform, persuade, entice, and remind consumers—directly or indirectly—about the brand they sell." A third definition emphasizes that marketing communication "activities that communicate the merits of the product and persuade target customers to buy it" (Kottler and Armstrong).
Marketing communication is a core activity that helps firms deliver messages to consumers effectively The major objectives of marketing communication are to inform, persuade, and engage the target audience.
Promotional Mix is a key component of marketing communication, serving as an alternative term for marketing communication strategies As highlighted in section 2.1.5 of the article, the Promotional Mix is one of the elements of the Marketing Mix (4Ps) that collectively target a larger market The Promotional Mix encompasses several major tools, including Advertising, Personal Selling, Public Relations, and Publicity, as well as Direct Marketing and Sales Promotion.

For many years, the promotional function of most companies was dominated by mass media Advertising played a key role in nearly all areas of marketing communication As competition intensified, the fragmentation among consumers and the inherent disadvantages of advertising became apparent Marketers recognized the need for additional tools to maximize communication impact by providing their customers with a clear, consistent message about their companies' images, products, and services.
Additional tools were utilized to explore the synergy among various promotional tools, often referred to as non-advertising tools Advertising agencies have not only provided advertising services but also offered other promotional services, treating them as separate businesses with distinct budgets and strategies Marketers recognize the importance of integrating various communication functions rather than operating them autonomously By coordinating their marketing communication efforts, they can avoid duplication, leverage the strengths of different communication tools, and develop more efficient and effective marketing communication programs to maximize return on investment Consequently, in 1993, Schultz, Tannenbaum, and Lauterborn introduced a new concept called Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) IMC is defined as a comprehensive communication planning approach that acknowledges the added value of a cohesive plan, evaluating the strategic role of a variety of communication disciplines, such as general advertising, direct response, sales promotion, and public relations, to provide clarity, consistency, and maximum communication impact.

Integrated marketing has become the approach of choice for most large global marketers According to marketers, the shift towards integration has been driven by the fragmentation of media usage, the rapid emergence of the Internet as a viable marketing channel, and the ever-increasing pressure for marketers to demonstrate a return on marketing investment.

The Translation Stage for integration is the most common form of integrated marketing today This stage focuses on delivering a consistent message and visual identity across marketing channels, with branding as its primary goal With the advent of the Internet, the Translation Stage has expanded beyond consistent messaging and visuals to include tactics such as incorporating a URL in a print or TV ad This stage of sensory and messaging integration across channels aims to reinforce the desired message and the campaign's brand.
The Expansion Stage of integration utilizes secondary channels, such as web and direct marketing, to extend a theme from a primary channel like TV or print This process is driven by the core attributes of the chosen medium, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the marketing strategy.
The primary goal of the Expansion Stage is to engage users with the brand for an extended period and to collect data about their usage This information will enable future re-engagement and outreach efforts to be more targeted and relevant The main focus of the first two stages of integration is to coordinate elements effectively.
In the marketing landscape, larger audiences have more choices due to the proliferation of media outlets and possess greater power to avoid advertisements through spam filters, ad-blocking software, and on-demand video services Consequently, reaching these audiences through consistent messaging across various mediums is essential, yet it may not be sufficient to maintain attention or ensure brand preference.
The next evolution of integration, or orchestration, aims to address the issue of creating coordinated, sequenced communications where each channel plays a distinct role in guiding the customer journey as intended The difference between this stage and the prior two is that with orchestration, the marketer utilizes each integration to build toward a larger goal The focus shifts from mere consistency or even expansion to the notion of a journey where a clear destination exists, and a dialogue with successive communications, based on responses, develops.

The concept of IME was officially defined by scholars Schultze, Tannenbaum, and Lauterborn in 1993 However, prior iterations of IME and early applications have existed for years.
Currently, there are no official definitions of Integrated Marketing in the automotive sector Integrated marketing communication in automotive is a process that encompasses comprehensive and meaningful marketing activities that effectively convey the messages of automotive firms and their responsible subsidiaries to current and potential consumers The goal is to raise awareness, maintain or change brand image, persuade for buying actions, and foster customer loyalty.

The automotive industry in the United States began in 1896 with the introduction of the first car, the Duryea, followed by several manufacturers including Oldsmobile, Ford, Pierce, Maxwell, Locomobile, and Baker Electric Prior to this, a few cars had been imported from Europe, where production started in 1886 by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler Early automakers faced the challenge of convincing consumers that automobiles were a significant improvement over horse-drawn carriages, which were their main competition Consumers sought reliable, safe, and cost-effective alternatives to horses, whether powered by gasoline, steam, or electricity A pivotal moment occurred in 1908 when Henry Ford launched the Model T, alongside William Durant's General Motors Ford's Model T was known for its toughness, reliability, and affordability, marking a significant milestone in making automobiles accessible to the masses in the United States and around the world.

Between 1909 and 1927, the Model T outsold all other brands combined During this period, many other companies emerged and thrived, including GM, the Dodge Brothers, Hudson, Nash, Hupmobile, Auburn, Studebaker, Willys, Stutz, Packard, Peerless, Pierce-Arrow, and countless others.
The competitive landscape for advertising has evolved significantly since the period of 1927-1941, where companies primarily focused on promoting horse-related products As the market shifted, the competition expanded to include automobiles, reflecting a broader range of consumer interests Today, advertisements emphasize themes of stress relief, value, aspirations, and imagery, showcasing a transformation in marketing strategies that resonate with modern audiences.

From 1942 until 1945, the American automotive industry played a crucial role in the eventual victory of the Allies during World War II Manufacturers produced a wide array of military equipment, including tanks, bombers, artillery shells, guns, ammunition, Jeeps, machine guns, bomb sights, aircraft engines, and thousands of other products for the military Advertising efforts were aimed at keeping familiar names in the public eye and maintaining interest until the resumption of civilian production after the war Additionally, these campaigns highlighted the industry's significant contributions to the war effort and its pivotal role in achieving victory.
After the war, Detroit entered a golden age, becoming the greatest sellers' market of all time Millions of returning servicemen desired cars, and Detroit provided them with powerful vehicles covered in chrome The design was influenced by the combat aircraft of World War II, particularly the P-38 fighter plane, and the 1948 Cadillac set a new standard in automotive styling Before the 1959 model year, tailfins soared to gigantic proportions, and critics branded Detroit's products as "insolent chariots." However, Americans loved them, and most of the millions of cars sold in the 1950s were American-made.
Advertising targeted self-satisfied family values, appealing to marketers who aimed to reach every family This approach was significant enough to attract attention from everyone wanting to experience the essence of the U.S.A.

In the 1960s, automotive marketers recognized the influence of youth culture, leveraging the vibrant and powerful image of muscle cars to create lasting brand loyalty These young buyers, however, proved to be less loyal than anticipated, as the muscle car era transitioned into a period marked by the rapid growth of imported vehicles, which introduced different values to the market During this time, automotive advertising entered a new phase, where full-color photography became more prominent than traditional artwork.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a new trend emerged in society as women and minorities adopted new roles, leading to a shift in cultural values This period saw a focus on hedonic values, with automobile advertising increasingly highlighting these attributes through sharp portrayals of lifestyle The value of life became a central theme in marketing, necessitating effective communication of the underlying arguments The term "unique selling proposition" gained prominence, emphasizing the advantages of products over their competitors.
Since the 1990s, the evolution of IM has been supported by advancements in information technology and mass media, prompting marketers to seek new ways to engage with consumers Consequently, the significance of marketing tools has been seriously reconsidered (This will be further discussed in Chapter 3.)

The future of Integrated Marketing (IM) is to coordinate various promotional elements with other marketing activities, enabling firms to communicate effectively with their consumers at a specific cost While there are different schools of thought regarding the IM planning process, the approach outlined below is based on the marketing theory of Philip Kotler This process includes several key steps:

Identifying the target audience of an IM campaign is crucial for effectively conveying the firm's message This audience may include end users, intermediaries, partners, government entities, and competitors, all of whom are considered stakeholders IM planners must define specific target audiences to enhance communication impact and optimize media costs A more precise audience leads to greater communication effectiveness and reduced media expenses Additionally, understanding the target audience involves evaluating their perceptions of the campaign, the product, and the competitive landscape.

Some people confuse marketing objectives with marketing communication objectives Marketing objectives are tied to marketing and economic strategies, while the common denominator of marketing objectives usually involves sales or market share For instance, within half a year, sales may reach 1 billion, positioning the firm as a market leader in the luxurious sedan segment Marketing objectives are determined based on the firm's marketing strategy after considering various factors and analyses, including macro analysis, industrial analysis, and assessments of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, as well as competitive advantages In contrast, marketing communication objectives are aligned with marketing strategies.
The dominant theme of marketing communication is the consumer's perception, which typically encompasses their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors For instance, a master's thesis from VNU may explore these aspects in depth.
In the next six months, the firm will announce a new brand of Ford Focus aimed at one million target consumers in key cities Overall, marketing communication objectives are derived from marketing objectives.

The behavioral effect is expected to change consumer behavior and decision-making, and it is much easier to achieve through communication effectiveness than through behavioral effectiveness Behavioral effectiveness functions as "persuading" rather than "informing" when firms aim to change consumers' behaviors, particularly as they look for their final decisions related to trial, requests, or purchases.
The AIDA model is a framework used to describe and evaluate the process of making a buying decision, consisting of four stages: Awareness, Interest, Desire, and Action Initially, consumers become aware of products and services; subsequently, they develop a slight interest in them As their interest grows, they begin to desire these products and services, ultimately leading to a purchase An alternative to the AIDA model is the Behavioral Sequence Model, which is also commonly utilized by marketers.
Messages are encoded ideas that brands want to communicate with their audiences They should be crafted in one or two short sentences that are easy to remember, ensuring clarity in conveying the marketer's intent while aligning with the audience's values, culture, psychology, and the relevant time and space context Key considerations in designing messages include content, structure, format, and source.

Audiences are fragmented, and they receive information from various sources, which can lead to complex and inconsistent messages Different elements such as images, slogans, and articles contribute to a brand's or campaign's identity When these pieces are effectively integrated, they create a clear and cohesive image for the brand or campaign, enhancing message strength and clarity.
Different messages are conveyed through various tools for distinct audiences, making communication processes complex Each factor presents its own advantages and disadvantages Strength is achieved by combining advantages and eliminating drawbacks.
