instruments and platforms to orchestrate their marketing endeavors (Karneli, 2023; Sutrisno, Ausat, et al.,
2023). These transformative innovations encompass a diverse spectrum, spanning from the vast realm of
social media and the expansive realm of online advertising to the intricacies of advanced data analytics (Ma-
hardhani, 2023). This dynamic infusion of technology into the marketing landscape has unfurled a vibrant
tapestry of fresh opportunities, enabling the realization of more efficient and laser-focused outreach strate-
gies tailored to target markets (Sutrisno, Kuraesin, et al., 2023). Furthermore, it has ushered in an era of hyper-
personalization, wherein consumer experiences are meticulously sculpted to resonate with individual pref-
erences, thereby culminating in a profound and lasting connection. In this era, the very essence of marketing
campaigns has been redefined, and their effectiveness has been amplified manifold, creating a fertile ground
for cultivating brand prominence and fostering deeply-engaged customer relationships that were hitherto
unparalleled.
The shifts in consumer behavior are a direct outcome of the profound influence of technology in their
daily lives (Hopia et al., 2023; Wikansari et al., 2023). Modern consumers are increasingly intertwined with
technology, affording them greater access to information, products, and consumer reviews (Dwivedi et al.,
2021). Within this context, consumers are redefining how they search, compare, and ultimately purchase
products or services. These transformations encompass a shift from offline to online purchasing, the substan-
tial impact of online reviews, as well as heightened expectations for swift and efficient delivery services. This
evolving landscape underscores the pivotal role of technology in reshaping the consumer journey, leading
to a dynamic and ever-changing marketplace where digital experiences and convenience reign supreme.
Personalization in marketing is a multifaceted and dynamic concept that has been profoundly
shaped by technological advancements (Chaudhuri & Holbrook, 2001). Leveraging the power of cutting-
edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robust data analytics tools, companies have un-
locked the ability to not only collect but also meticulously analyze vast troves of consumer data (Dwivedi et
al., 2023). This newfound capability empowers marketers to embark on a journey towards creating excep-
tionally tailored experiences for consumers. This encompasses a wide range of strategies, including the art
of finely honed ad targeting that ensures messaging reaches its intended audience with pinpoint accuracy.
Additionally, it extends to crafting personalized product recommendations, meticulously aligned with indi-
vidual consumer preferences, further enriching the overall customer journey.
Social media also plays a pivotal role in the evolution of marketing. It serves not merely as a tool for
engaging with customers but as a dynamic platform for brand cultivation and influencing consumer percep-
tions (Cheung et al., 2020). The impact of social media on purchase decisions and the influential role of users
have become subjects of significant research focus (Ausat, 2023; Rijal, 2023). Social media has transcended its
initial function of facilitating customer interactions, evolving into a robust channel for brand building and
shaping consumer sentiment (Azzaakiyyah, 2023; Ohara, 2023). Its reach and influence extend far beyond
what was once considered traditional marketing boundaries. Researchers have dedicated substantial efforts
to understanding the multifaceted ways in which social media shapes consumer behavior and informs pur-
chasing decisions. As social media platforms continue to evolve, they are proving to be invaluable sources of
insights into consumer preferences, sentiment, and trends (Appel et al., 2020). Brands are leveraging these
platforms not only to engage with their audience but to meticulously craft their brand narratives and position
themselves favorably in the eyes of their target market (Roggeveen et al., 2021). Consequently, the realm of
marketing is experiencing a profound transformation, driven by the ever-expanding capabilities and reach
of social media.
While technological innovation has undoubtedly ushered in numerous advantages within the realm
of marketing, it has concurrently given rise to a burgeoning apprehension concerning ethical considerations
(Lee & Jin, 2019). Among the pivotal concerns that necessitate meticulous attention within the marketing
landscape are the expansive accumulation of consumer data, the preservation of privacy, and the looming
specter of potential manipulation through the intricate web of technology. These multifaceted issues not only
merit comprehensive examination but also demand judicious and proactive measures to ensure the ethical
integrity of marketing practices.
The ever-evolving landscape of technology continues to usher in further transformations within the
field of marketing. Recent advancements, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and the Inter-
net of Things (IoT), have significantly enriched the array of marketing strategies available (Dwivedi et al.,
2022). Consequently, conducting recent studies on the impact of these technologies on consumer behavior
becomes increasingly crucial in comprehending the current marketing trends. These technologies not only
Technology and Society Perspectives (TACIT) Vol. 1, No. 2, July 2023, pages 94103
offer novel avenues for engagement but also necessitate an in-depth exploration of their ramifications on
consumer preferences and decision-making processes, underlining the significance of ongoing research in
this domain.
In this continuously evolving technological era, a profound understanding of the impact of techno-
logical innovations on consumer behavior has become essential for companies striving to maintain their rel-
evance and competitiveness within the ever-changing market landscape. The research project titled "Tech-
nological Innovation in Marketing and Its Influence on Consumer Behavior" is primarily focused on delving
deeply into the existing relationship between technological innovation in the marketing context and how
these changes affect consumer behavior. The primary objective of this research is to provide valuable and
practical insights for marketing practitioners while also serving as a valuable knowledge resource for busi-
ness researchers seeking to comprehend the complex dynamics between technology and the ever-evolving
consumer behavior.
2. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND HYPOTHESES
Technology Innovation
Technology innovation refers to the development, use, or implementation of new concepts, methods, devices,
or processes aimed at enhancing or changing the way existing work, products, or services function (Farida
& Setiawan, 2022). It involves the introduction of new ideas that have the potential to add value, improve
efficiency, enhance quality, or create significant changes in various aspects of human life, including business,
science, healthcare, education, and more (Azzaakiyyah et al., 2023; Said Ahmad et al., 2023). Technology
innovation can take various forms, including:
1. Product Innovation: This involves the development of new products or significant improvements to
existing ones. Examples include the launch of the latest smartphones with new features or the
development of new drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.
2. Process Innovation: This encompasses changes in the way a process or activity is performed to improve
efficiency, reduce costs, or decrease the required time. For instance, the implementation of automation
in manufacturing production lines.
3. Business Model Innovation: This relates to changes in how a business operates, including the discovery
of new business models that alter how a company generates revenue or delivers value to customers.
Examples include subscription-based models like Netflix or platform-based business models like Uber.
4. Organizational Innovation: Involves changes in the structure, culture, or processes of an organization to
better support innovation capabilities. It often includes efforts to encourage cross-departmental
collaboration and facilitate idea exchange.
5. Information Technology (IT) Innovation: Pertains to the development or implementation of new or
enhanced information technology, such as software, systems, or network infrastructure, to improve a
company's ability to process and manage information effectively.
Technology innovation plays a crucial role in driving economic growth, enhancing company com-
petitiveness, and creating solutions for social and environmental challenges (Xiao & Su, 2022). They can also
create new opportunities, transform industries, and influence lifestyle and societal interactions. It's essential
to note that technology innovation is not only about creating cutting-edge technology but also creatively
leveraging existing technology to solve problems and improve the quality of life.
Marketing
Marketing is a series of activities conducted by an organization or individual with the aim of promoting,
selling, or distributing products or services to consumers or potential customers (Wilkie & Moore, 2007).
Marketing aims to fulfill customer needs and desires while achieving specific business objectives, such as
increasing sales, growing market share, or brand awareness (Rizvanović et al., 2023). Here are some key
elements associated with the concept of marketing:
1. Understanding Consumers: Marketing begins with a deep understanding of consumer needs, wants, and
behaviors. This involves market research to identify market segments, analyze consumer behavior, and
understand customer preferences.
2. Product or Service: The product or service to be marketed must align with customer needs and wants.
This can involve developing new products, improving existing ones, or customizing products for specific
markets.
ISSN 3025-5104 S. Suherlan, M. O, Okombo: Technological Innovation in Marketing
3. Price: Determining the appropriate price is a crucial part of marketing. Pricing should reflect the product
or service's value to customers while generating adequate profits for the company.
4. Promotion: Promotion includes all forms of communication used to inform and influence consumers
about products or services. This includes advertising, sales promotions, digital marketing, public
relations, and more.
5. Place (Distribution): How products or services reach consumers is also vital. Efficient and effective
distribution, including selecting the right distribution channels and supply chain management, must be
considered.
6. Customer Value: Marketing focuses on creating value for customers. It's not just about making sales but
also about building long-term customer relationships, providing after-sales support, and ensuring
customer satisfaction.
7. Brand and Business Identity: Branding is the identity of a company or product that can influence
customer perception (Sutrisno, 2023). A strong brand can help differentiate products or services from
competitors and build customer loyalty.
8. Analysis and Measurement: Modern marketing involves using data and analytics to measure campaign
performance, identify opportunities, and make evidence-based decisions.
Marketing is not only about selling products or services but also about building brand image, nur-
turing customer relationships, and identifying new business opportunities. It is an integral function in busi-
ness and is crucial for a company's success and growth. Effective marketing can help a company identify the
right markets, reach relevant customers, and meet consumer needs effectively (Musumali, 2019).
Consumer Behavior
Consumer behavior refers to the actions, decisions, and mental processes undertaken by individuals or
groups of individuals when they consider, purchase, use, or dispose of products, services, or ideas (Andaleeb
& Latiff, 2016). The study of consumer behavior aims to understand how people process information, form
preferences, make purchasing decisions, and influence their interactions with the market (Roy, 2022). Here
are some key concepts related to consumer behavior:
1. Understanding Needs and Wants: Consumer behavior begins with an understanding of what consumers
need and want. Needs reflect basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter, while wants are more
related to individual preferences and aspirations.
2. Decision-Making Process: When consumers are faced with purchasing decisions, they go through a series
of steps. These include problem recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase, and
post-purchase evaluation. Factors such as price, product quality, brand, and previous experiences can
influence this process.
3. Social Influence: People are often influenced by others in their purchasing decisions. Social influence can
come from family, friends, online reviews, celebrities, or social media. It can affect consumer perceptions
of specific products or brands.
4. Cultural and Value Influence: Cultural values, norms, and beliefs also play a significant role in consumer
behavior. For instance, local culture, religion, or ethical values can influence product or service choices.
5. Perception and Brand Image: How consumers perceive a brand or product can significantly impact
purchasing decisions. Positive or negative brand image, brand reputation, and previous customer
impressions play a role in influencing consumer choices.
6. Customer Experience: Positive or negative customer experiences can affect consumer loyalty and
decisions to return to a particular business. Friendly service, product quality, and an easy purchasing
process are essential factors in creating a positive customer experience.
7. Post-Purchase Behavior: After a purchase, consumers may experience satisfaction or dissatisfaction
depending on how well the product or service meets their expectations. Customer satisfaction can
influence future purchasing decisions and whether consumers recommend a product or brand to others.
Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for companies and marketers because it helps them de-
sign more effective products, marketing campaigns, and sales strategies. By understanding the factors that
influence consumer decisions, companies can better meet market needs and build stronger relationships with
their customers (Ferine et al., 2023).
3. RESEARCH METHOD

without the need for primary data collection. By relying on existing literature, this research can make a val-
uable contribution to the development of theories, problem-solving, or decision-making in various fields of
science, particularly in the context of technological innovation in marketing and its influence on consumer
behavior.
4. DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
In this contemporary era, marked by the relentless and ever-accelerating advancement of information and
communication technology, the landscape of marketing has undergone a profound evolution, manifesting
itself as an exceptionally dynamic and formidable arena (Suherlan, 2023; Wanof, 2023). The relentless surge
of technological innovation has surged to the forefront, assuming the role of a paramount catalyst orchestrat-
ing a comprehensive transformation within the marketing paradigm. The ramifications of this seismic shift
resonate deeply, permeating the intricate web of consumer behavior. This all-encompassing phenomenon
has brought forth a multitude of novel challenges and beckoning horizons, beckoning both enterprises and
marketing professionals to embark on a transformative journey. Their mission encompasses not only the task
of engaging consumers but also extends to the art of wielding substantial influence over purchase decisions
and nurturing the cultivation of enduring and robust connections that stand the test of time (Sari, 2023).
Undoubtedly, one of the most remarkable and profound manifestations of technological innovation
within the realm of marketing is none other than the digital revolution (Radicic & Petković, 2023). This seis-
mic shift, powered by the relentless evolution of the internet, the omnipresence of social media, the ubiquity
of mobile devices, and the advent of cutting-edge data analytics, has not merely tweaked, but rather com-
pletely redefined the landscape of marketing. Within this emerging ecosystem, the contemporary consumer
experiences an era of unprecedented convenience and empowerment. They possess the remarkable ability to
access an extensive repository of information, an array of diverse products, and a multitude of services, all
at the mere click of a button or tap of a screen. In mere seconds, they can traverse a virtual marketplace,
comparing prices, delving into comprehensive reviews, and receiving tailored product recommendations. In
the midst of this digital maelstrom, consumer behavior has been subject to a profound and irrevocable trans-
formation, leaving an indelible mark on the marketing landscape (Wang, 2015).
One of the most striking and consequential transformations in the realm of consumer behavior re-
volves around the paradigm shift from traditional offline purchasing to the increasingly prevalent domain
of online commerce (Constantinides, 2004). In the contemporary landscape, consumers wield a remarkable
powerthe ability to embark on shopping journeys from the sanctuary of their own homes, transcending
geographical boundaries to explore the vast expanse of global markets without so much as rising from their
seats. This momentous transition has triggered a fervent and heightened competition within the e-commerce
sector, acting as a catalyst for traditional brick-and-mortar businesses to confront and navigate this trans-
formative tide (Ausat & Suherlan, 2021; Purnomo, 2023). As the once-clear demarcation lines between phys-
ical and digital retail continue to blur and overlap, enterprises across various industries find themselves
ISSN 3025-5104 S. Suherlan, M. O, Okombo: Technological Innovation in Marketing
standing at a pivotal crossroads. They are not only prompted but compelled to embark on a journey of inno-
vation, strategic reinvention, and substantial investments in cultivating a formidable online presence to main-
tain their competitiveness and relevance within the ever-evolving and dynamic commercial landscape.
Social media, too, has played a pivotal role in shaping consumer behavior. Platforms such as Face-
book, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have emerged as crucial arenas for brands to engage with their audi-
ence (Maitri et al., 2023; Tarigan et al., 2023). They have transcended their roles as mere promotional tools for
products and have evolved into dynamic spaces for brand awareness, customer engagement enhancement,
and the cultivation of communities intertwined with the brand ethos. The influence wielded by influencers
or influential users is another significant facet that exerts considerable sway over consumer purchasing de-
cisions (Chen & Yang, 2023). These influencers, who often possess a substantial following and credibility
within specific niches, hold the power to sway opinions, steer preferences, and inspire trust among their
engaged audiences. In this age of digital connectivity, the interplay between brands, social media, and influ-
ential figures has become a multifaceted force, driving consumer behavior in new and unpredictable direc-
tions.
Personalization has evolved into a cornerstone element of modern marketing, bolstered by techno-
logical innovations (Rathore, 2018). Thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics, companies are
now able to collect and analyze consumer data with unprecedented depth and precision. This capability
empowers them to deliver highly personalized experiences to their customers. Precise ad targeting and tai-
lored product recommendations based on individual preferences serve as tangible examples of how techno-
logical innovations have facilitated this era of personalization (Schreiner et al., 2019). In this age of hyper-
connectivity and data-driven decision-making, personalization transcends a mere marketing tactic. It has
become an integral part of forging deeper connections between brands and consumers, enhancing customer
satisfaction, and ultimately driving business growth. As technology continues to advance, the potential for
personalization in marketing is poised to further expand, ushering in a new era of tailored, individualized
experiences for consumers across the digital landscape.
However, these transformations also give rise to a set of challenges, and among the most pressing is
the issue of data security and consumer privacy. In the pursuit of gathering ever more data for refining their
operations, companies are compelled to take a highly serious stance on preserving the privacy and security
of consumer information. High-profile data breaches have triggered a profound erosion of trust among con-
sumers, serving as poignant reminders of the potential pitfalls in the quest for data-driven insights (Whitler
& Farris, 2017). As the information age continues to burgeon, the safeguarding of data privacy and security
is no longer a mere regulatory requirement; it has emerged as a critical component of corporate responsibility
and brand integrity. Businesses must tread a fine line, seeking to harness the potential of data while respect-
ing the boundaries and trust of their customers. Striking this balance is not just a matter of compliance but
an imperative for long-term sustainability and the maintenance of positive relationships with consumers.
It is paramount to bear in mind that technological innovation in marketing is not solely about the
evolution of technology itself; it encompasses the manner in which companies and marketers respond to
these advancements. How they seamlessly integrate novel technologies into their strategies, how they com-
prehend the evolving patterns of consumer behavior, and how they promptly address the evolving needs
and desires of their customer base are pivotal factors that stand to influence their success in this digital age.
The dynamic interplay between technology and marketing strategy has transcended mere adoption and now
hinges on the art of adaptation. Successful enterprises are those that not only harness the capabilities of
emerging technologies but also cultivate an acute understanding of the shifting consumer landscape. More-
over, they are astute in their ability to respond swiftly and adeptly to the evolving preferences and expecta-
tions of their customers. Thus, the path to triumph in this era of rapid technological evolution demands a
combination of technological acumen, consumer-centricity, and nimble adaptability.
Marketing has transcended its traditional boundaries, no longer confined to the realm of creating
creative ad campaigns or mailing brochures to customers. It has metamorphosed into an intricate art of com-
prehending the shifts in consumer behavior propelled by technology and, more importantly, how companies
can harness these technological innovations to curate value for consumers while maintaining their competi-
tive edge. In this ever-evolving context, the significance of in-depth research and understanding of 'Technol-
ogy Innovation in Marketing and Its Impact on Consumer Behavior' cannot be overstated. It serves as the
guiding light for marketing practitioners and enterprises navigating the complex currents of the digital era.
As we stand on the precipice of an age where every interaction is shaped by technology, the insights gleaned
Technology and Society Perspectives (TACIT) Vol. 1, No. 2, July 2023, pages 94103
from such research hold the key to steering marketing strategies toward achieving their objectives in this
brave new digital world.
5. CONCLUSION, IMPLICATION, SUGGESTION, AND LIMITATIONS
The conclusion drawn from this research clearly reveals that technology plays a central role in reshaping
marketing paradigms and consumer behavior. In the context of the ever-evolving digital era, these changes
have a profound impact on the dynamics of how companies interact with consumers, creating significant
added value and ensuring the enhancement and sustenance of their competitiveness in an increasingly com-
plex market. This transformation is not merely a fleeting phenomenon but represents a fundamental shift
that will continue to influence how businesses operate and engage with their stakeholders in the long term.
Furthermore, this has significant implications. Firstly, companies should prioritize personalized
marketing by harnessing data analytics and artificial intelligence to deliver a more individualized consumer
experience. Secondly, social media emerges as a crucial platform in modern marketing, and firms need to
understand how to leverage it to build their brands, engage with customers, and influence positive percep-
tions of their products. Additionally, safeguarding consumer data and privacy must take precedence, with
companies adhering to relevant regulations to maintain customer trust. Finally, marketers and marketing
professionals must develop their digital competencies, as a deep understanding of technology and data ana-
lytics becomes a highly valuable asset in contemporary marketing.
Recommendations stemming from this research include conducting further studies to delve into the
specific impacts of technological innovations on consumer behavior. Moreover, companies should invest in
the training and development of their employees to keep pace with technological advancements. This will
enable employees to better navigate market changes.
However, it is important to acknowledge certain limitations. Firstly, the rapid and continuous evo-
lution of technology means that the findings of this research may have limitations in terms of long-term
applicability. Secondly, the collection of consumer behavior data can be challenging and costly, potentially
affecting the depth of analysis in the research. Lastly, the research findings may vary depending on the in-
dustry, type of product, or specific geographic location, making them not universally applicable to all types
of businesses or markets.

Live streaming e-commerce has emerged as a novel online marketing model. Drawing upon influencer marketing theory, this study examines the mechanisms through which influencers (live streamers) promote consumers’ purchase intention in the context of live streaming e-commerce. A sample of 449 valid questionnaires was utilized to test the proposed theoretical framework. The empirical research findings reveal that customer experience significantly and positively impacts both influencer trust and influencer attachment. Furthermore, trust and attachment established with live streamers are identified as two effective mechanisms influencing consumer decision-making. Notably, influencer attachment exhibits a stronger influence on consumer purchase intention compared to influencer trust. By comparing the effects of Taobao and Douyin live streamers on stimulating consumption and purchase intention, the study demonstrates that live streamers play a crucial mediating role between customer experience and consumer purchase intention. Specifically, the results indicate that consumer purchase intention influenced by top Taobao streamers is stronger than that of Douyin streamers, whereas influencer attachment for Taobao streamers is relatively weaker than that for Douyin streamers. These findings provide theoretical and managerial implications for platforms and live streamers seeking to stimulate robust purchase intentions among consumers by fostering attachment relationships. The establishment of an emotional connection between the live streamer and the audience proves particularly valuable in increasing purchase intention. This research contributes to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving consumer behavior in the context of live streaming e-commerce. It emphasizes the significance of customer experience, influencer trust, and influencer attachment as key drivers of consumer purchase intention. The findings offer valuable insights for platforms and live streamers to optimize their strategies and enrich user data labels in order to enhance consumer engagement and stimulate purchase intentions. Ultimately, this research contributes to the advancement of the live streaming e-commerce field, strengthens the application of data elements in live streaming e-commerce marketing, and guides effective decision-making by industry practitioners.
