AI-powered IoT systems are revolutionizing how businesses approach international marketing and analyze consumer behavior. These systems collect real-time data from IoT devices like smart sensors and connected products, enabling companies to gain valuable insights into consumer preferences and market trends. AI then processes this data to identify patterns, predict future behavior, and optimize marketing strategies across different regions.
By integrating AI and IoT, companies can personalize their campaigns, target the right audience, and adjust their product offerings based on local consumer demands. This level of precision helps businesses make informed decisions and stay competitive in the global market.
As consumer behavior shifts, AI models continuously adapt, ensuring that marketing efforts remain effective and relevant. This approach not only improves customer engagement but also drives better ROI for international marketing efforts.

Answer
Dear Kazi Redwan,
In my opinion, IoT systems based on artificial intelligence are a revolutionary tool in international marketing, enabling companies to efficiently collect and analyze data on consumer behavior in real time. For example, according to a report by Statista, the value of the IoT market will reach $1.5 trillion by 2030, which shows the enormous potential of the technology. Integration of AI and IoT allows personalization of marketing campaigns, which contributes to a 10-15% increase in conversions. By tailoring strategies to local preferences, companies can increase the efficiency of operations and get a better return on investment, as evidenced by the fact that 80% of marketers see a significant improvement in performance with such systems. In the face of a rapidly changing market, continuous adaptation of AI models is key, as evidenced by data showing that as many as 65% of consumers expect brands to adapt their offers based on their unique needs and preferences.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology is significantly changing how companies approach international marketing and consumer behavior analysis. It enables personalization of marketing content, more effective data analysis and automation of market research. Examples such as Amazon and Canva show how AI increases customer engagement, improves the ROI of advertising campaigns and speeds up research processes. The use of tools such as chatbots and recommendation systems not only improves communication with customers, but also leads to increased satisfaction and conversions, as evidenced by concrete quantitative data.
The key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technologies are described in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT

The market of information and marketing services on the Internet is developing dynamically.
First of all, large technology companies, owners of information portals and social media prevailing on these Internet markets based their business concepts on the provision of information and advertising services through the websites of their online portals.
However, it is still possible to analyze the division of marketing instruments into traditional ones and implemented in new online media in correlation with specific types of advertising in particular types of media for products and services.
In view of the above, the current question is: What types of products or services are already advertised in your countries in new online media, including on social networking websites?

Dariusz Prokopowicz In my country, Iran, businesses active in the tourism and hotel industry are very active and successful on the web and social networks.
Along with this industry, the insurance industry is one of the most frequent advertisements on the internet and official television of the country. In fact, in both of the above cases, there are platforms that compare the possibility of online shopping and comparison between tourism and insurance services, and I mean exactly the many advertisements of those platforms.
And of course, Iran's largest online store called DigiKala.com has also recently been active on television in addition to the Internet and social networks.

To what extent do artificial intelligence technology, Big Data Analytics, Business intelligence and other ICT information technology solutions typical of the current Fourth Technological Revolution support marketing communication processes realized within the framework of Internet marketing, within the framework of social media advertising campaigns?
Among the areas in which applications based on generative artificial intelligence are now rapidly finding application are marketing communication processes realized within the framework of Internet marketing, within the framework of social media advertising campaigns. More and more advertising agencies are using generative artificial intelligence technology to create images, graphics, animations and videos that are used in advertising campaigns. Thanks to the use of generative artificial intelligence technology, the creation of such key elements of marketing communication materials has become much simpler and cheaper and their creation time has been significantly reduced. On the other hand, thanks to the applications already available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence technology that enable the creation of photos, graphics, animations and videos, it is no longer only advertising agencies employing professional cartoonists, graphic designers, screenwriters and filmmakers that can create professional marketing materials and advertising campaigns. Thanks to the aforementioned applications available on the Internet, graphic design platforms, including free smartphone apps offered by technology companies, advertising spots and entire advertising campaigns can be designed, created and executed by Internet users, including online social media users, who have not previously been involved in the creation of graphics, banners, posters, animations and advertising videos. Thus, opportunities are already emerging for Internet users who maintain their social media profiles to professionally create promotional materials and advertising campaigns. On the other hand, generative artificial intelligence technology can be used unethically within the framework of generating disinformation, informational factoids and deepfakes. The significance of this problem, including the growing disinformation on the Internet, has grown rapidly in recent years. The deepfake image processing technique involves combining images of human faces using artificial intelligence techniques.
In order to reduce the scale of disinformation spreading on the Internet media, it is necessary to create a universal system for labeling photos, graphics, animations and videos created using generative artificial intelligence technology. On the other hand, a key factor facilitating the development of such a problem of generating disinformation is that many legal issues related to the technology have not yet been settled. Therefore, it is also necessary to refine legal norms on copyright issues, intellectual property protection that take into account the creation of works that have been created using generative artificial intelligence technology. In addition to this, social media companies should constantly improve tools for detecting and removing graphic and/or video materials created using deepfake technology.
I have described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT

Many business companies in internet marketing collect and analyze comments, posts, entries, etc. from social media portals.
It is also done by some financial institutions, banks acquiring additional information about potential borrowers and insurance companies against possible conclusion of insurance contract. Commercially operating companies and financial institutions operate in this area on the border of the law on the protection of personal data.
Until this type of acquisition of information about potential customers is legally regulated, then commercially operating companies and financial institutions will conduct such activity. In addition, the issue of the security of this type of data about users of social media portals is of particular importance, as there have been effective cybercriminal attacks that resulted in the theft of personal data of users of social media portals.

I propose the implementation of research development in the field of Global Logistics with the use of new information technologies, ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0, including IoT technologies, cloud computing, Big Data Analytics, etc. The use of these technologies allows for shortening logistic chains and the development of e-logistics. These processes may be helpful in transforming logistics in the context of the current SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic. In addition, the research carried out can include the analysis of determinants of the transformation of traditional logistics towards sustainable green logistics. So I propose to take into account the above issues in future scientific research.

Dear Asem,
I´d say there are two basic problems with Internet Marketing, one is that data are not safe, Facebook will probably face some severe judicial issues in the near future. For marketeers it means that the cheap times for targeting people with facebook will be over. The other one is that accountability often is fake. You can measure everything on the internet, but you rarely know whether results can be trusted. Take four different analytics tools and you get four utterly different results. In Germany we have a renaissance of tv ads, because they pay back.

Ok, first thing is - why is it important. Let us look at the data - in terms of monetary values the sexually explicit contents in the digital media (that includes porn as well) is worth billions of dollars. And it is happening all around us. People are paying to watch these and also directly or indirectly these are in use in other media campaigns - many advertising contents are highly influenced by the sexually explicit contents.
Now the key question in terms of audience consumption is - why there is such a big demand for these explicit contents? Is it because there is a supply and that's why there is a demand? Probably no. There is a hidden demand and the web media has opened the wide platform to accommodate ample supply. There should be an anthropological connection in this scenario - it took ages for us, the Human Being, to learn how (and why) to wear clothes so that we are not exposed and now, the reverse is in demand - exposing. Why? Is it imposed? Is it natural? Is it influenced? Is it influencing?
Also, the cultural perspectives are important in this scenario. Although the demand for the explicit contents is prevailing across all the societies covering various cultural dimensions - the approach of acceptability and the mechanism of acceptance vary from culture to culture. Sexually explicit contents in the web media are consumed (as primary product) and also are used in other promotional contents (as secondary product) in all the societies as research shows - ranging from the West to the East. From less conservative societies to more conservative societies. It is important to figure out how the varied cultural perspectives influence the consumption and distribution of the contents. How to do that? I will develop a scale of theoretical measurement in this regard in my research in the near future. 
There are many other perspectives that are not only relevant but also extremely important to understand this trend of sexually explicit contents in the digital media. I have worked in the media sector including creative advertising for many years - also I am an academic researcher in this sector - I want to connect the dots in this regard - sociology, psychology, anthropology, comms/media theories, culture. The basic of communications models has a special place here including the one for ads - the flow of the origination of an analytical aspect to exploring the audience insights to content production/distribution to monitoring.

How people choose a hotel in cyberspace? whch factors are important?
Relevant answer
Answer
I think that different tourists have different algorithms. The most lazy go to tourist agency asking for organized trip. After some experience one can find that individual search allows sometimes to save money. Then one go for example to booking.com and get available hotels for chosen dates with prices. If one cares about prices, they can be listed in certain order. However, the cheapest may be too far from cultural center, or in bad neighborhood. That is why I usually take into account other factors, like map with relative location of hotel and touristic attractions.
People who are less restricted in costs may look at the hotel order by popularity index, that is based on opinion of previous visitors. I also look at that index even if I want to save on costs. For example, if we have 3 hotels with the prices $40, $45 and $50, but the one with $40 is 5 km away from center, and with $45 has valuation of only 6, I will choose one for $50 just in 1 km from center and with valuation 8 (of 10). So this is a kind of multi-criteria optimization. More sophisticated tourists can also look at room photos, wi-fi availability, etc. But selection can take much time, and many tourists rely on the opinion of their friends, for example.
Mojde, if you want to apply this for the development of tourism in Iran, I would suggest the following. Those hotels that have contracts with firms organizing foreign tourism, will get initial advantage. However, if they are overpriced or have some other disadvantage (bad location or quality), individual tourists searching on booking.com will build up indices reflecting real values of hotels. Those indices would correlate with opinions of friends (or a tourist) in the long run, and those highly valued hotels will have rising popularity.

Dear colleagues,
I am almost finished writing an article about Chinese sellers on Amazon.de or other European Amazons and the VAT issue.
I would kindly ask you to give me your opinions if you spot faults in my argumentation since the issue seems to be so clear and yet so difficult to verify.
According to Amazon: approximately 2 million external sellers use the platform of Amazon whereas sellers from Hong Kong and China have been growing 65% per year. Overall 40% of the total business of Amazon is done by third-party seller.
A Chinese seller (BestWe is one typical seller example) presents his products on Amazon.de and the webpage of Amazon.de says VAT included (MWSt. inkl.). The impressum of the Chinese seller does not show a European VAT identification number (although he could apply for one via MOSS).
So the customer buys from a Chinese seller on Amazon.de assuming that VAT is included (and declared). Nevertheless Amazon informs that Amazon only withholds VAT for their commission portion according to EU directive 1042/2013 and the rest is paid out to the Chinese seller.
In Europe, according to EU Directive 112/2006 for B2C product sales VAT shall always be declared in the country of the seller.
Letter shipment from Hong Kong to Europe is €1-2 for products like smartphone covers. Wholesale price in Hong Kong is way lower than €1 and sales price on Amazon €6-8
The Chinese seller has three options to deliver to the German buyer
1) Value incl. shipping less than €22 and shipped from China
Customs does not stop the shipping (for administrative reasons of low value) and the seller should declare VAT directly to the tax office on his own. It is free of import VAT but this does not mean it is free of VAT. And on Amazon it is shown with VAT so it has to be declared.
2) Value above €22 and shipped from China
Customs stops the shipping and either the buyer pays import VAT or it is returned or destroyed. A contradiction because the buyer has paid VAT according to Amazon already, the seller has received the whole value and has to declare VAT. And how then does the buyer get his original money back if he does not pay VAT to customs?
3) Seller uses FBA-Service (Forward by Amazon meaning that the seller stocks large quantities of a product at Amazon and it is then shipped from inside the European Union warehouses)
The seller pays import VAT on e.g. 1.000 smartphone covers but since they have not been sold, he declares import VAT on wholesale price and not end price. E.g. €1 value per cover instead of €8. When he then sells, the VAT on the €7 sales price difference has to be declared by the seller at that stage.
So what I see is a massive tax fraud for lower price products. In Europe every chewing gum sold carries VAT but here it seems to vanish somehow.
The question is now also how Amazon comes into this. One could claim that Amazon is somehow assisting tax fraud. Another arguement could be that Amazon is in violation of the European Union Directive 31/2000. It protects portal providers in Article 14 by defining that providers are not responsible for the content they host as long as they are not informed of its illegal character, and they act promptly to withdraw access to the material when informed of it. The obligation to react (in Germany within 24h) has been confirmed in a multitude of court cases. Therefore although Amazon is not responsible for the content created on their websites, they are responsible for the displayed information over time if they do not stop it. And this carries large financial penalties.
By the way, I have made test purchases for all three cases and in each case I was rejected an invoice showing the VAT - which I paid according to Amazon.de
Looking forward to your comments and guidance.

What technologies might change the relationship between commercial real estate managers? Which changes might happen in the B2B business of real estate managements?
Relevant answer
Answer
First, I hope that you are not equating "technology" with "information technology", as some of our American colleagues are prone to do.
When you say "digital technology", do you actually mean "information technology" or are you trying to address a wider range of technologies?
In my first attempt at a contribution, let me stick to a more narrow scope, that of "Information Technology" ("IT").
There is a wide range of commercial real estate management companies with big differences in product/service offering.
Generally, commercial real estate management companies are "information technology followers" and make no serious attempts to use IT as a customer satisfaction advantage or a competitive advantage.
If a real estate management ("REM") company would seriously weigh its strategic and competitive options, it would very easily see that they could use IT for -
- enriched (service) product content - the most potent use because people never cease to be curious, and interested in more information
- creating "information service products", independent of products where information is just a part or an enhancement
- optimize their own supply chain regardless if it is internal or external
- optimize their "production plant" i.e. the facilities which they manage to produce their core PRODUCT = ACCOMMODATION (the building is never the "product"! It is just the "production plant")
- reengineer their service products towards more self-service.
That's enough for a first take. I will be glad to continue to contribute to a discussion.

A lot of websites have great content. Among my favorites Hubspot ( I think they have a blog just on b2b) and Marketo.  A lot of content in our chapter came from Eloqua which has best practices pages for both b2b and lead gen.
We don't keep the marylouroberts.info site updated but it still has out direct marketing text, free chapter by chapter. I really believe that students need to under stand the direct marketing foundations of the Internet and chapter 11 in the DM book gives that background.

Are there concrete reasons for not including affiliate marketing and display/media into the framework? Usally the perspective on Online Marketing includes [SEO | SEM | Display | Affiliate| E-Mail | Social Media].
Excuding SEO from this perspective is reasonable for me, as input -> output is not as measurable and steerable as in the other channels. affiliate and display are quite similar to SEM/mail/SM when it comes to measure their performance.

Hi Maik
If I understand your question correctly, you are considering whether to include affiliate marketing and display/media into your framework. May I know what is the ultimate objective of the research in e-marketing? what is the end point/ dv / outcome that you want to measure? Perhaps by categorising the Internal & External factors related to e-marketing would help you to focus on the more prominent issues. 
Thank you

Question: "Can I block ads on Facebook or opt out of ads showing on my account?"
Facebook says: "If you don't want to see a specific ad, you can click the x on the top right corner of the ad and choose hide. This will ensure that you no longer see this ad.
You can't block Facebook ads entirely. Ads help keep Facebook free and we strive to only show ads that are relevant and interesting to you." (https://www.facebook.com/help/146952742043748)

I am interested in this topic but a little confused between these two terms.

Answer
Viral Marketing campaigns are usually run, managed and controlled by a company to spread message about its product/ service/offering. They are corporate managed affairs.
Whereas, e-word-of-mouth is an informal and inorganic way of spreading information among the consumer group where they share their personal opinion about their experiences with the product/ offerings where company has little or no role to play. These are usually voluntarily created by consumers.
The former is the controllable medium in terms of information and content shared while the later is consumer dominated and therefore, uncontrollable for the firm. Word-of-mouth marketing has an echo affect..
The other way of looking at them can be means and ends model i.e., Viral Marketing is the end while the eWOM is the means through which the message is diffused among the consumer.

I did back in 2005. I found that reading DeMente (2004) helps a lot in understanding Japanese culture. Since I studied anime, my literature included Poitras (1999 & 2005) which I also find useful in understanding most things Japanese.

Please provide your expertise on the more obvious publications as well as less traditional web presence (i.e., webpages, social media). What has worked for you and how did you implement it? How do you feel about press releases regarding research?
I'll note that my research is on medical students' perceptions of the health reform, so self-representation is a key component as I discuss findings on a national stage.

Dear Joel,
Its a very nice question. From my point of view I think there are many ways to be "unique" in your field (i.e. gaining a positive reputation), for example:
(1) Select ONE key area of expertise (2) Learn as much as you can from others who work in the same field (3) Explore ideas and add some novel contributions in your field (4) Co-operate with a well-know researchers in the field (5) Be a member is a well-know organization related to your field such as IEEE, IET, SPIE, etc... (6) Contribute in conferences related to your field and try to make audience remember/target you (7) Love what you do...
