Sob o prisma da comunicação mercadológica, esse trabalho se propõe investigar o novo perfil de consumidor que, conectado a uma ampla rede de pessoas, influencia e até comanda diversas mudanças na forma de produzir e vender bens e serviços. A comunicação passa a ser mais horizontal do que vertical, pois os consumidores manifestam-se nas mídias sociais on-line e interagem com seus pares, e muitas empresas demonstram dificuldades em perceber o início desse crescente poder de manifestação do consumidor. O propósito desta pesquisa é investigar até que ponto os consumidores estão conseguindo ser ouvidos pelas empresas por meio das mídias sociais on-line. A metodologia aplicada foi o Estudo de Casos Múltiplos de empresas do setor de telefonia celular. Construiu-se um instrumento de pesquisa e, por meio de análise de conteúdo dos comentários coletados durante três meses nas páginas da TIM e da CLARO no Facebook, os resultados apontam uma dificuldade muita grande das empresas do setor de telefonia em ouvir os consumidores.

The area of public health because of its specific characteristics, presents major communication challenges. Communication strategies based on social networks have been widely used due to numerous benefits they present, as low-cost production and publication, flexibility and reach, among others. Social networks, blogs, chats, forums and other electronic relationship tools reach 86% of Brazilian population with access to the internet (more than 83 million people). Therefore, they are an important alternative to contemporary communication strategies, including those directed to encouraging organ donation. Even with more than three million donors registered in the Brazilian Registration of Volunteer Bone Marrow Donors (REDOME), the probability of finding a compatible donor outside the family is one in a hundred thousand. So, the gap between the need and the number of donors continues to increase. In this context, the general objective of this thesis is to analyze wether there is a relationship between the use of social networks (Facebook and Twitter), as a tool for marketing and communication, and the intention to register as bone marrow donors and how it occurs. To this end, the Organ Donation Model (MORGAN, MILLER, ARASARATNAM, 2002) was adapted and empirically tested. Thus, it was performed a descriptive and quantitative research. A survey, divulged by Facebook and Twitter, has been applied to a snow ball sample of users of these networks. The collected data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling method. Twitter was dropped because it returned only 4 answered questionnaires. It was found that the use of Facebook, as a tool for marketing communication, indirectly interferes with peoples intention to register as bone marrow donors (information exposure by Facebook explains 13% of knowledge variation and; knowledge, attitude and social norms explains 29,4% of intention variation). The results pointed to the empirical adequacy of the adapted model (AGFI=0,943; CFI=0,985; TLI=0,980; RMSEA=0,035; PNFI=0,704). Other relationships between the factors studied were proposed and tested. The main contribution of this thesis was MDO’s adaptation and empirical test. This contribution shall be considered relevant because it is the first model of willingness to donate bone marrow in the country and also the first to use communication through Facebook. As a suggestion for future studies, we propose the use of qualitative approaches in order to elucidate aspects that cannot be mesured through quantitative techniques. We also suggest the analysis of aspects that were not covered in the tested model, such as: religious issues, fear of death, fear of surgery, among others.
A área da saúde pública, pelas suas especificidades, apresenta grandes desafios em termos de comunicação. As estratégias de comunicação baseadas nas redes sociais têm sido amplamente utilizadas pelos inúmeros benefícios que apresentam, como relativo baixo custo de produção e veiculação, flexibilidade e abrangência, entre outros. As redes sociais, blogs, bate-papos, fóruns e outras ferramentas eletrônicas de relacionamento alcançam 86% da população com acesso à internet (mais de 83 milhões de brasileiros) e, por isso, apresentam-se como alternativa importante para as estratégias de comunicação contemporâneas, inclusive aquelas direcionadas ao incentivo à doação de órgãos. Mesmo com mais de três milhões de doadores cadastrados no Registro Brasileiro de Doadores Voluntários de Medula Óssea, a probabilidade de encontrar um doador compatível fora da família é de uma em cem mil e a lacuna entre a necessidade e o número de doações continua a aumentar. Tendo tal contexto em vista, o objetivo geral desta tese foi analisar se há e como ocorre a relação entre o uso das redes sociais (Facebook e Twitter) como ferramenta de comunicação de marketing e a intenção das pessoas de se cadastrarem como doadoras de medula óssea. Para tanto, o Modelo de Doação de Órgãos - MDO (MORGAN, MILLER, ARASARATNAM, 2002) foi adaptado e testado empiricamente. Assim, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva e quantitativa. Uma survey, veiculada pelo Facebook e Twitter, foi aplicada a uma amostra autogerada de usuários destas redes. Os dados coletados foram analisados pelo método da Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. Quanto aos resultados, o Twitter foi excluído da pesquisa por ter retornado apenas 4 questionários respondidos. Verificou-se que o uso do Facebook como ferramenta de comunicação de marketing interfere indiretamente na intenção das pessoas para se cadastrarem como doadoras de medula óssea (a exposição à informação pelo Facebook explica 13% da variação do conhecimento e; conhecimento, atitudes e normas sociais explicam 29,4% da variação desta intenção). Constatou-se a adequação empírica do modelo adaptado (AGFI=0,943; CFI=0,985; TLI=0,980; RMSEA=0,035; PNFI=0,704) e foram propostas e testadas outras relações entre os fatores estudados. A principal contribuição desta tese foi a adaptação do MDO e seu teste empírico. Considera-se esta contribuição relevante por se tratar do primeiro modelo de disposição de doar medula do país e também o primeiro a utilizar a comunicação por meio do Facebook. Como sugestão para estudos futuros propõe-se o uso de abordagens qualitativas para elucidar aspectos que não podem ser apreendidos nas técnicas quanti. Sugere-se, ainda, a análise de aspectos que não foram contemplados no modelo testado, como: questões religiosas, medo da morte, medo do procedimento cirúrgico, entre outros.

The Sanyi Old Mountain Line Railway is situated in an area with a high concentration of Hakka peoples. The development of the railway is therefore closely linked with the life of the local Hakka peoples. The historical and cultural connotations of the railway contribute to both the cultural identity and the development of the tourist industry, endowing it with a charm which is cross-regional and beyond ethnic boundaries. The marketing and promotion of Hakka culture, therefore, can be conducted through strategic integration of the railway culture and the natural ecology and scenery, thereby winning recognition and support from people of different ethnic groups. Considering the above, we try to probe in this dissertation the problems encountered by government and private agencies when promoting the railway cultural industry of the Sanyi Old Mountain Line Railway, for which we have adopted integrated marketing communication theory and considered the three key phases including marketing communication instruments, resources of the local cultural industry and stakeholders. The purpose is to work out a development model for integrated marketing communication efforts in the future. The research focuses on the stakeholders,. Through documentary analysis, in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys, we aim to work out a strategic plan for the integrated marketing communication of the railway cultural industry. From the important research, we understand that commercial activities surrounding the Sanyi Old Mountain Line center on railway culture, which, along with local Hakka culture, arts, landscape, and natural ecology, as well as peripheral commercial activities, develop into a closely-interrelated railway industry. Through the three key phases mentioned above, we can further develop a value-chain model for integrated marketing communication in accordance with the “Value-Chain Analysis Model” of Michael E. Poter. The model is built up on the basis of local Hakka culture, railway culture and the local ecological scenery, further supported by the three integrated phases of marketing/promotion instruments, local cultural resources and stakeholders, thereby creating outstanding marketing performance. The most important fact is that “culture” has been reckoned as the key value-adding element in the integration process.

The rapid increase in the expenditure on below-the-line promotions (consumer and trade promotions, direct marketing, sponsorship and public relations) relative to above-the-line advertising (television, radio, print, outdoor and cinema) in South Africa has earmarked a new era of integrated marketing communication strategies across all sectors. Ultimately, this strategic shift has brought about a need to better understand the relationship between above-the-line advertising and below-the-line promotions and to measure the impact of such changes on company sales/profits over the long-term. In the research undertaken amongst 250 senior marketing, brand and product managers of South African brand-owned companies, the relationship between above-the-line advertising and below-the-line promotions in the marketing of South African products and services was investigated across six different economic sectors. It was evident from the findings that most brand-owned companies currently integrate above-the-line advertising and below-the-line promotion activities. The study shows that most brand-owned companies in South Africa combine press, radio and television (above-the-line) with consumer promotions (below-the-line). The most frequently used above-the-line advertising medium is television, which is also seen as the most important mode to support long-term brand building amongst consumers. In turn, print is regarded as the most important above-the-line mode to support trade franchise building. Most frequently used below-the-line modes include direct marketing and public relations. Direct mail and cooperative advertising are seen as the most important below-the-line consumer and trade franchise building modes respectively. Although marketing communication expenditure is positively skewed towards above-the-line adverstising, most recent trends show a gradual increase in the use of below-the-line promotions. To prevent a brand's sales/profits from decreasing over the long-term due to too high below-the-line promotional expenditure, the study encourages a sound balance between above-the-line advertising and below-the-line promotions. Although the ideal ratio of above-the-line advertising to below-the-line promotions is related to the nature of the product and service being marketed, the extent of competitive activity in the market and the frequency of purchase, amongst many other salient factors, the study regards a 60/40 ratio as the most ideal for building long-term brands. On the other hand, a ratio of 35/65 is regarded as the critical point at which company sales/profits may deteriorate because of too high below-the-line promotional spending. In conclusion it can be said that the marketing communication industry of South Africa has entered a period of integrated marketing communication practices which requires sound marketing communication budget strategies conducive to the long-term survival of South African products and services.
