  • Conference paper
Proceedings of the 1997 World Marketing Congress

Abstract

The survey was conducted on the top 600 manufacturer, 300 service companies, and 60 bank and financial companies in Taiwan at 1996 about marketing managers attitudes and usage of the marketing information systems (MKIS), as well as the related users and organizational characteristics. The Results indicated that the group with higher perceived effectiveness to the MKIS spent more time, supported more marketing activities, and collected data from more various resources than the group with lower perceived effectiveness. Also, the results indicated that users education and marketing working experiences and organizational authorization impacted the usage of MKIS. Comparing the usage of MKIS in the USA and in Taiwan, we found MKIS would be more and more popular with increasing frequent users and customer data always were the most important content in the marketing database.
