Institute of Marketing Communication
Our Research Strategy
The Institute of Marketing Communication at National Sun Yat-sen University integrates three fields to cultivate communication talents with management expertise: 1) media technology, 2) marketing and communication, and 3) society and culture. The Institute continuously develops in response to the needs of the times and to the challenges of technological advances and industrial liberalization, while emphasizing humanistic training in planning, thinking, analysis, and creativity and taking into account both theory and practice. In addition, the Institute combines marketing and communication management concepts with emerging social marketing and digital marketing techniques to expand the academic field of marketing and communication and to train marketing professionals with communication management knowledge to meet the development needs of corporations, governments, and nonprofit organizations in response to the current trends. Therefore, the three core areas of media technology, marketing and communication, and society culture are given priority in both research directions and faculty recruitment.
