The findings will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of IT-driven marketing strategies, the changing consumer behavior, and the challenges faced by marketers in leveraging IT for competitive advantage. The results will assist marketers, businesses, and policymakers in formulating effective marketing strategies that align with the technological advancements and consumer trends in Hong Kong.
