Cultural Differences In Television Advertising Part 4<\/h2>\nCultural Differences In Television Advertising Part 4<\/h2>\nINFORMATION CUES 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Other researchers focused more narrowly on the information content, rather than the appeals as a whole, in advertising. Information cues in advertising are generally understood to relate to pieces of information relating to the product or service that is being offered, the content in which the product is used or consumed is generally disregarded. A major tool for research focusing on information content is the Resnick-Stern Content Classification System (Stern, Dean & Resnick, 1981).<\/p>\n Information cue research, such as Weinberger and Spotts (1989) or Maenaka, Miracle and Chang (1991), count either the total or the unique number of information cues presented in commercials.<\/p>\n Clearly, this type of research is far more limited in its approach, as it is more concerned with the product attributes that are displayed, rather than the entire message. It is however quite useful in order to evaluate the \u201cdirectness\u201d of advertising, and as such can be related more evidently to Hall\u2019s high context\/low context concepts, rather than to broader based cultural dimension concepts, such as Hofstede\u2019s dimensions as a whole.<\/p>\n If counting the information cues present in advertising, a large number may suggest a low context society, whereas a low number would possibly suggest a high context culture. However, the number of information cues may equally be related to uncertainty avoidance, as it seems plausible, that in a largely risk averse culture the consumer may want to have more information about a product than in a less risk averse culture, as suggested by Usunier, 1999.<\/p>\n In comparison with Pollay based research, this type of research is not suitable for research into values, however it is far more differentiated in respect to the information content that is provided, and what product attributes are explained explicitly in the commercial message. As such, it provides a more detailed picture of target market consumer expectation than the more general values research, however it provides less opportunity for descriptive advertising context analysis. This is particularly evident, as certain appeals as classified by Pollay are considerably expanded. For example the \u201ceffective\u201d appeal is split up in to three Resnick-Stern cues: Quality, performance and taste. The \u201csafety\u201d appeal is repeated in two cues: Guarantees and warranties and safety.<\/p>\n 1) http:\/\/www.stephweb.com\/capstone\/t8.shtml<\/p>\n Prof. C.J.M. Beniers 11-12-2012<\/p>\n About Professor C.J.M. Beniers<\/strong><\/p>\n Prof. C.J.M. Beniers is a well known authority in the field of modern and international communication techniques. He developed the Six-Component-Model. This model enables companies, institutions and politicians to communicate and negotiate with counterparts from all over the world successfully. His career began as international manager at Philips and later he earned his doctorate as professor in communication. He has more than 35 years experience as manager and management trainer. Thus he knows both sides \u2013 theory and praxis \u2013 very well. As scientist, Prof. Beniers conducts frequently research in the field of intercultural communication. The results of his interesting research can be found in news articles, free pod casts, audio books and his E-books such as \u201cBridging The Cultural Gap.\u201d Here, modern managers learn how to prepare for business meetings with people from different cultures; they acquire the techniques and tools to handle situations in times of crises successfully, master intercultural barriers, country-specific communication patterns, looking into personal cultural values & systems. Knowing all this, men can prevent cultural misunderstandings and misinterpretations \u2013 not only in business but also in private life.<\/p>\n Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n Prof. C.J.M.
