  • 本論文透過跨文化比較內容分析方法,探討文化與經濟因素如何影響廣告策略,研究樣本涵蓋2023至2025年間瓜地馬拉與台灣共三十則食品與飲料廣告,包括本土品牌與跨國品牌。研究以霍夫斯泰德文化維度理論、De Mooij廣告調適框架,以及標準化與在地化之爭議為理論基礎,並使用結構化編碼工具分析文化訴求、經濟與市場訴求,以及說服技巧。

    研究結果顯示,瓜地馬拉廣告較強調集體主義、家庭、傳統、本土認同與人際情感連結;相較之下,台灣廣告則更突出個人主義、名人與權威背書、信任與品質、健康定位,以及高端生活方式的訴求。跨國品牌在維持全球品牌一致性的同時,亦會根據當地文化期待調整情感表達方式,以提升在地適應性。

    This thesis examines how cultural and economic determinants shape advertising approaches through a cross-cultural comparative content analysis of thirty food and beverage advertisements from Guatemala and Taiwan (2023–2025), including both local and multinational brands. Drawing on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, De Mooij's advertising adaptation framework, and the standardization versus adaptation debate, the study analyzes cultural appeals, economic and market appeals, and persuasive techniques using a structured coding instrument. Findings show that Guatemalan advertisements relied more strongly on collectivism, family, tradition, local identity, and relational emotional appeal, while Taiwanese advertisements emphasized individualism, celebrity and authority endorsement, trust and quality, health positioning, and premium lifestyle appeal. Multinational brands maintained global brand identities while adapting emotional messaging to local cultural expectations. Disclaimer: AI-assisted translation tools were used to support analysis of Mandarin Chinese advertisements, with all interpretation and evaluation conducted by the researcher.
