Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of selected emerging technologies on the transformation of contemporary marketing practices, with a special focus on the Czech business environment. The focus is on the integration of advanced artificial intelligence, distributed data structures (big data), Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain platforms, robotic systems, cloud computing, and immersive technologies (AR/VR/metaverse) into strategic and operational marketing processes. The study aims to conduct a multi-paradigm synthesis of the impact of these technologies on redefining core marketing principles, including value creation, personalization of customer experience, and optimization of decision-making mechanisms. Methodologically, the research is anchored in a systematic literature review (SLR) and a qualitative investigation through semi-structured interviews with selected marketing practitioners. The findings empirically confirm the growing importance of data-driven approaches, predictive analytics, and automation in building customer relevance and campaign effectiveness. They also identify the major ethical, legal, and societal challenges associated with algorithmic decision-making, data management, and transparency of digital processes. Based on the research findings, the paper formulates recommendations for the strategic implementation of digital technologies in marketing with an emphasis on accountability, ethics, and long-term sustainability. The study contributes to broadening the academic debate on the technological transformation of marketing and offers theoretical and practical impetus for further research on digital customer relationship management in the Central European environment.
