The thesis is focused on analyzing the media mix development from 1996 with prediction of 2016. The theoretical part characterizes particular media (classification, efficiency and their advantage). I analyze both media mix and macroeconomics trend in the practical part because I assume that this two factors influence each other. As future development prediction I compare the questionnaire result to statistic simulated data.

One of the main goals of this Master's Thesis was to characterize the process of media planning and its organization, to determine the factors influencing this process and get to know the specifics of print media planning. Diffrent sources of information were used to study the process -- available literature, available analysis of the media market in the Czech Republic and also practical experience of media planners. Another important goal was to propose a media plan Spring 2004 for the Open University Czech Republic o.p.s. The analysis shows that media planning is very complex process involving many individual steps. The starting point is a deep analysis of the company and product. The next important step is then a selection of appropriate media strategy and creation of the the most effective media mix. During the print media planning must be taken into account factors such as the creativity of advertising, its format, campaign timing and the content of communication. In the practical part the Open University media plan for print and electronic media was designed. The media type has been chosen according to the target group of the potential students. The plan is based on the real situation of the company and therefore, together with other proposals for changes of the corporate communication, in the next period feasible.

日本內容產業在2003年因為「Cool Japan概念」的提出而逐漸被日本政府重視，小泉政府更有「文化立國」之目標，而後更在2010年開始積極推動「Cool Japan戰略計畫」，成立了內容產業成長戰略相關研究會，定期召開會議及成果報告。內容產業包含了電影、動畫、音樂、遊戲、出版、廣告等六項主要領域，而本研究所著重之內容產業領域為動畫及部分之印刷（漫畫）領域。以動畫領域來說，自日本動畫協會所公布的數據顯示，日本動畫產業市場為1兆4,913億日圓（2014年），顯示其重要性。在《Cool Japan戰略計畫》中，三大策略方向中的其中一項即為內容產業與消費財的共同提攜，當中流程的一環即為內容產業的輸出以及「二次利用」，即角色商品的授權，而二次利用的內容物主要以動畫與漫畫所創造的角色利用為主要手段。2014年的《コンテンツ海外展開の促進に向けた施策について》中，提到日本尚未在海外充分展現出其魅力，所以海外市場亦因此尚未真正拓展，於是想藉由能代表「日本魅力」，並在海外具高人氣的商品、服務等項目逆向吸引外國市場進入國內，也就是在世界製造「日本潮流」，而動畫產業即為當中被點名的項目之一，動畫產業對於日本之重要性可謂不言而喻。 　　1990年代後，利用動畫作品於日本消費市場的親和力與內容的靈活運用性與各種產品進行結合，將不同媒體的原作先行動畫化，利用動畫將作品內容進行擴大宣傳，進一步地提高作品知名度，最終目的在於刺激關聯商品的營收之跨體經營模式，在當今已成為動畫相關產業中廣泛運用之經營手段。究竟跨媒體營運模式為何？涵蓋何種類別的產業？其所帶來的優勢與劣勢為何？…等，為筆者欲於研究中欲探討之項目。而透過本研究能更進一步了解日本動畫產業於行銷策略面之運作方式，期許能成為我國內容產業界發展之助力，並提供將來欲從事相關研究之學術人員的研究參考，並期望能藉此為臺日內容產業的學術交流盡一份心力。 / After the "Cool Japan concept" was proposed in 2003, the Japanese government has begun to take the content industry seriously. Moreover, the Koizumi government started actively to promote the concept of “cultural nation” represented by projects such as the very “Cool Japan strategic plan”. 　According to the “Content Industry’s Status and Development” reported by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), the market of Japanese content industry is worth about 12 trillion yen, ranking second in the world as in 2010. A part of this content industry, the anime industry, is popular all around the world, as this art form has gained numerous followers over the years. Therefore, as Japanese government realizes that the anime industry may hold a huge market potential with international competitiveness, the anime industry started to obtain importance within Japan. 　Regarding the marketing schemes, differently from the American’s promotion strategies, Japanese anime industry uses multivariate mass media and transplanting platforms in order to make the content available in multiple forms, also the advertising is done as widely as it is possible, in order to make consumers desire more. This kind of business strategy works out satisfactorily in the domestic environment, and this model has also became a unique business model that belongs to Japan. 　This thesis starts with a description on the birth of the Japanese anime industry, pointing to the composition and operation of Animation Production Committee. Subsequently, it attempts to explain how the ‘Media Mix’ model’s composition and operation affects the market, and what kind of advantages can Media Mix model brings to affiliate enterprises. Lastly, it addresses the unresolved problems and how this model can be improved in the future.

The focus of this master's thesis is on the role of specific media in the diffusion of Japanese culture. Even though Japan is both geographically distant and culturally distinct from the rest of the world, it has become popular among fans globally. One of the main factors contributing to this fascination is a so-called media mix including Japan-specific media ranging from manga and anime to videogames. The aim of this master's thesis is to find out, based on a quantitative research conducted in both Czech and English-speaking environments, how various media outlets in Japan contribute to its popularity world-wide, identify the most important medium and scrutinize it through a descriptive analysis based on the theories of globalisation and cultural hybridisation to see what makes this medium so distinct. The author discovered that the most significant medium contributing to the diffusion of Japanese culture is anime. One of the main reasons behind its success is a commercial strategy of Japanese producers who intentionally remove cultural boundaries out of anime to make it globally acceptable. Another contributing factor connected to that, is the hybrid look of anime characters that do not have the physical features of Japanese people, which is why audiences tend to link the characters to their own...

Deciding the optimal media advertisement spending is a complex issue that many companies today are facing. With the rise of new ways to market products, the choices can appear infinite. One methodical way to do this is to use Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM), in which statistical modelling is used to attribute sales to media spendings. However, many problems arise during the modelling. Modelling and mitigation of uncertainty, time-dependencies of sales, incorporation of expert information and interpretation of models are all issues that need to be addressed. This thesis aims to investigate the effectiveness of eight different statistical and machine learning methods in terms of prediction accuracy and certainty, each one addressing one of the previously mentioned issues. It is concluded that while Shapley Value Regression has the highest certainty in terms of coefficient estimation, it sacrifices some prediction accuracy. The overall highest performing model is the Bayesian hierarchical model, achieving both high prediction accuracy and high certainty.
