the influence of digital technologies on the transformation of traditional methodological approaches in the
formation of marketing strategies of global companies.
Literature Review
Many scientific works of famous scientists in the field of marketing management are devoted to the
substantiation of traditional approaches to the conceptual foundations of marketing, including Porter M.
(Porter, 1985), Doyle P. (Doyle, 2003), Kotler F. (Kotler, Keller, 2018), Lamben J.J. (Lamben, 2011),
McDonald M. (McDonald, 2011), Oklander M. (Oklander et al., 2018), Chukurna О. (Chukurna, Zamlyn-
skyi, 2023) and others.
Michael Porter works contains a practical implementation of marketing strategies, building strategic
planning matrices. Porter proposed the first known typology of competitive strategies (basic competition
strategies). Porter developed a well-known methodology for analyzing competitiveness to detuning the com-
pany's strategy based on the study of competitors’ actions and the market as a whole (Porter, 1985).
Doyle P. explores such issues as the formation and implementation of business strategies; strategic mar-
ket planning, segmentation, positioning, and the marketing mix; market drivers and competitive strategies. R.
Doyle has gained worldwide fame through teaching and research in the field of marketing and business strat-
egies. P. Doyle advised the most famous international companies, including Coca-Cola, Shell, IBM, Nestle,
Hewlett-Packard, British Airways, and many others (Doyle P., 2003).
Digital transformation contributed to a change in the marketing paradigm and the formation of a new
worldview in the field of application of marketing tools in conditions of digitalization.
A critical review of the evolution and periodization of the development of marketing theory is widely il-
luminated in the scientific works of M. A. Oklander (Oklander et al., 2017; Oklander et al, 2018). Ok-
lander M.A. provides several definitions of digital marketing and considers it as a form of marketing of mass
customization, a marketing model of the 21st century. He proves that digital marketing is “a type of market-
ing activity that, using digital channels and digital methods, allows targeted interaction with target market
segments in virtual and real environments” (Oklander et al., 2017). Determining that the main strategic direc-
tion of digital marketing is a personalized relationship with users, and the promotion channels are: the Inter-
net, local networks, computers, mobile phones, digital television, advertising displays, interactive screens,
POS terminals. It substantiates the concept of digital marketing, as a result of the evolution of Internet mar-
keting development (Oklander et al., 2017). In the context of this campaign, digital marketing is considered
as individualization diagnosed with consumers, which is accompanied by the active use of digital promotion
tools.
The term “Digital marketing” (digital or interactive marketing) refers to the use of various types of digi-
tal channels for the promotion of goods on the market for target consumers and businesses. Another defini-
tion provided by Danko T. P. interprets digital marketing as marketing that provides interaction with custom-
ers and business partners using digital information and communication technologies and electronic devices,
in a broader sense it is... the implementation of marketing activities using digital information and communi-
cation technologies (Danko, Skorobogatyh, 2005).
Karpishenko O.O. digital marketing means the use of all possible forms of digital channels for the
promotion of a company and its products. Television, radio, Internet, social media are all digital marketing
tools (Karpishenko, Lginova, 2015).
Striy L., Chukurna О., Tanashchuk E. consider the problems of the peculiarities of the marketing con-
cept in the field of development of trends in the telecommunications market (Striy et al., 2022).
Given the global nature of changes taking place against the background of digitalization, the methodol-
ogy of forming marketing strategies has undergone significant changes. The peculiarity of activity in the
field of mobile communications is that it is global companies that become leaders of digital innovations, in-
troducing new technologies, contributing to a change in the marketing paradigm. Since the innovative tech-
nologies that are introduced affect the development of other spheres and sectors of the international econo-
my. Thus, stimulating the development of information and communication technologies in related sectors of
the economy. This is the unique feature of mobile communication, as a basic information and communica-
tion technology, which is used as one of the marketing channels for the promotion of information, simulta-
neously performing the technological function of accumulating and storing information. This creates techno-
logical opportunities for the development of digital marketing.
Taking into account the significant contribution to the theory and practice of the development of the
concept of digital marketing by outstanding scientists of our time, it should be noted that digital technologies
are spreading not only in the marketing activities of enterprises, but also in other areas. The development and
spread of information and communication tools contributed to the emergence of new channels for the promo-
tion of information, goods, ideas and services and the accumulation of large amounts of information that can
be used throughout the life of the company and its brands. These trends affect the models and methods of
forming marketing strategies in the digital economy. Including, reflecting on the activities of global mobile
communication companies. In this context, the question of researching the problems of forming marketing
strategies of global companies in the mobile communication markets becomes relevant. The object of the
research was the global company Huawei, which is a mobile communications operator and successfully im-
plements innovative solutions in the field of telecommunications services and the development and promo-
tion of mobile phones.
Methods
The following methods were used in this study. The System-structural method is used in the study of
theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of the company's marketing strategy. The Diagnostic
method is used to diagnose Huawei's marketing strategy in the global smartphone markets and the Ukrainian
market. The Logical-comparative method for conducting a comparative analysis of marketing strategies of
Huawei's main competitors (Samsung, Apple). Statistical analysis methods for assessing the global
smartphone market, identifying the main trends and trends in the smartphone market in Ukraine. Factor anal-
ysis is used to analyse factors that affect the development of the smartphone market
Methods of grouping and classification for analyzing the types of the marketing strategy of the compa-
ny, as well as for systematizing the factors of the internal and external environment that affect the develop-
ment of the company's telecommunications industry. Forecasting method for predicting the main financial
indicators of Huawei as a result of implementing a marketing strategy to promote the company in Ukraine by
using the competitive technological advantages of 5G.
Results
The development of information society and digital economy, its dynamic changes affect the foundation
of marketing methodology. In the theory of strategic marketing, there are two approaches to the methodology
of forming a marketing strategy: traditional; economic-mathematical and statistical models. The traditional
approach to the methodology of forming a marketing strategy involves the use of matrix models. Recently,
more and more attention among scientists was paid to economic and mathematical methods and models in
the analysis of marketing activities of the enterprise and the formation of strategies. The use of economic and
mathematical models allows you to get the best quality and reliable results than matrix ones. The emergence
and further improvement of application programs simplify the use of mathematical methods and speed up the
process of making marketing decisions when developing strategies. This aspect is particularly relevant in the
context of informatization and digitization of society since it provides an opportunity to respond flexibly to
changes in the external marketing environment and promptly adjust marketing information. Therefore, there
is a need to systematize and improve the classification of methods and models used in the information of the
company's marketing strategy.
The methodology of forming a marketing strategy in the conditions of the digital economy and the de-
velopment of “Industry 4.0” technologies was studied using the example of the global company Huawei.
Huawei is a mobile operator operating in the market of mobile equipment and signal transmission and a
developer of mobile phones. Thus, the company works on the B2B and B2C market, simultaneously cover-
ing different areas of activity in the same field of activity. Such a strategic approach provides opportunities
to cover the global market while remaining in a certain business area. In order to form an adequate marketing
strategy of the company in two types of markets, an assessment of its competitiveness was carried out specif-
ically in the mobile phone market, noting the main competitors.
Analysis of Huawei company competitiveness. Competition in the smartphone market moved to a new
level in 2019. On the one hand, the market itself is no longer growing, on the other-the onslaught of Chinese
manufacturers has dramatically increased, forcing other companies to act much more actively than before.
The rating is based not on personal preferences, but on the popularity of devices. It is based on statistics from
the European analytical company StatCounter. It calculates the success of manufacturers based on how much
traffic their devices generate in the global network. We will look at the main positions of the rating in detail,
clearly demonstrating how the share of manufacturers has changed over the past six years. The key points
were brand indicators for the first month of each year starting in 2014 and ending in January of 2020. Table 1
shows the change in top smartphone brands over the past six years to the beginning of 2020.
Table 1. Changes in Top smartphone brands in Ukraine over the past six years to the beginning of 2020, %
Based on analytical data, it can be seen that the main market leaders are the following brands: Huawei,
Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi. It is these brands in the market of mobile phones and smartphones that are global
leaders that have advantages in areas of innovation, marketing channels and technological advantages. How-
ever, the functions of the communication operator are performed only by the Huawei company, retaining the
leadership in the introduction of new smartphone models that are focused on the new 5G communication
standards. In the Ukrainian market, the distribution of shares of brand-companies that are manufacturers of
smartphones shows the significant popularity among consumers of two brands — Samsung and Apple.
The distribution of the market share of smartphone manufacturers globally for the period 2019-2022 is
presented in Fig. 1.

The competitive distribution of the market among smartphone manufacturers in the world and in
Ukraine is presented in Table 2, based on which it can be seen that the trends in the development of the
Ukrainian market are in line with global trends. Comparative characteristics of the balance of power among
the key smartphone manufacturers in the world and Ukrainian rankings, in 2019.
Table 2. Comparative characteristics of the balance of power among the key smartphone manufacturers in the world and
Ukrainian rankings, in 2019-2021
The balance of power among the key smartphone manufacturers in Ukraine and China is somewhat dif-
ferent. Ukrainian consumers prefer Samsung and Apple manufacturers. Chinese consumers prefer Xiaomi
and Huawei. The leader of the Chinese smartphone market is Huawei. For 2019, it was able to increase sales
from 28.5 million units to 36.3 million units, or 27%. As a result, its market share increased from 27.4% to
37.0%.
Thus, Huawei's main competitors are Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi.
In order to carry out a strategic competitive analysis, which is the basis for the formation of a marketing
strategy, brand perception maps of the main smartphone manufacturers were developed. The logical presen-
tation of which is presented in Tables 3-6. Next, draw up maps of strategic groups of Huawei's competitors.
Five experts on information and communication technologies and marketing activities of the IBI-
Rating Agency were engaged to draw up maps of strategic groups of Huawei's competitors. The experts were
asked to evaluate the level of consumer awareness, the range of smartphones, the brand update, the effec-
tiveness of the marketing strategy and the improvement of smartphone manufacturing technology on a 10-
point scale (1 — low level, 10 — high level). The consumer awareness score was calculated as the average
score of 5 experts in information and communication technologies and marketing activities. The map of
groups of strategic competitors of Huawei based on the ratio of indicators of smartphone market share and
level of consumer awareness is presented in Table 3.

So, the maps of strategic groups show that the largest competitor of Huawei in the Ukrainian
smartphone market in terms of smartphone market share, consumer awareness, range of smartphones, brand
updatability, effectiveness of marketing strategy, and improvement of smartphone manufacturing technolo-
gies is Samsung. Evaluation of Huawei's competitive advantages showed that the main competitors in the
Ukrainian smartphone market are Samsung and Apple (Fig. 6).
Development of a marketing strategy Huawei in Ukraine through the use of technological advantages of
5G. The assessment was conducted in a circle of experts with some experience in the smartphone industry.
Using strategic analysis tools, such as SWOT analysis, we can get a clear picture of the current state and fu-
ture potential of the company. We will identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that affect
Huawei.
Strength.
Competitive pricing. One of Huawei's greatest strengths is its competitive price. For several years, the
smartphone market was dominated by luxury brands such as Samsung and Apple, and there were no cheaper
alternatives to compete. However, the popularity of smartphones has soared over the past 10 years, which
has led to a huge demand for inexpensive devices. Huawei is not the cheapest smartphone manufacturer on
the market, but it is significantly cheaper than the luxury competitors we mentioned above.
High level of smartphone quality. Despite extremely competitive prices, Huawei smartphones are high-
quality smartphones. Although their devices may not compete with brands like Samsung and Apple, but in
terms of quality, they have a high level of quality compared to other cost-effective smartphone brands. Many
of Huawei smartphones have a four-star rating (out of five possible) or higher on major retail sites such as
Amazon, which is a true confirmation of their quality.

Weakness
Lack of capital. Huawei has an insufficient level of capital. Compared to Apple, the world's largest
company by market capitalization (almost a trillion dollars), Huawei share of capitalization is quite small.
This means that the company must be extremely accurate in planning its financial flows. The insufficient
level of capitalization does not allow for large-scale investment in marketing or branding, which would be an
important next step for Huawei to become a top-class brand in the eyes of smartphone consumers.
A weak brand positions. Perhaps due to the insufficient level of capitalization, Huawei has a weak
brand. While demand for budget smartphone manufacturers like Huawei, is really growing, they have long
been considered clearly the worst choice. In the case of Huawei, this is not helped by the lack of marketing
efforts. It should be recognized that in some countries, the Huawei brand is stronger than in others: for ex-
ample, in the European Union, it is much stronger than in the United States. It’s also worth mentioning that
Huawei's weak brand is partly due to a prominent Western belief that Chinese products are inferior in some
way; this conviction is especially noticeable in the United States.
Opportunities
5G technology. 5G is the next-generation mobile communication technology. As it turned out, Huawei
quickly innovated, developing and releasing mobile modems that are compatible with 5G, even before the
advent of major chipset manufacturers such as Intel. If Huawei implements a 5G marketing strategy, they
can anchor themselves as a luxury brand, offering technologies that are not available even for top brands like
Apple and Samsung. Huawei has even offered to sell its 5G modems to Apple, which could bring them huge
profits. Naturally, this will be associated with all the compromises in the sale of technologies by the main
competitor.
India and US markets. Often, weaknesses can be opportunities. We mentioned above that in the Unit-
ed States, Huawei has a poor perception of the Huawei brand. Huawei has little penetration in the US market.
The same can be said for the Indian market. This means that both India and the US are untapped sources of
income. If Huawei could develop a powerful strategy to enter these two markets, they could see a huge in-
crease in overall revenue, given the number of potential smartphone consumers.
Low-budget design of official stores. The low-budget design of the official stores of the Huawei brand
is one of the reasons that brands such as Samsung and Apple are in the first place among others. The luxury
and comfort of official Samsung or Apple stores not only gives potential customers another opportunity to
buy their smartphones, but also improves the perception of the brand on a subconscious level. By investing
in the design of its stores, Huawei can simultaneously improve its marketing and sales performance.
Threats.
High competition. One of Huawei's biggest threats is the smartphone market itself. The telecommuni-
cations industry is fiercely competitive across the Board, and this is especially true for the smartphone mar-
ket. Huawei not only faces competition from major brands such as Samsung and Apple (which have a signif-
icant level of capitalization), but also the threat of new players in the smartphone market in Ukraine. Even if
top-level brands don’t develop their own low-cost devices, a new competitor can enter the market at any time
and take a portion of Huawei's market share with just one technological advance.
Increase in labor and material costs. A less serious threat to Huawei is rising labor and material costs.
Smartphone manufacturing is relatively labor-intensive (although some parts of the process are automated),
so the slow but steady growth in labor costs in China is gradually increasing Huawei's overhead. The same
applies to materials that are becoming more expensive simply because of growing demand. All of these fac-
tors will force Huawei to raise smartphone prices or lower its profit margins.
Thanks to low-cost and high-quality products, Huawei has managed to enter one of the most difficult
markets: the smartphone market. Moreover, Huawei has a significant opportunity to grow its business by
entering and dominating new markets (including technological ones such as 5G, and geographical ones such
as India or the USA, and Ukraine), and improving the perception of its brand, perhaps through the use of of-
ficial representative offices.
Huawei needs to closely monitor competition in the smartphone market and provide plans to manage
rising labor and material costs.
SWOT analysis of Huawei company in Ukraine (Table 7). SWOT analysis is a kind of form that does
not contain a final one information for making management decisions, but it enables order the process of
considering all the available information using one's own thoughts and assessments. In order to economically
justify the implementation of Huawei's marketing promotion strategy in Ukraine, we will compile a matrix of
the company's strengths and weaknesses in the Ukrainian smartphone market.
Thus, the study showed that Huawei has a significant opportunity to develop its business by entering
new markets and dominating them (including technological ones, such as 5G, and geographical ones, such as
Ukraine). Huawei quickly innovated, developing and releasing mobile modems that are compatible with 5G,
even before the advent of major chipset manufacturers such as Intel. If Huawei implements a 5G marketing
strategy, they can anchor themselves as a luxury brand, offering technologies that are not available even for
top brands like Apple and Samsung.
The main advantage of Huawei's marketing strategy in the Ukrainian smartphone market is that it is
aimed at creating the image of a premium brand, and therefore the company uses a multi-brand strategy —
two brands for different market segments. Letters and numbers and explanatory words are also used within
each brand. “Huawei + Honor's” multi-brand strategy is focused on meeting the needs of different segments
of the smartphone market. Expanding the range of smartphones, Huawei has followed the path of Samsung,
highlighting a series of products within each brand.
Opportunities Threats
1. Long-term political instability in Ukraine;
2. Sharp changes in exchange rates and devaluation of
External environment
Huawei company's weaknesses in Ukraine are: reduced competitive position; weak brand due to lack
of capital investments; ineffective marketing strategy for entering new foreign markets; low market capitali-
zation compared to other competitors; insufficient cost of capital investments; lack of the Ukrainian version
of the official website. Research on marketing strategy in Ukraine has shown that Huawei has a significant
opportunity to develop its business by entering and dominating new markets (including technological ones
such as 5G and geographical ones such as Ukraine). Huawei quickly innovated, developing and releasing
mobile modems that are compatible with 5G, even before the advent of major chipset manufacturers such as
Intel. If Huawei implements a 5G marketing strategy, they can anchor themselves as a luxury brand, offering
technologies that are not available even for top brands like Apple and Samsung.
We propose a marketing strategy for promoting Huawei in Ukraine by using the technological ad-
vantages of 5G. The methodological tools and practical recommendations for developing Huawei's market-
ing strategy can be used in the strategic planning of similar companies working in the field of telecommuni-
cations technologies. The fifth generation of mobile communications promises to be the Foundation of the
21st century economy. Only South Korea has achieved national success so far.
Now every chip manufacturer and gadget manufacturer is trying to gain dominance in the 5G sphere
— a revolutionary achievement of cellular communication, promising to become the basis of the economy of
the 21st century.
Let's briefly discuss the technological advantages of implementing a 5G marketing strategy. The “fifth
generation” communication networks, the so-called 5G, together with big data analysis and the Internet of
things (IoT) are designed to become one of the foundations of the digital economy, the main driving force of
which should be artificial intelligence (Al). Over the past 40 years, four generations of mobile communica-
tion networks have changed. If the first-generation 1G cellular networks have long disappeared, then 2G, 3G
and 4G networks still continue to be used. Moreover, some of the legacy 3G and 4G infrastructure will be
integrated into the fifth-generation 5G mobile networks.
Advantages of implementing a marketing strategy to promote Huawei 5G technologies in Ukraine. As
of 2019, the cost of passing growing traffic through the networks of Telecom operators is not covered by
revenue from traditional services. Search for new services, so-called “killer application” of traditional tele-
communications platforms usually does not give the expected results
Meanwhile, the main growth in traffic and revenue is not in the people's devices sector, but in the Inter-
net of things devices sector, which is one of the basic goals of the 5G functionality.
At 2020 is the approximate start of the introduction of 5G technology in Ukraine. Thus, Ukraine can
catch up with the most technologically advanced countries in the world, which also plan to start foil com-
mercial use of the fifth generation this year. According to the state enterprise “Ukrainian state center of radio
frequencies” in Ukraine, work is continuing on the release of 700 MHz radio frequency bands, identified by
the EU countries as priority for the introduction of mobile networks of the fifth generation (5G).
Specialists of the state enterprise “Ukrainian state radio frequency center” take part in the preparation
of documents for the organization of the European conference of posts and telecommunications, which are
aimed at regulating the technical and regulatory aspects of the introduction of 5G technology in Europe (in-
cluding Ukraine). Currently, certain measures are underway in Ukraine to release the 800 MHz and
700 MHz radio frequency bands from the REF (radio electronic facilities) of digital terrestrial television
broadcasting (DTTB) for the further development of MFCN (mobile/fixed communication networks) in it.
In a separate roadmap for 5G, the EU countries identified the bands of 700 MHz, 3.6 GHz, and 26 GHz
as priority for implementing 5G in Europe.
Based on the positive results of the completion of the procedures of the state enterprise “Ukrainian
state radio frequency center” during the first half of 2020, the necessary materials will be prepared for the
National Council to carry out further measures for transferring the Central TV station REF(DTTB) to the
470-694 MHz frequency band. The growth in the number of devices connected to the network is presented in
Table 8.

Impact of the 5G marketing strategy on the Ukrainian economy. According to experts on information
and communication technologies, the introduction of a marketing strategy, the introduction of the 5G net-
work will lead to GDP growth of 2.5%. According to a number of international experts, the introduction of
5G technologies around the world will lead to an extraordinary economic development. With the latest tech-
nology, you can significantly automate and improve your workflow. The biggest benefit from 5G will be
self-driving cars, since the signal delay at high speeds of the car itself will be eliminated. Also, the fifth gen-
eration will allow you to manage agricultural machinery in real time and monitor the soil and planted crops,
unify infrastructure and create “smart” factories or even entire cities, improve communication networks, in-
cluding transport. In medicine, 5G technology will allow doctors to perform remote operations using auto-
mated systems.
In General, 5G will contribute to the development of artificial intelligence, which will significantly im-
prove and speed up the provision of services, as well as the production of goods around the world.
Discussion
Methodological approaches to the formation of a 5G digital marketing strategy should be based on the
application of strategic and competitive analysis, taking into account the technological component of its im-
plementation in practice. 5G digital marketing strategy based on 5G technology is the basis for the introduc-
tion and dissemination of innovation.
Conclusion
Huawei's digital marketing strategy should be based on countering threats, primarily fierce competi-
tion from its direct competitors and multinational corporations such as Apple, Samsung and Amazon, as well
as Chinese companies Xiaomi, Vivo, OPPO.
The disadvantages of these companies (e.g. Apple) which include high selling price, incompatibility
with other third party software, limited promotional marketing strategy must be countered by their rapid in-
novation strategies, including entering high-risk markets.
Ukraine, thanks to a good level of education, is becoming a major player in the global technological
arena. The IT talent pool in Ukraine is approaching 200,000 software developers, tech start-ups are booming,
investment is on the rise, and the number of companies partnering with Ukrainian software development ser-
vice providers is on the rise of historically strong engineering skills to realize their potential. In a world con-
sumed by technological innovation, at a time when information and data have become a vital resource,
Ukraine can offer an invaluable asset — an unrivalled pool of IT professionals.
Research on marketing strategy in Ukraine has shown that Huawei has a significant opportunity to de-
velop its business by entering and dominating new markets (including technological ones such as 5G and
geographical ones such as Ukraine). Huawei is quickly innovated by developing and releasing mobile mo-

dems that are compatible with 5G, even before the advent of major chipset manufacturers such as Intel. We
propose a marketing strategy to promote Huawei in Ukraine by using the technological advantages of 5G. 5G
networks significantly expand the limited functionality of mobile networks of previous generations. The
main functional features of 5G networks are the following: enhanced mobile broadband access eMBB (en-
hanced MBB); ultra-reliable communications with low latency ULLRC (Ultra Low Latency Reliable Com-
munication); massive inter-machine communications Massive I0T/II0T, MMTS (massive Machine Type
Communication). All the variety of services and capabilities of IMT2020 (5G) networks is built on the basis
of these three generalized types of functionalities.
If Huawei implements a 5G marketing strategy, they can establish themselves as a luxury brand, offer-
ing technologies that are not available even for top brands like Apple and Samsung. This is because 40 oper-
ators from 20 countries have already launched 5g networks for commercial use, and 2/3 of these projects are
implemented together with Huawei. Leading operators are actively working on creating pre-commercial 5g
test zones and demonstrate real cases of using technologies of this communication standard. The implemen-
tation of Huawei's marketing strategy in Ukraine using the competitive technological advantages of 5G will
increase the company's revenues by 20-30%, bring the Ukrainian economy to a high-level market, and sub-
sequently make it possible to create a world-class national digital brand. Innovation and the creation of a uni-
fied system will accelerate the process of commercial launch of 5G.
As specific practical recommendations, we suggest that other companies that work in the field of
communication technologies use methodological tools and practical recommendations for developing a mar-
keting strategy for the implementation of the 5G network in the Ukrainian market in strategic planning. This
is due to the fact that 5G networks significantly expand the limited functionality of mobile networks of pre-
vious generations. In fact, 5G plays the role of a platform for the development mode of new DevOps services
and applications, when new features are created by developers (Development) in close coordination with the
teams that are responsible for their implementation and operation. Implementation of the marketing strategy
implementation of the 5G network will lead to GDP growth of 2.5%. The introduction of 5G technologies
around the world will lead to an extraordinary development of the economy. With the latest technology, you
can significantly automate and improve your workflow. In General, 5G will contribute to the development of
artificial intelligence, which will significantly improve and speed up the provision of services, as well as the
production of goods around the world.
