Duncan (2008), etc. pointed out the appliance of theoretical and empirical researches of electronic communication. The object of the thesis. Electronic communication. The aim of the thesis. The aim of the thesis is to analyse and summarise the appliance of electronic communication introducing a new product into the market at the theoretical level. In addition to this, the thesis also shows how to frame the theoretical model of the appliance of electronic communication introducing a new product into the market and to specify it empirically by the example of the private limited-liability company “Ilitvision”. The goals of the thesis are the following: 1. To present and generalize the conception and aims of electronic communication. 2. To review the elements of marketing communication complex in the electronic context. 3. To analyze new aspects introducing a new product into the market. 4. To design a model of the application of electronic communication introducing a new product into the market. 5. To examine a model of the application of electronic communication introducing a new product into the market following the example of the private limited-liability company “Ilitvision”. The methodology of the thesis. The methods used in the Master Thesis are the following: 1.
