The aim of my dissertation is to investigate whether shopping mall Centrum Krakov in Prague 8 should develop a locally focused marketing strategy in alignment with new marketing trends, strategies and rapidly changing market. Therefore, in order to fulfill the requirements of the aim, extensive research had to be conducted. Firstly, it was imperative to investigate what are the new marketing trends and strategies. Secondly, to investigate whether such new trends and strategies would be effective in the eye of the costumer.
