Qualitative studies often refer to the notion of the inconscious and neurosciences reveal to us the existence of a neuronal inconscious. But inconscious is not only neuronal, and the qualitative method does not offer ways to measure the mental reactions in individuals. In qualitative, we decipher the incounscious conditioned by our social, historical, and cultural environnementmake; we read how the consumer projects himself onto the objects of the world; we tap into creative imagination; we can pull everything apart and reconstruct it; and we take part in the strategic objectives of a brand.  For example, to construct a Brand strategy, we have to think differently; to break the beliefs; to think in a contradictory way. Qualitative is about going beyond the concrete facts and the measurements, which allows to think out of the box; it is about control and emerging meaning. In a world increasingly saturated with objective information, qualitative has a symbolic  function that helps overcome the deadlocks of rationality. Qualitative is a transdisciplinary discipline.

The article discusses the current problems of the theory and practice of archetypal branding, analyzes the problems of archetypal branding from the perspective of ergonomic support for marketing research. In the framework of modern ergonomics, one of the tasks of its development is the ergonomic support of marketing research, including research on the development and evaluation of the effectiveness and productivity of the brand. A brand that is developed by marketers in accordance with a particular archetype or a specific role model can not only gain consumer recognition, but also help them formulate a way to express themselves. A role model in terms of the ergonomic support of marketing research can be used to develop a brand strategy: it represents an image that reflects a person’s ideas about a desirable role in the community. The client seeks not only to demonstrate this image to people, but also to use it in order to support and transform his own identity. At the same time, role models, unlike archetypal structures, practices and theorists from the standpoint of ergonomic support of marketing research typologize, based directly on a comparison with the leading motives of life and consumption. Role models correspond to different consumption situations, without contradicting the specific cultural and historical context. From the position of ergonomic support of marketing research, they should and can be used as functions specific to a given community, region, and time, as well as transcultural or supercultural structures that reflect one or another pole of the archetype in a particular cultural and historical environment.

My subject is the place of myth in philosophy, not in religion. If I were dealing with the philosophy of religion, I should, of course, have much to say on the place of myth in theology; and what I have to say may have some bearing on this subject; but I am not dealing with particular dogmas of Christianity or of any other religion. My thesis is that when the mind communes with the world of values its natural and inevitable language is the language of poetry, symbol, and myth. And, further, that philosophy has to deal with a number of irreducible surds which cannot be rationalized. They must be accepted as given material for reason to work upon. For example, we do not know why there is a world; we cannot unify the world of what we call facts and the world of values; there are antinomies in space and time which do not seem to disappear when we put a hyphen between them. Our reason–some would say reason itself— has reached its limits. We are driven to mythologize, confessing that we have left the realm of scientific fact. We give rein to the imagination, not exactly claiming with Wordsworth that it is reason in her most exalted mood, but hoping that the creative imagination may reveal to us some of the real meaning of questions which we cannot answer.

Introduction. The development of the information and communication technologies (ICT) market creates the conditions for further growth of other sectors of the economy. ICT companies provide companies, individuals and government with software, Internet, mobile and fixed communications, and so on. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the ICT market in the world and in Ukraine, to identify major trends and threats for further development of the ICT market. Results. The ICT market is one of the largest dynamically developing markets in the world. Research conducted by leading consulting companies in the world shows that after 2020, the market can grow from 13 to 33 trillion and the blockchain market to 3.1 trillion $. International Data Corporation emphasizes that digital technologies and solutions can reach 60% of global GDP by the end of 2022. The world leader in the number of ICT corporations is the United States, with headquarters of the 65 world's largest companies, 20 in China, Taiwan - 17, Japan - 14, South Korea - 6, India - 5 companies. The IT services market accounts for 0,5% of the global IT services market. In Ukraine there are 125 registered self-employed individuals that are used by large companies to optimize their tax burden. Income of such American ICT companies such as Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft significantly exceeds the size of the state budget of Ukraine, and part of the revenues from the ICT market occupies only 4,5% of GDP, which is clearly insufficient and is evidence of an economic development lag. Conclusions. The imperfection of domestic legislation, the lack of incentives for ICT organizations, the possibility to monopolize the market, the insecurity of the interests of individuals and private companies do not stimulate foreign investments in this sector of the economy. In spite of this, Ukraine has a great potential for its growth, for which it is necessary to develop a national concept and model for the development of the ICT market, to restrain the departure of specialists abroad, to ensure the implementation of the business-state partnership strategy, etc. Keywords: telecommunications market, IT market, telecommunications market and IT services, marketing research, investments, ICT companies.
