SYNOPSIS:

International Marketing represents a major application of marketing concepts to the international market area. It is based upon the premise that while marketing to overseas countries has many similarities to marketing within domestic boundaries there are significant differences and problems to warrant special study. In this unit students will learn to evaluate international markets, and determine appropriate strategies for entering such markets and apply the marketing mix elements to international markets.


OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of the unit, the student will be able to:

  1. evaluate and analyse the international marketing environment
  2. understand the firm's responses to the international environment
  3. determine appropriate strategies for entering such markets
  4. show understanding of the marketing elements of pricing, product, promotion, and distribution as they apply to international marketing.
