Description

This course examines the marketing of products outside a manufacturer’s home country. Particular emphasis is given to strategic issues in international marketing. A series of cases is used to illustrate the concepts being presented.

This course offers an intensive introduction to the theory and practice of international marketing, offering an advanced, integrative view. The course will focus on environments that international marketers must consider, linkages between marketing and development of international competitive strategies, design and execution of international marketing programmes, and organisation and coordination of international marketing operations. The course will evaluate global issues and concepts that confront today's international marketers at all levels of international involvement. A term-long class project is used to explore the different dimensions of the problems and opportunties facing the firm participating in the international market and the manager participating in international marketing.
