What is international marketing?
“Marketing is defined as the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating

Global marketing: organization focuses on selection and exploitation of global marketing
opportunities, objective is achieving global competitive advantage

Control, Difficult to control and coordinate across markets
- Differences between international and domestic marketing
Failure arises from:

- Unwilling to adapt and update products to local needs
- Products not perceived as sufficiently unique
- Vacillating commitment
- Assigning the wrong people
- Picking the wrong partners
- Inability to manage local stakeholders
- Mutual distrust/lack of respect between HQ & management
- Inability to leverage ideas to all countries
When going international firms must:
1. Have a clear international competitive focus
2. Develop effective relationship strategies
3. Be committed to providing quality products and services worldwide
4. Have a well-managed organization with a culture for learning
