, What’s in a name
"At its simplest level, international marketing involves making one or more marketing mix
decisions across national boundaries.
At its most complex level, it involves establishing manufacturing facilities overseas and
coordinating marketing strategies across the globe.”
Doole and Lowe (2001)
International Marketing
Find international customer needs and satisfy them better than the competition.
Important questions:
- Is this realistic?
- Do you have what it takes?
- Are you doing it for the right reasons?
- Do you know what you’re getting into in terms of competition?
International marketing: 5 decisions
1. Whether to internationalize
2. What markets to enter
3. Market entery strategies
4. Designing the International Marketing Plan (IMP)
5. Implementing & coordinating the IMP
