,Preface
This report examines the international marketing strategy plan of KLM. As a second-year
student at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, I have executed a detailed international
marketing analysis for KLM, based on an exploration of the most external factors.
I have learned how to evaluate marketing and entry strategies for a large company as KLM. I
have evaluated the characteristics of all elements of the marketing mix, as well as how
technology affects strategic planning for example.
In writing this international marketing strategy plan I have focused on and learned about all
aspects within international marketing. The analysis possibilities, strategy development and
implementation are parts that I have learned to develop in this short period of time. In
addition, based on the results, I could conclude what external factors play a role, what
entrance options are possible, what kind of trade barriers you run into and of course I could
estimate the level of attractiveness to enter a foreign market.
In the past weeks I have learned, how to work by myself at best and how to write this report
through critical thinking and a lot of desk-research. In addition, this has also enabled me to
develop my discipline and independence.
With the theory of the online lessons and the feedback that I received, I was able to apply
this during the writing of the report. I have learned a lot and gained knowledge. In
combination with the knowledge and experience I already had; I can say that I have made a
good report despite the hectic of the corona crisis.
I would therefore like to thank my teacher Maurik De Groot. I have experienced the help of
the lessons and the feedback received as positive and educational. In this way I could
continue to improve myself in the best way. I am therefore very proud of this and hope for a
good result.
