Course Description

The purpose of this course is to provide students with skills in how basic marketing concepts can be implemented when addressing international markets. This includes the purposes of international marketing, analysis of the international marketing environment, the balancing of the international mix, the opportunities and barriers as they apply to international markets, an understanding of culture as it relates to international marketing, and the development of international marketing strategies.
International marketing is the performance of the marketing task across national boundaries. As such, the principles are the same as domestic marketing. However, the environment in which international marketing takes place is different from the domestic environment; the control, which it is possible to exercise over the five “P’s”, is different, and there is a different dimension of complexity to planning the market function internationally.
