Unit description
International Marketing is ‘the name of the game’ for many businesses. And while some geographical and cultural barriers may diminish, global markets offer increasing opportunities – and challenges - for companies to market and sell their products and services internationally. International marketing is the multinational process of planning and executing the marketing of a firm's offering. Marketing is always complex because diverse segments need to be targeted, and this complexity is multiplied in international markets. In this unit, students will learn and apply international marketing theories and concepts to address opportunities and challenges. Students will critically analyse ‘real world’ issues, and explore challenges and opportunities in the creation of international marketing strategies. |
