Markets
have become truly global. If you stand in your domestic market you will likely
be trampled by competitors from around the word and, at the same time,
success and failure in one market will affect the others’ performance.
This is the
main reason why marketing in the global arena is a very dynamic discipline.
In a few
years academitians and practitioners have progressively replaced the
words international and global marketing, with idioms such as “globally
integrated marketing activities”, which are seen as the way
enterprises will cope in the future with increasing globalisation.
The International Marketing course
offers a the opportunity to focus on the firm and the processes associated with
going international. The marketing activities associated with going
international will be dealt with in detail. Students will be asked to work on a
number of assignments allowing you to apply all the concepts discussed in
class.
