This course will address the following questions: 

·    Why does global marketing differ from domestic marketing?

·     How can companies assess and identify suitable target markets? 

·    What are the major market entry alternatives?

·    Which factors influence segmentation, targeting and positioning in overseas markets? 

·    Why is there a tension between standardization and adaptation in marketing?

How does the marketing mix change in a global context?

The course "Foundations in International Marketing Management" is closely linked to the course "Applications in IMM". While the "Foundations" course will provide the students with a fundamental understanding of key challenges and concepts in global marketing, these concepts will be contextualized in the "Applications" course, using a computer-based international marketing simulation.
