Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers. International or global marketing is extending these processes to “foreign” markets. International marketing has become a major area of expertise for managers since the business world has become more global and companies in Western countries are facing increased competition and pressure in their “home” markets.

This course addresses the opportunities and challenges of international marketing by discussing international marketing theories, analysing existing environmental trends and developing a marketing plan for internationalisation.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to

  • understand the core principles of international marketing,
  • write an international marketing plan,
  • capture the environmental forces and challenges of internationalisation and international marketing,
  • decide why, when and how to enter foreign markets, and
