Abstract

This year-one, master-level course is concerned with exploring how marketing can be undertaken in foreign countries (or international markets). As the international business environment has become more complex than ever before, with each country or market having its own inherent nature, it is now imperative for the international marketing manager to consider all options for success (profitability and stakeholder satisfaction). Undoubtedly, the rapid dynamism of the present-era international business environment (orchestrated by concerns about emerging markets, climate change, Brexit, and the COVID19 pandemic) has made it inevitable for the manager to consider more innovative ways to deliver value to customers, no matter their locations on the globe. This also makes conducting a more indepth analysis of the target market environment an essential first step in the international marketing program.
