Synopsis:

This book is suitable for Undergraduates and Postgraduates/MBA courses in International Marketing, Export Marketing and International Trade.

This book comprehensively covers both international marketing and export management. This is a focus on marketing decisions and management processes involved in exporting and not simply a 'how to' treatment of technical export details.

This 6th edition has been written in response to the continually rapid changes in international marketing and the new challenges that are arising, including increased coverage of cultural differences, logistics, supply chain management and the impact of the internet on international marketing and exports.

There is increased coverage of the 2 most important emerging markets of the the 21st century; China and India. New cases from companies including Dell, Unilever and Microsoft help students apply the theory.

From the Back Cover:

New opportunities and challenges are arising in global marketing and exporting.  Opportunities are expanding as international trade continues to grow rapidly, and e-commerce enables even the smallest businesses to find potential customers and means of distribution across the globe. Challenges are resulting from increased competition, disruptions in trade flows caused by military actions, anxiety over terrorism and global warming, and health hazards.  The effects of business activity on all sectors of society, and particularly on the environment, are highly scrutinised, whilst factors including ethics, social responsibility, public policy, and company responses are an essential concern.

 

International Marketing and Export Management focuses on the marketing decisions and management processes involved in developing export and other types of international marketing operations.  The key procedural aspects and activities required in exporting, which the manager must know, are covered. Alongside an emphasis on exporting as a marketing activity, all other modes of foreign market entry are also covered thoroughly.
