International marketing presentations: some options

Abstract

Explores advantages and disadvantages arising from standardised approaches to international marketing. Questions what the essential nature of international marketing is, stating that its most obvious characteristic is that it allows for the exchange of goods and services between producer and user across international boundaries. Proposes that data should be collated across the marketing mix to ensure that an objective analysis is made. Hints that there may be some justification for applying the type of ‘localised’ strategy described to a few highly specialised markets.
