In other words, international marketing is the application of marketing principles to expand trade across national boundaries. This implies an extension of the techniques used in the home country of a firm. Advances in technology and communication have facilitated cross-border trade and business. For companies seeking to go global, however, there are a number of issues at stake. Doing business in a foreign location is not the same as doing business in one’s home country. One needs to examine the international marketing environment in detail. There could be significant legal, cultural and political barriers as well. The same mix of products, marketing strategies and pricing that works so well in the home country may be a complete failure in a foreign market. Therefore, it is important that the potential market is studied and analyzed carefully. Product and market segmentation is an essential step in that direction. It is also important to know the standards and product rules and regulations followed in the country and the cultural habits prevailing in the target market. This book, International Marketing , deals with the issues mentiond above and gives a new prespective on the emerging trends. It also looks at how liberalization has changed the global marketing scenario and the role of international marketing institutions. The book will give you an idea about India’s froeign trade and balance of payment. The learning material in this book, International Marketing , has been presented in the self-learning format, wherein each unit begins with an Introduction to the topic followed by an outline of the Objectives . The detailed content is then presented in a simple, structured and easy-to-grasp style interspersed with ‘ Check Your Progress ’ questions to test the student’s understanding. At the end of each unit, a Summing Up and a list of Key Terms have been provided for recapitulation.
