Darbą sudaro trys pagrindinės dalys – teorinė, analitinė ir praktinė. Pirmoji šio darbo dalis skirta apžvelgti teorinius rinkodaros strategijos aspektus įėjimui į užsienio rinką. Šioje dalyje analizuojamas strateginis tarptautinės prekybos planavimas, nustatoma ir įvertinama tikslinė rinka, pasirenkami įėjimo į užsienio rinką būdai, analizuojami marketingo strategijos ir rinkodaros komplekso elementai bei pateikiamas teorinis bendrovės, įeinančios į užsienio rinką, modelis. Antroji darbo dalis skirta įmonės Tovuz-Baltiya eksporto veiklo ir įėjimo į Lietuvos rinką tyrimams. Vienas tyrimas buvo ekspertų interviu, o kitas – anketinis tyrimas – atliekamas analizuojant Tovuz-Baltiya galimybes patekti į Lietuvos vyno rinką. Tyrimo objektu pasirinktas Kauno miestas, nes šiame mieste Tovuz- Baltiya nori atidaryti savo vyno parduotuvę. Trečioji darbo dalis pristato skirtingas rinkodaros strategijas Tovuz-Baltiya – pozicionavimo, tikslinės rinkos ir rinkodaros komplekso elementų strategijas. Šis magistrinis darbas turi praktinės reikšmės, nes jo rezultatai gali būti naudojami kitoms panašaus dydžio kompanijoms, norinčioms įeiti į užsienio rinkas. 4 ABSTRACT Author of diploma paper: Parviz Jafarov Full title of diploma paper: Marketing strategy of Azerbaijani wine entering Lithuania Diploma paper advisor: Assoc. prof. dr.
