Print: 9781526848598/ Ebook:9781526848604

International Marketing guides students to understand the importance of international marketing for companies of every size and how going international can enhance value and growth and provides a solid understanding of the key principles and practices of international marketing.

The new edition explores the current and potential future impact of the economic, political and social changes of the last decade that have changed the landscape of global business such as the rise of China as a major player in the international market; emerging markets in Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America; Covid 19; the move away from in-store retailing to online shopping, and an increased awareness of ethical issues, social responsibility and climate change by companies and customers alike.

This text is also shaped by the belief that rather than viewing the world as one market and looking for cross-cultural similarities, a truly successful international marketing strategy considers cultural differences and adapts to individual markets.
