Module title

International Marketing

Prescription

Designed to provide students with an understanding of marketing from an international perspective. The increased access to new markets across the world means that both opportunities and threats face marketers in the global context. Understanding cultural issues remains a key challenge, along with the ability to communicate effectively to perhaps a very different target audience. International marketing examines a range of case examples in a number of countries in the rapidly changing global trends. This module will enable students to analyse marketing issues in an international context by providing a range of theoretical frameworks, examples and allowing students to apply relevant theories.
