BADM 573-01, International Marketing, Spring 2009

Abstract

The international marketing course is designed to provide students with (a) familiarity with the problems and perspectives of marketing across national boundaries and within foreign countries; (b) insights into environmental perspectives of doing business outside the home country; (c) analytical ability to make marketing decisions facing all firms (exporters, licensor/licensee, joint venture firms, firms with overseas subsidiaries) engaged in business outside the U.S.; and (d) knowledge of tools and practices for structuring and controlling marketing programs related to overseas business. Given that this is the only international marketing course available to you at Rhodes; it will be very broadly based. Further, it will depend upon the other international business courses to provide more specific information for their disciplines—management, finance and accounting. If you desire more depth in any area of marketing, please let me know, and I’ll provide you with additional readings and/or discussion.
