The Scope and Challenges
of International Marketing

marketing management activities are actual:
1.
In the relations with customers there is emergent real
time management, online communication, internet based
organization, faster product diffusion
2.
Transferable market is based on global customer needs,
with strong power of distribution channels, economic
power of a few lead countries and globalized competition.
3.
Paradox of high level of product standardization and
product adaptation, with short innovation cycles, high
costs of product development, fast changing technology
and powerful brand policy.

International marketing is a hard work....
„Making sales calls is no
vacation even in Paris when
you´are been there ten times
before. But international
marketing is important work.
It can enrich you, your family,
your company, and your
country. And, when
international marketing is
done well, by large
companies or small, the
needs and wants of
customers in other lands are
well understood, and
prosperity and peace are
promoted along the way.“

International
marketing is defined
as the performance of

company´s goods and
services to consumer
