MRKT 587.1 Page 3 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a systematic treatment of marketing on a global scale. The course will focus on six key areas: A conceptual overview of global marketing How to analyze, understand, and be more effective in the global marketing environment Targeting global markets Sourcing and global production strategy Formulating global marketing strategies The global marketing mix Managing and leading the global marketing effort The objective of the course is to develop your knowledge and understanding of the global marketing environment and of concepts and tools, and theory that will prepare you to take responsibility for successful global market penetration of your organization. The perspective of the course is managerial: i.e. the ability to identify opportunity, resolve problems, and implement solutions and programs. This course will provide graduate students with an understanding of marketing planning and strategy from a global perspective. The world should be viewed as a marketplace with a resulting need for familiarity with various environmental similarities and differences. These may necessitate adaptation and/or standardization of marketing programs, strategies and plans from nation to nation. A major focus of this course will be on strategic marketing management techniques, issues, strategies and problems within a global marketing framework. As well, an understanding and appreciation of world cultures, socioeconomic, and legal/political conditions which have a profound effect on a US firm’s target market selection and marketing strategy development, will be established. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course, graduate students will acquire the following: 1. Understand and appreciate the role of global marketing in the highly interrelated and competitive world markets. 2. Become familiar with socio-economic, cultural, political and legal environments in the globalizing markets. 3. Develop the skills and understanding needed to make marketing decisions in the global market place in regard to product policy, pricing strategy, channels of distribution and promotional programs and organizational arrangements. 4. Learn skills needed to overcome visible and invisible trade barriers, which hinder U.S. firm’s performance in global markets. 5. Learn to develop lucrative market segments overseas and carry out marketing research to find out needs and wants of foreign customers. 6. Develop marketing plans, organizational set-ups, and control procedures and mechanism for global markets. MRKT 587.1 Page 4 GRADING PROCEDURE: The course will have a lecture, case, short incidents, and important global marketing issues discussion format. Each student is expected to be prepared to discuss all cases and issues assigned during the term. In addition to class participation, each student will be graded on his/her performance on case presentations/critiques, short incidents, term project and a mid-term exam. Although attendance is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that students do not miss classes since class participation and discussions can be an important component of the course grade. Students are strongly urged to contact the instructor ahead of time for possible delays in meeting deadlines.

The topic of your project must be approved by the instructor. Projects incorporating field data (i.e., data from company files, databanks, government agencies, interviews with executives, consumers, etc.) are preferred although analytical reports based on published sources of information are acceptable. The key requirement of this project is that it contains analytical content. The following constraints and rules will apply: 1. From the following list, select a topic of interest that will advance your career or assist you in achieving your objectives. a. The global marketing audit. Design a marketing audit that a company can use to determine where it is in the Kaynak typology of the stages of development of the global company and what it should do with the information. The article by Kaynak, “Global Marketing: Theory and Practice” outlines stages of evolution of a company. From domestic to international to multinational to global. Locate a company (or companies) in this typology to identify its past position, present position, and future direction of development. Focus specifically on the company’s marketing strategy (target markets, positioning, and marketing mix strategy), financial strategy, manufacturing or sourcing strategy, and structure. How has the strategy evolved, what changes have been made, and why? MRKT 587.1 Page 8 The thesis of the Kaynak paper is that every company should be a global corporation. How does this apply to the company you have studied. Specifically, what changes should the company make to improve its performance and effectiveness. b. The report should be typed, doubled spaced. It should not exceed 25 pages, including tables, graphs, exhibits and appendices. It is due on the last day of class. c. Research proposal project. You are required to submit two (2) copies of a typed research project proposal. The proposal should: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. State the problem or topic you plan to investigate, and your “working title”. (This may be changed for the completed report), Describe the objective of your report, Identify your sources of data, Briefly describe your proposed method of investigation, i.e., interviewing, company files, library research, etc., Describe any planned data analysis, Indicate your expected findings. This proposal will be reviewed and approved by the instructor. An approved proposal will be returned to you and MUST be included with your report. DUE DATE: Five weeks after the first class meeting. Length: max. – 2 pages, min., 1 page. d. The report will be due on the last day of the term. All reports will be kept on file by the instructor. If you wish to have comments on your report in addition to a grade, please include a self-addressed envelope. Comments and your grade will be returned to you in this envelope. If you would prefer to have comments made directly on your report, please submit a duplicate copy of your report plainly marked “Duplicate – to be returned to author with comments” and addressed mailing envelope. e. Reports will be graded and evaluated strictly on quality and not on quantity. One important aspect of quality is brevity and economical presentation. Quality is achieved when reports are authoritative, well organized and written, creative, accurate, well documented and interesting. Reports are authoritative when they are focused and based on a thorough survey of published information and/or a survey of people who have knowledge and experience on the reported topic. f. The format of each report will depend on the style and objective of the author(s). Every paper must, however, include the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Title page: author, course name and number, date, and author’s address and phone, fax and e-mail numbers. Term report proposal with instructor’s approval. Acknowledgments – Indicate your sources of help and assistance. (For example, if you interviewed executives in XYZ company, acknowledge their help by listing their name and title.) Table of contents. (The topic headings, appendices, etc.) Executive summary. (The essence if your report summarized in a maximum of two pages). This is an important part of your report and should receive great care and attention. Identify your topic, summarize your data, your analysis and your conclusions and recommendations. Introduction. (The focus of your report, an overview of your methods of investigation, etc.) The body of the report. (Data analysis and interpretation) Conclusions and/or recommendations. MRKT 587.1 Page 9 9. 10. g. Footnotes and bibliography. (All sources of data and references must be fully cited using a standard format of orderly presentation and documentation. (A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theme and Dissertations, by Kate L. Turbian, University of Chicago Press, is an excellent guide.) Reports should be typewritten and double-spaced on one side of the paper. General Requirements and Comments 1. 2. The use of charts, tables, drawings, graphs, etc. is highly recommended. Try as much as possible to clarify and simplify your report with visual aids. Oral presentation. The last two class sessions will be devoted to oral presentations. You will be given an assigned date and time for your presentation. You should rehearse so that you can report and leave time for questions in your assigned time period. You are expected to participate in presentation and evaluations of the other presentations. Your evaluations will be given to each presenting team. COMMON ERRORS ENCOUNTERED IN STUDENT CASE REPORTS (Please try to avoid these) 1. Students simply repeat and rehash data provided in the case. Use data, don't just give it back. 2. Some students conclude that the data are inadequate and no decision may be reached. It is better to use what you have or get more from the library or from data banks and from company sources. 3. Failure to deal adequately with numbers. If you are given numerical data, be sure to analyze them using quantitative analysis procedures such as trend, cross-classification, pricing, cost break-even and margin analyses, and other methods you know. 4. Failure to pursue analysis to a logical conclusion. Don't stop halfway through; cover all the important issues. Remember that your analysis of the data is more important than the solution you recommend or the conclusions at which you arrive. 5. Failure to organize report adequately. Reports should begin with a short problem statement, move to an analysis section with appropriate headings and subheadings, and end with a set of specific recommendations. Some students simply string together a series of random compound sentences. This is not acceptable. Your analysis should flow and have continuity and it must be logical and consistent. 6. Failure to be decisive. This is especially important when you are making your final recommendations. Also, when you encounter conflicting data, don't hedge, state your assumptions and fly with them. A bad decision is better than no decision. MRKT 587.1 7. Page 10 Excessive grammatical errors. Avoid incomplete and awkward sentences. Pay particular attention to your sentence structuring. Be careful with tense; avoid the use of I, we, it. Once a student employs those words they are often overused. Also, avoid colloquial expressions. Do not shorten words. 8. Failure to read report after it is typed. Correct all grammatical errors and be sure all pages and tables are included in the proper order. Submit a clean and tidy report. Don't forget that you are portraying an image of yourself through your written report. 9. Late submission of assignments. Be punctual in handing in the assignments. Don't forget that we are all relying on you on that day. Your delay, or worse, no show, will disrupt the class and can have a detrimental effect on your final grade. INTERNATIONAL MARKETING CASES: PURPOSE, USE, AND GUIDE TO ANALYZING THEM There are essentially two different approaches to education. If one polarizes the issue, one approach presupposes that education should consist of accumulating important pieces of knowledge in classified and systematized form. It teaches accepted truths. The other approach presupposes that education consists of acquiring the ability to act in the presence of new experience. It is concerned with precedents only so far as they lead to initiative.* It regards the power of thinking and not the acquisition of facts as the ultimate educational ideal. In our dynamic, fast-changing global environment, emphasis on the latter approach is necessary. The case itself consists of a problem or situation that the organization in question has to solve in some way. Cases act as a substitute for experience. The teacher must develop an appreciation among students of the complexity of modern business problems. The student must place, or be taught to place, himself or herself mentally in a position of responsibility when proposing solutions to the problem if that is not his or her natural bent. The process of learning must switch from one in which the teacher lectures and the student passively absorbs to one in which teacher and student are partners in a joint process of learning and the teacher, in part, acts as a catalyst. In analyzing an international marketing case, the following questions are listed as a guide to the student: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. What are the objectives of the organization or group involved? What is (are) the major problem(s)? What are the chief subproblems? What are the pertinent pieces of information contained in the case? What are all the feasible alternatives for a solution to the problem(s) and subproblems? What information not contained in the case would you like to have to aid in selecting from the various possible solutions? Is this additional information worth obtaining from a time and cost viewpoint? How would you use this information? How would you go about obtaining this additional information? What specific research tools, if any, would you use? What assumptions are you making in the face of the unavailable information? What is the reasoning behind these assumptions? What are all the advantages and disadvantages of each feasible solution? Which alternative would you finally choose and why? Given the chosen alternative, what plan of action would you recommend as optimal? The format for international marketing case analysis is stated below.** MRKT 587.1 1. Page 11 Analysis of the Situation Do not restate the case. Emphasize only the information that you think is critical to your decision process. Two levels of analysis are useful. The first, the macro level, attempts to understand the structure of the international marketing situation for all the firms involved. The second, the micro level, looks at the position of each firm in the particular situation, and at the strategy of each. 1.1 Macro Level. (Country Level Analysis): Nature of the market (region, country, market segment(s), and subsegment(s) including uncontrollable factors such as: -Environment: economic, cultural, social, technological, political, and legal -Market size -Consumer segments and their wants or needs -Product segments -Channels of distribution -Other relevant macro factors pertaining to the case. 1.2 Micro Level. (Company Level Analysis): Current marketing objectives of each competitor firm: Current strategy: Target market, Product, Promotion, Place (distribution), and Price Strengths and weaknesses of each competitor 2. Identification of the Problem and/or Opportunity It is obviously crucial to identify the main problem correctly; since the case solution focuses on whatever has been stated as the problem. One tip that has proved to be helpful is to identify whatever subproblems may exist, then to check if all subproblems relate to the main problem. If they do not then it is worthwhile to think again whether the main problem as stated is the correct one. 3. Identification and Evaluation of Alternative Strategies Make sure alternative strategies are complete and consistent, and discuss pros and cons of each one in point form. Only realistic options should be presented. In some cases, decisions may have to be made to reduce the number of alternatives. Also state any reasonable assumptions you are making where you lack information. 4. Recommended Strategy with Justifications Elaborate on the alternative(s) that you think is/are best for the firm to use in the immediate future. 5. Suggested Plan for Implementation of the Proposed Strategy This includes timing, organizational change, and other issues critical to your carrying out the proposed course of action. * Arthur Stone Dewing, "An Introduction to the Use of Cases," in the Case Method of Instruction, Cecil E.
