Content
This course, exclusively dedicated to CEMS students, will tackle the strategic marketing issues faced by local and international firms when they decide to market their brands internationally.
Developing at an international level is not an easy task for any company in a global world that has become more and more digital. Competition is coming from everywhere and different consumer habits and cultures need to be understood by marketers to be successful. The level of globalization and digitalization is also different per region of the world and this has an influence on the marketing strategies that can be implemented.
Objectives of the course are to 1) understand the impact of the digital revolution on international marketing strategies; 2) review the different issues faced by companies when marketing their brands internationally; 3) learn how to develop a marketing strategy and program for a company willing to develop internationally;
This year, we will analyse the international expansion of a digital start-up to several European countries, as main teamwork assignment.
