The course explores the development of international marketing programmes from the determination of objectives and methods of organization through the execution of research, advertising, distribution, and production activities. Students will not only examine the similarities and differences in marketing functions as related to the cultural, economic, political, social, and physical environments, but also will consider the changes in marketing systems and the adoption of marketing philosophies.

During the course students will define the main challenges of multilateral negotiations and learn to apply strategies to address them. The history of such negotiations is one of both successes and failures and our purpose is to learn as much as possible from both – with the goal being the development of a series of criteria necessary for a successful multilateral outcome.
