Why are so many companies trying to standardize their global marketing mixes? With examples show the limitations to this approach! by Stefan Lüer Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen, course: Transnationales Marketing, 18 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: As I start off I will try to define the word “globalisation”, so I can move on with my argumentation on basis of this definition. Via internet, just like in several journals, magazines and books, one can find numerous definitions and essays about what “globalisation” is supposed to be. Just to give the reader some impression on the variety, I wrote down a few of them. On an official homepage of the Canadian government is written: “The term “globalisation” describes the increased mobility of goods, services, labour, technology and capital throughout the world. Although “globalisation” is not a new development, it’s pace has increased with the advent of new technologies especially in the area of communications.” . At http://www.globalisation101.org you will read “Globalisation is a term used to describe the acceleration and intensification of economic interaction among the people, companies, and governments of different nations.”. In the opinion of Prof. Werner Antweiler “Globalisation is the process by which nationality and geographic location become increasingly irrelevant for economic activities.” . As you recognize, “Globalisation” is a word which lacks of a definite definition. Hence I have decided to define “Globalisation” as follows. Globalisation will be seen as a strategy of; on global basis operating corporations, with the focus on the establishment of a worldwide competitive advantage, through the use of local benefits and economies of scale. This definition is build upon the convergence-theory whereafter the interests and desires of various nations draw close. The reason is the technological and economical evolution which gradually makes cultural differences obsolete.
Globalization and Its Managerial Implications by C. Rao Pdf
Globalization is a force with a strong, analyzable impact on management practices. Rao and his contributors explore its implications and show how globalization's impacts differ by sector and region of the world. Taking a comprehensive and integrated approach to the managerial implications of globalization, they report research on six groups of critical issues: the environmental, micromanagerial, the exporter-importer interaction, market communications, sectoral management, and regional management. Academicians and executive policy makers concerned with the internationalization of business will find the book of special importance. It may also be used as a text supplement in graduate courses in international business and marketing. Rao's contributors focus primarily on the managerial implications of the globalization process that are of most concern to management today. Combining conceptualization with empirical research, they show how pervasive is the environmental force of globalization, and focus on such up-to-date concerns as relationship marketing and the complex issues of importer-exporter interaction. The result is a useful insight into the interaction processes that govern international trading. The contributors focus too on the unique impacts of globalization on information technologies, the services industry, and small and medium-sized firms. They also investigate the phenomena of newly emerging markets struggling to embrace free market systems and identify the challenges and opportunities these markets offer and how distinctly different they are from one market to another.
Globalization of Marketing Strategies in the Light of Segmentation and Cultural Diversity by Tomislaw Dalic Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 8, Maastricht University (-), course: Comparative Management, language: English, abstract: lobalization is one of words used nowadays to describe the convergence of cultures. Cultures are believed to move closer together as a result of increased travel, better communication methods and enhanced transportation opportunities (Hassan,1991). Companies try to anticipate this change by offering standardized products to a global audience. Examples of global products are credit cards, mobile phones, automobiles, food and beverages. The Big Mac, for example, is a standardized products market globally that it is used by economists to measure the purchase power of different currencies, the famous Big Mac Index. Marketers face many challenges in this global village but one of the most interesting challenge is how far can standardization of marketing efforts be pursued. Cultural differences are a logical barrier to standardization of the marketing strategies on a global scale. As there are countless cultures on this planet, there are also many different needs that must be satisfied by adapted marketing mixes. Therefore, standardization ignores the cultural differences for the sake of simplicity and cost savings. The knowledge of cultures and the understanding of cultures is important to develop effective marketing strategies across cultures. Simplifying cultures is done via segmentation. Segmentation helps clustering groups of people that might respond in the same manner to specially adapted marketing strategies. Segmentation plays a vital role in the process of standardizing marketing efforts. It helps standardizing customer groups. How far can companies go in standardizing their marketing efforts? This topic is discussed by many authors as mentioned later in this article and represent a dilemma global companies face. Either they simplify their marketing strate
Global Advertising in a Global Culture by Thomas H. P. Gould Pdf
Globalization stems from many sources, but as Thomas Gould makes clear, advertising is a primary driver of trans-global cultural change. Gould argues that advertising often carries unfiltered and unblocked cultural messages in addition to commercial speech; as such, it not only builds consumer demand to open new markets but also changes consumer expectations and values. At the same time, the evolution of increasingly targeted mobile and social marketing is transforming local and regional cultures into a new mix of global branding and individualized micro-space. Gould examines how advertising professionals negotiate these rocky and quickly-changing cultural terrains. He also explores how advertising—an increasingly global form of communication—is becoming a platform for change at the individual level, and as a direct consequence, at the social and political levels.

Emerging Issues in Global Marketing by James Agarwal,Terry Wu Pdf
This book examines emerging theories, frameworks, and applications of global marketing for the 21st century. It highlights how global marketing is changing in a globalized and digital economy that is fast increasing in complexity and uncertainty. The traditional approach to global marketing is no longer sufficient to address the emerging issues in global markets. Global companies need to challenge traditional assumptions in global marketing in an era of shifting political, cultural, economic, and technological changes. They need to take a fresh look at the contemporary threats and opportunities in markets, institutions, and technology and how they affect entry and expansion strategies through careful re-calibration of the marketing-mix. This book offers new insights for global marketing that addresses these issues. This book should be an ideal resource to both academic scholars and reflective practitioners globally such as CEOs and chief marketing officers as well as government officials and policy makers interested in formulating strategies/policies for global marketing activities in the face of a globalized and digitized economy. This well-crafted research volume is an excellent addition to the growing literature on new trends in international marketing. The authors present the latest insight on the impact of phenomena such as cross-border e-commerce and digital markets, and they discuss new tools for political risk assessment, international branding and more broadly the reconfiguring of marketing-mix strategies – A powerful reminder that the new global market remains a rugged landscape. - Alain Verbeke, McCaig Research Chair in Management and Editor-in-Chief Journal of International Business Studies, University of Calgary, Canada. Emerging trends in institutions, markets, and societies, along with new technological advances, are redefining the scope and strategy in global marketing. Professors Agarwal and Wu have assembled a remarkable collection of cutting-edge topics and issues that capture the shifting paradigm and contemporary developments in the global marketing field. This is an informative and timely resource that makes a valuable contribution, useful for both scholars and business practitioners of global marketing. - Constantine S. Katsikeas, Arnold Ziff Endowed Research Chair in Marketing & International Management, Editor-in-Chief Journal of International Marketing, University of Leeds, UK. This book presents new and cutting-edge thinking at a time when the traditional views of international marketing need to be scrapped. Convergence forces are creating new opportunities as well as threats on a daily basis, and marketing practitioners as well as scholars must be forewarned as well as forearmed on how to deal with these changes. The real growth is coming from the emerging nations, and the theories that provided sufficient insights ten years ago have been completely outmoded by the ever-accelerating rate of innovation and technological change as well as the pressures to address the needs of all of the firm’s relevant stakeholders. The strategic insights provided here are absolutely invaluable. Don’t miss an opportunity to read this book!! - John B. Ford, Professor of Marketing & International Business, Eminent Scholar & Haislip-Rohrer Fellow, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Advertising Research, Old Dominion University, USA.
Global vs. Local Marketing. An Analysis of the Usefulness for Global Companies by Valea Adams Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, language: English, abstract: This seminar paper evaluates the dimensions of standardized global marketing and local marketing for global companies by starting with a short insight into globalization and global firms in general, followed by an illustration of the global-local dilemma, that forces a decision on the choice between selling the same product across all boundaries and the implementation of local marketing strategies in order to respond to regional differences. The term paper continues with an explanation of local and standardized global marketing, exemplified by the global players McDonald’s and Apple and concludes with a comparison of both approaches. The debate on standardization and adaptation in marketing has sparked a debate for decades. Dating back to Levitt, who is one of the leading advocates of the standardization approach in marketing, many other researchers followed Levitt’s argument about the homogenization of consumer markets. However, critics of this thesis argue, that just a just a few products can be easily standardized in a global manner. Kotler argues that national marketing can’t be simply extended to an international level as consumer behavior significantly varies depending on the country. Today, virtually every major company is forced to compete in the global market. And global marketers need to navigate through diverse cultures that go along with unpredicted rules and differences. Companies that are taking their business global and aim to successfully sell their products and services in foreign markets face many challenges. The most challenging decision in this progress is the degree of standardization or adaptation in the firm’s operations. Many companies have understood the importance of global activities.
Forget about dot-bombs and other excesses of the now lamented New Economy. Welcome instead the global Internet, the strategic vehicle that leading companies use to inform, market, sell, and support their worldwide business initiatives every minute of every day.In this succinct but informative guide to doing business in new markets, both international and domestical multicultural, globalization strategist Don DePalma characterizes the intersection of the Internet and global markets as the "Eighth Continent," a virtual landmass inhabited by almost a billion Web consumers and business users around the planet. DePalma combines his own experience as a strategist, consultant, and analyst with that of experts and practitioners at companies that have successfully globalized their operations.
This book explores the causes and consequences of market failure in bridging societal differences to create a shared economy. It questions the current world order and evaluates socio-economic gains in reference to the social origins of the economic agents. With a need to counterbalance economic growth with social equality and environmental sustainability, the book proposes innovative approaches to address key questions on the contemporary global economy such as, "Is the Global socio-economic order supportive of the pursuit of rational and enlightened self -interest?", "Is it a unipolar power centre and neoliberal economic policy regime?", "Can the system reinvent itself?", etc. One approach encourages going back to the golden past and making things "great again", insisting that history has ended and the failures of old global institutions be blamed on the "Clash of Civilizations". Another approach advocates giving up the intellectual comfort zone of elegant but irrelevant neo-liberal explanations of global challenges and asking new questions that take academic debate to the public square. The book examines the internal challenges and contradictions that cause disintegration and proposes alternative ideas and practices in moving the global community beyond the free market regime. The book will appeal to students and academics of development studies, political economy, political science, sociology, as well as policymakers and public opinion makers interested in creating a new egalitarian global society.
Global Marketing and Global Human Resources Management - Internationale Unternehmensführung by Lena Schmidtmann Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Fulda, 3 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction The moving of the business world into an interdependent global economic system is referred to as globalization1. The principal goal of a globalization strategy is successful economic development in different countries, but we see also the influence of the globalization process on social, political and culture life. One of most difficult barriers for this process is cultural values and norms of civilisations. Despite of process of market and production globalization and as of world modernisation that could guide to universal civilisation, the countries are different, because their evolution process and culture are different. Even if there is no reason to think, that these differences bring to conflict between civilisations in future, it is necessary to know, that making contact between various cultural societies demands great effort. In following paper we will discuses about a global marketing management, a new-product development and implementation at the global market, and also about global human resources management. We will illustrate some aspects to which a manager of an international firm must do attention doing business. We look at such elements, which constitute a firm's global managing such as: brands and their attributes, distribution system, exactly said, differences in distribution system, then we look at principal facts challenging a new-product development. Each product must be viewed in light of how it is perceived by each culture with which it comes in contact. An established product in one culture may be considered an innovation in another is critical in planning and developing consumer products for foreign markets. If we will discuss about managing functions, we will examine also global human resource management.
