$NTERNAT$ONAL MARKET$NG AN OVERV$EW
5hile practicing international marketing, a company goes beyond
e*porting ! becomes much more directly inoled in the local working
enironment within a country of market. The International marketes is
likely to hae its own sales subsidies and participate in deeloping entire
marketing strategies for foreign markets.
Important challenge for the international marketing phase of a firm
because the need to unders tand the different enironment the company
needs to operate in understanding different cultural, economic, ! political
enironments becomes wassory for success.
International marketing is defined as "the performance of marketing
actiities across two a mole countries.
In broad terms international marketing is a subset of international
business .
International 4usiness is a creatie social process of commercial and
economic actiities that cross national frontiers. It concerns the
international moements of goods and serices, capital, employees, and
technology, importing@e*porting, cross border transactions in intellectual
proper ty &patents , trade makes, know how, copy right materials etc. ) ia
licensing and franchising, inestments in physical and financial assets in
foreign countries, contract manufacture or assembly of goods abroad for
local sale or for e*port to other nations, buying and selling in foreign
countries, the establishments of foreign warehousing and distribution
system and the import to one foreign country for subseFuent local sales.

%ll the basic tools and concepts of domestic market are releant to
international business. Infact, international markets are the e*tension of
domestic markets. 4usiness can be conceied as an integral part of two
process i.e. technical and social. In regard to technical process domest ic
and international market are identical. The technical process includes
non@human faction i.e. product, price, cost, brand etc.
In social process, human elements are inoled i.e. the behaiour patterns
of consumer and gien characteristics of a society, such as customs,attitudes, alues, etc., and it is obious that these social process differs
from country to country and different from domestic markets.
The basic purpose of the business actiities can be defined as to create
customers and to satisfy their needs and wants through e*change process
and through professional skills or techniFue and retain them on long term
basis for mutual benefi t at profit . The emergence of global economy and
global trade market has transformed the world into a integrated world
economy.

risk.
1ifferent and communication systems are normally comple* and rigid in
foreign market than domestic market.
isk leels are always higher due to political situations, commercial and
financial regulations and its fluctuation and aderse moements.

THE PROCESS OF $NTERNAT$ONAL$SAT$ON
The company who is operating in domestic markets may isit e*hibition
and fairs or participate in the international fairs held in foreign or in
domestic market where it may arise due to non@aailability of reFuired
Fuality of product and price differentials between local and foreign
supplies. Initially, the company may work through an intermediary i.e.
state bodies or big corporate companies engaged in international business.
5ith the increased knowledge and e*perience, the company may acFuired
detailed knowledge of business and then it may start doing its own
business direct ly with the buyer9sel ler. It may set@up its own branches ,
subsidiaries, its own !1, and establishes production unit in foreign
countries and undertake promotional actiities and adertisement. Then

the company may enter into foreign market through licensing to produce
its brands, or franchising or local manufactures.
The ne*t stage the company may undertake is joint enture with foreign

MARKET ENTRY STRATEG$ES
+*porting to a foreign market is a strategy many companies follow for at
least some of their markets. /ince many countries do not offer a large
enough opportunity to justify local production, e*porting allows a
company to centrally manufacture its products for seeral markets and,
therefore, obtain economies of scale.

L$CENS$NG AS AN ENTRY STRATEGY
Dnder licensing, a company assigns the right to a patent &which protects a
product, technology, or process) or a trademark &which protects a product
name) to another company for a fee or royalty. Dsing licensing as a
method of market entry, a company can gain market presence without an
eFuity inestment. The foreign company. Cr license, gains the right to
commercially e*ploit the patent or trademark either on an e*clusie right
to a certain geographic region) or unrestricted basis.

Fran-0i+in4
Aranchising is a special form of licensing in which the franhisor makes a
total marketing program aailable, including the brand name, logo,
products , and method of operat ion. Dsually, the franchise agreement is
more comprehensie than a regular licensing agreement inasmuch as the
total operation of the franchisee is prescribed.

L,-a )anu5a-turin4 a+ an entr/ +trate4/
% common and widely practiced form of entry is the local production of a
companyHs products. (any companies find it to their adantage to
manufacture locally instead of supplying the particular market with
products produced elsewhere. 3umerous factors such as local costs,
market size, tariffs, laws, and political considerations may affect a choice
to manufacture locally. The actual type of local production depends on
the arrangement madeG it may be contract manufacturing, assembly, or
fully integrated production. /ince local production represents a greater
commitment to a market than other entry strategies, i t deseres
considerable attention before a final decision is made.
#,int Venture+
-ompanies entering foreign markets not only hae to decide on the most
suitable entry strategy, they also need to arrange ownership either as a
wholly owned subsidiary or as a joint enture. Dnder a joint enture &BV)
arrangement, the foreign company inites an outside partner to share
stock ownership in the new unit. The particular participation of the

% more recent phenomenon is the deelopment of a range of strategic
alliances. %lliances are different from traditional joint entures in which
tow partners contribute a fi*ed amount of resources and the enture
deelops on its own. In an alliance, two entire firms pool theirr resources
directly in collaborations that goes beyond the limits of a joint enture.
%lthough a new entity may be formed, it is not a reFuirement. /ometimes,
the alliance is supported by some eFuity acFuisition of one or both of the
partners . 3 an al liance , partners bring a part icular skil l of resource ,
usually one this is complementary, and by joining forces both are
e*pected to profit from the otherHs e*perience. Typically, alliances
inole either distribution access, technology transfers, or production
technology, with each partner contributing a different element to the
enture.
