Module overview
International marketing plays a key role in constructing and communicating the value of an idea, experience, brand or product to the markets and wider audience in wider global contexts. The aim of this module is to provide a theoretically driven set of themes and cases which will provide a foundation for understanding the role international marketing plays in business and society.
The module uses case studies to strengthen the subject matter and instil knowledge, intellectual, practical and transferable skills. Case studies will be drawn from the perspective of the specific contexts (China, Korea, Japan, Middle East, Africa). The module also attempts to decentre the perspective from mainly Euro-centric into a more inclusive approach.
Objectives and learning outcomes of the module
