I. The nature of international marketing
1. Introduction to international marketing
« International marketing consists in identifying and satisfying consumer needs abroad; better than the national and international competitors, under the constraints of the internationalization stage of the firm and the global environment. » (Nathalie Prime)

Differences between domestic and international marketing
Domestic InternationalResearch data is available in a single language and is usually easily accessed
Research data is generally in foreign languages and may be extremely difficult to obtain and interpret
Business is transacted in a single currency
Many currencies are involved, with wide exchange rate fluctuations
Head office employees will normally possess detailed knowledge of the home market
Head office employees might only possess and outline knowledge of the characteristic foreign markets
Promotional messages need to consider just a single national culture
Numerous cultural differences must be taken into account
Market segmentation occurs within a single country
Market segments might be defined across the same type of consumer in many different countries.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Differences between domestic and international marketing (continued)
Domestic InternationalCommunication and control are immediate and direct
International communication and control might be difficult
Business laws and regulations are clearly understood
Foreign laws and regulations might not be clear
Business is conducted in a single language
Multilingual communication is requires
Business risks can usually identified and assessed
Environments may be so unstable that it is extremely difficult to identify and assess risks
Planning and organizational control systems can be simple and direct
The complexity of international trade often necessitates the adoption of complex and sophisticated planning, organization and control systems
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Differences between domestic and international marketing (continued)
Domestic InternationalFunctional specialization within a marketing department is possible
International marketing managers require a wide range of marketing skills
Distribution and credit control are straightforward
Distribution and credit control may be extremely complex
Selling and delivery documentation is routine and easy to understand
Documentation is often diverse and complicated due to meeting different border regulations
Distribution channels are easy to monitor and control
Distribution is often carried out by intermediaries, so is much harder to monitor
Competitors’ behavior is easily predicted
Competitors’ behavior is harder to observe, therefore less predictable
New product development can be geared to the needs of the home
New product development must take account of all the markets the product is sold in.

International marketing and exporting
International marketing is more than exporting, because it involves:
• Marketing products that have been manufactured or assembled in the target country
• Establishing a permanents presence in the foreign country
• Licensing and franchising• Sourcing components from foreign states.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
International and multinational marketing
International marketing means marketing across national frontiers.
Multinational marketing means the integrated coordination of the firm’s marketing activities throughout the world.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
2. Reasons for marketing abroad
Economies of scale and scopeExistence of lucrative markets in foreign
countriesSaturated markets in the home countryHigh R&D costsInternational opportunitiesLess competitionNew trade agreements…
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
3. Exporting
Exporting means the sale in a foreign market of an item produced, stored or processed in the supplying firm’s home country.
Two kinds of exporting: passive and active
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
3. Exporting (continued)
Sources of foreign demand (passive exporting):
• Non-availability of appropriate products from domestic producers
• Price differentials between imported and locally supplied items;
• Exotic images attaching to foreign products;• Inefficiency of local distribution systems, political
disruptions, industrial action, or other factors that prevent local firms from supplying goods.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Exporting (continued)
Reasons for active exporting:• The product has reached the end of its life
cycle at home• Less competition • Easy access to major customers• Export increases turnover.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Example: Manchester United
MUFC has more fans abroad than at home
Merchandising: clothing, shoes, sports equipment
Manchester United Magazine, Manchester United on Video
TV Channel - MUTV

Global Business Logistics
• Important issues to consider:– To gain a competitive advantage, global
sourcing is a given for companies engaging in global marketing strategies.
– The longer the supply chain, the more cooperation and coordination is required between production, marketing, purchasing and the logistics management group.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
The Magnitude of Global Logistics Activity
• World trade is growing as fast logistics systems have had the effect of shrinking the world, empowering competitive trade.
• Foreign trade has grown in tonnage and in value for the United States and other nations.
• Lower labor costs from international outsourcing is a critical component of the supply chain.
• Focused manufacturing fits well into an international logistics strategy.

Global Markets and Global Corporations
• Trade barriers continue to fall, accelerating global business activity.
• Global markets result from the general homogenization of global needs and wants.– Local needs suborned to lower-priced, higher-
quality products.– Preferences for international products can
also be related to attempts to copy other more prosperous cultures.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Global Competitive Strategy
• To effectively serve global markets, firms should consider adopting integrated worldwide strategies.
• These firms are more likely to search for global sourcing for materials and components, depots, assembly, distribution centers, and logistics.
• Global firms typically design synchronous strategies around technology, marketing, manufacturing, and logistics.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Customer Service Strategies for Global Markets: Four Characteristics
1. Marketing becomes standardized yet customized.
2. Product life cycles shorten, sometimes to less than one year.
3. Outsourcing and offshore manufacturing are becoming more prevalent.
4. Marketing and manufacturing activities and strategies tend to converge and be better coordinated in firms operating globally.4
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Customer Service Strategies for Global Markets
• Logistics networks tend to become more expansive and complex.
• Thus, lead times and inventory may rise.• Logistics activities must be operated as a
system to provide a countervailing force.• Most importantly, the service needs of
internationally-dispersed customers must drive the design and implementation of the logistics system.

Critical Factors and Key Trends: Importance of Competitive Environment
• Michael Porter’s study concludes that “a nation’s ability to upgrade its existing advantages to the next level of technology and productivity is the key to international (global) success.”
• Porter feels that the US loss of global market share in advanced fields of transportation and technology shows the US slipping recently in international trade.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Critical Factors and Key Trends: Porter’s Model
• Factor conditions– Ability to transform basic factors into
competitive advantage
• Demand conditions– Market size, buyer sophistication, exposure
• Related and supporting industries– Partners in supply chain, manufacturers
• Company strategy, structure, and rivalry– Market structure and nature of competition

• 5th --struggling 1985-1992
• 6th --liberalization 1993 onwards
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Critical Factors and Key Trends: Changes in Logistics and Transportation
• Deregulation of the U.S. Ocean Liner Industry– Shipping Act of 1984 and Ocean Shipping
Reform Act of 1998 gave freedom to set rates, establish service and capacity on shipping lanes.
– Ocean rates now more flexible to move in response to the laws of supply and demand.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Critical Factors and Key Trends: Changes in Logistics and Transportation
• Intermodalism– Joint use of two or more transportation
modes.– Micro bridge moves logistics capabilities from
port-to-port through port-to-point directly to point-to-point.
• Shipment Control– High tech permits tracking & diversion of
shipments.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Types of International Intermodalism
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Critical Factors and Key Trends: Changes in Logistics and Transportation
• Free Trade Agreements– NAFTA is the most current.– EU is the 15 country European equivalent.– APEC is the Pacific equivalent.
• Remaining customs barriers can impair logistics activities where they remain.
• Cultural differences can result in shipment delays where they are not understood.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Critical Factors and Key Trends: Changes in Logistics and Transportation
• Currency Fluctuations– The exchange rate of dollars to other
international currencies affects both the volume and direction of global trade.
– The effects of weak or strong dollar positions carry through to marketing and logistics.

• The Pacific Rim nations have emerged as key players in the global business environment.
• In the first three months of 2000, imports from Pacific Rim countries accounted for 32.9 percent of total U.S. imports.
• Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore purchased 24.7 percent of U.S. exports in this same period.
• Japan is the leading regional supplier, followed by China, Taiwan, and Korea.
• Low labor and high quality characterizes these Asian nation’s raw materials and finished goods.

Global Transportation Options
• More complex than domestic due to distance and number of parties involved
• Major international transportation modes– Ocean– Air– Motor– Rail
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Global Transportation Options: Ocean
• Ocean structure– Liner – scheduled service; regular routes– Charter – contract service; no set routes– Private – service firm’s own logistics needs
• Include bulk, container, RO-RO
• Most pervasive and important global mode
• Revenues are substantial

Global Transportation Options: Air
• Speed allows large compression of transit times.
• Linkages with package delivery and courier services provide true point-to-point service.
• Rates have traditionally restricted cargo to low density, high value goods.
• Volume is approximately 1% of movements, but nearly 20% of the value.
• New air freighters can carry up to 13 TEUs (20 foot containers).

Major International Cargo Air Carriers
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Global Transportation Options: Motor
• Global motor characteristics of speed, safety, reliability, and accessibility basically the same as for domestic transportation.
• Container sizes are largely standardized into 20, 40, 45, 48, and 53 foot boxes.
• Paperwork can be streamlined by having a bonded warehouse seal the container at point of shipment and not opened until it reaches its destination country.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Global Transportation Options: Rail
• International rail movements are problematic.
• Rail gauges often vary.
• Containers maybe transloaded from rail to ocean to rail and/or motor if standard international sizes are used.
• Maritime bridge movements gain speed by using an intermodal strategy.

Strategic Channel Intermediaries
• Foreign Freight Forwarders
• Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carriers
• Export Management Companies
• Export Trading Companies
• Customs House Brokers
• Ship Brokers• Ship Agents• Export Packers• Ports
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Strategic Channel Intermediaries: Foreign Freight Forwarders
• Consolidate small shipments into economical container or larger-sized lots.
• Used by small or inexperienced shippers.
• Consolidators and agents regulated by the Federal Maritime Commission.
• Fee for service and/or commission from shipping companies.
• Use ocean and air modes.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Strategic Channel Intermediaries: Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers
• These carriers are used to disperse traffic moving to and from an inland port.
• These NVOCCs then collect traffic from inland ports back to the ocean port cities.
• This service saves the shippers from having to pay to return empty containers to the ocean carriers.
• NVOCC service widens markets of the ocean carriers and provides expertise to the smaller inland shippers.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Strategic Channel Intermediaries: Export Management Companies
• Export Management Companies (EMCs) act as a knowledgeable shippers agent in a foreign country.
• Act as the sellers agent in getting orders, and arranging for distribution, promotion, and dealing with the foreign government.
• Exclusive arrangements are possible and the EMC may sell with or without taking title to the goods.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Strategic Channel Intermediaries: Export Trading Companies
• Similar to the Elms, the Export Trading Companies (ETCs) export goods and services.
• The ETC locates buyers, arranges for inland and international transportation, and meeting foreign government requirements.
• Allows small and medium-sized firms the ability to compete globally.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Strategic Channel Intermediaries: Customs House Brokers
• Oversee the movement of goods through customs and ensures that paperwork accompanying a shipment is in order.
• Operate under power of attorney from the shipper and can pay any duty on freight.
• Much of the paperwork is done ahead of the shipment using integrated computer systems, greatly reducing the time it takes to clear customs, thereby reducing transit times.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Strategic Channel Intermediaries: Ship Brokers/Ship Agents/Export Packers
• Ship brokers act as agents in securing the charter of a ship.
• Ship agents are the local (port) agent of the ship operator when the ship is in port.
• Export packers supply a shipper specialized export packing services to help with customs and to protect the goods.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Strategic Channel Intermediaries: Ports
• Port selection is a very important part of the international logistics strategy.
• Different ports often specialize in different types of shipments.
• Selecting the wrong port can add miles, time, and therefore cost to a shipment not appropriately routed.
• Overall door-to-door transit time and variability most important factors.

Packaging
• Export shipments generally require a higher level of protection than domestic shipments because of extra handling and the motion of the ocean and its effect on cargo.
• Shippers expect to pay more for more protection, as settling liability claims can be very difficult due to the large number of firms that may be handling the goods.

Governmental Influences: Customs Regulation
• Customs regulations of the importing country have the greatest effect on the international movement of goods.
• In place to protect domestic industries from unfair or predatory competition, these barriers to trade are handled differently in various countries.
• Duties are expressed either as a percent of value, a fixed amount, or in combination.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Governmental Influences: Other Customs Functions
• Determine that the goods value is as stated.
• Ensure that the goods are properly marked.
• Ensure that the items are permitted for entry.
• Ensure correct price and quantity.
• Control quota amounts.
© Copyright PCTI Group 2009 | | <document classification>
Governmental Influences: Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs)
• Goods enter without customs formalities, duty or bond.
• Shippers can break bulk before entry.• Goods can be processed, repacked, or
remarked to avoid fines before entry.• FTZs can hold excess goods until the next
quota window.• Buyer can test or sample before entry.• Goods can be stored indefinitely and/or re-
exported without paying duty.
