Global Marketing Management
Global Marketing Management thought has
undergone substantial revision
In the 1970s the argument was framed as
standardization vs. adaptation
In the 1980s it was globalization vs.
localization or Think local, act local
In the 1990s it was global integration vs.
local responsiveness
The basic issue is whether the global
homogenization of consumer tastes allowed
global standardization of the marketing mix

Planning for Global Markets
Structurally, planning may be viewed as
(1) corporate, (2) strategic, or (3) tactical
Planning is a systematized way of relating to the future
It is an attempt to manage the effects of external, uncontrollable factors onthe firms strengths, weaknesses, objectives, and goals to attain a desired end
International corporate planning is essentially long term, incorporatinggeneralized goals for the enterprise as a whole
Strategic planning is conducted at the highest levels of management and
deals with products, capital, and research, and long- and short-term goals ofthe company
Tactical planning, or market planning, pertains to specific actions and to theallocation of resources used to implement strategic planning goals in specificmarkets

International Joint Ventures
International joint ventures (IJVs)have been increasinglyused since 1970s
IJVs are used as a means of lessening political and economicrisks by the amount of the partners contribution to the venture
JVs provide a less risky way to enter markets that pose legal andcultural barriers than would be the case in an acquisition of an
existing company A joint venture is different from strategic alliances or
collaborative relationships in that a joint venture is a partnershipof two or more participating companies that have joined forcesto create a separate legal entity
Joint ventures are different from minority holdings by an MNCin a local firm.
