products or services intended for the

Edition
The glocalization framework
Combination of
globalization and
localization
-> Optimize the balance
between standardization
versus adaptation
-> Focusing on the
differences of consumers in
different markets while also
maximizing the benefit of
the similarities.
Dynamic interdependence between head-
quarters and subsidiaries
Ensuring local flexibility while exploiting
the benefits of global integration and
efficiencies (eg. economies of scales)
Ensuring worldwide diffusion of
innovation (Product/service developed
and distributed globally -> common
global technology)
Better product performance in different
use conditions
Penetrate closer to the market ->
Accommodate user/consumers in local
market
Meet local requirements/standards: local
laws, customs or consumer preferences
Greater interest to end user
Excellent local image
BENEFITS OF GLOCALIZATION
DISCUSSION
Are domestic and international marketing
similar in nature but not in scope?
Is international marketing nothing but
domestic marketing on a larger scale?

THE INTERNATIONAL MARKETING TASK
MARKETING DECISION FACTORS
The marketing manager blends price, product, promotion,
channels-of-distribution, and research activities
(controllable elements) to capitalize on anticipated
demand
The controllable elements can be altered in the long run
and, usually, in the short run to adjust to changing
market conditions, consumer tastes, or corporate
objectives.
ASPECTS OF THE DOMESTIC ENVIRONMENT
Domestic environment uncontrollable variables include
home-country elements that can have a direct effect on
the success of a foreign venture: political and legal
forces, economic climate, and competition.
The marketer must actively evaluate and, if needed,
adapt. The adaptation of the marketing mix to these
environmental factors determines the outcome of the
marketing enterprise
ASPECTS OF THE FOREIGN ENVIRONMENT
Elements in the uncontrollable international environment
include political/legal forces, economic forces,
competitive forces, level of technology, structure of
distribution, geography and infrastructure, and cultural
forces.
These forces constitute the principal elements of
uncertainty an international marketer must cope with in
designing a marketing program.
