This book examines emerging theories, frameworks, and applications of global marketing for the 21st century. It highlights how global marketing is changing in a globalized and digital economy that is fast increasing in complexity and uncertainty. The traditional approach to global marketing is no longer sufficient to address the emerging issues in global markets. Global companies need to challenge traditional assumptions in global marketing in an era of shifting political, cultural, economic, and technological changes. They need to take a fresh look at the contemporary threats and opportunities in markets, institutions, and technology and how they affect entry and expansion strategies through careful re-calibration of the marketing-mix. This book offers new insights for global marketing that addresses these issues. This book should be an ideal resource to both academic scholars and reflective practitioners globally such as CEOs and chief marketing officers as well as government officials and policy makers interested in formulating strategies/policies for global marketing activities in the face of a globalized and digitized economy. This well-crafted research volume is an excellent addition to the growing literature on new trends in international marketing. The authors present the latest insight on the impact of phenomena such as cross-border e-commerce and digital markets, and they discuss new tools for political risk assessment, international branding and more broadly the reconfiguring of marketing-mix strategies – A powerful reminder that the new global market remains a rugged landscape. - Alain Verbeke, McCaig Research Chair in Management and Editor-in-Chief Journal of International Business Studies, University of Calgary, Canada. Emerging trends in institutions, markets, and societies, along with new technological advances, are redefining the scope and strategy in global marketing. Professors Agarwal and Wu have assembled a remarkable collection of cutting-edge topics and issues that capture the shifting paradigm and contemporary developments in the global marketing field. This is an informative and timely resource that makes a valuable contribution, useful for both scholars and business practitioners of global marketing. - Constantine S. Katsikeas, Arnold Ziff Endowed Research Chair in Marketing & International Management, Editor-in-Chief Journal of International Marketing, University of Leeds, UK. This book presents new and cutting-edge thinking at a time when the traditional views of international marketing need to be scrapped. Convergence forces are creating new opportunities as well as threats on a daily basis, and marketing practitioners as well as scholars must be forewarned as well as forearmed on how to deal with these changes. The real growth is coming from the emerging nations, and the theories that provided sufficient insights ten years ago have been completely outmoded by the ever-accelerating rate of innovation and technological change as well as the pressures to address the needs of all of the firm’s relevant stakeholders. The strategic insights provided here are absolutely invaluable. Don’t miss an opportunity to read this book!! - John B. Ford, Professor of Marketing & International Business, Eminent Scholar & Haislip-Rohrer Fellow, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Advertising Research, Old Dominion University, USA.
This proceedings volume explores marketing opportunities and challenges that exist in the current, fast-changing landscape of the global marketplace.

The international marketing literature has grown exponentially in recent years in order to offer sufficient support to corporate and public policy-makers confronting today's turbulent global business conditions. However, according to some of the most recent and outstanding critical assessments of international marketing as a field of study, several promising research avenues are still open to further academic research in this scientific discipline. Accordingly, this volume is conceived as a deep exploration of the evolving nature of the international marketing discipline attending to the diverse sources of emerging opportunities and challenges currently confronting this field of research in the earliest years of this century. The papers in this volume approach this issue from different perspectives. Special consideration is given to firms' export behavior and performance as perhaps still the most relevant, but not the only international marketing strategy among SMEs in both developed and emerging economies. However, strategic internationalization processes in different sectoral contexts (manufacturing, hi-tech and service sectors, and also retailing) are also widely considered in this volume. Of course, the evolving nature of firms' internal capabilities and of shifting environmental forces, which become crucial issues mostly from the international marketers' perspective, are also outlined. Finally, more specific attention is devoted to the increased impact associated with the so-called information technology revolution (especially, the Internet) on business internationalization and international marketing policies and practices. Whereas the primary target readers of this volume are surely scholars and students generally interested in international business/marketing or even international entrepreneurship disciplines, both practitioners and policy-makers in this field should also find relevant insights into their current and future activities.

This book examines both the theory and applications of marketing higher education in a global environment. Universities and colleges face new challenges in student recruitment and international competition. This book is designed to offer new insights into international marketing of higher education. With declining domestic enrollments and continuing funding cuts, many higher education institutions are exploring new ways to market and promote themselves to international students. Higher education institutions view international students not only as a source of revenue, but also as an integral part of an overall academic strategy. While international students face many destination choices, they normally choose universities and colleges in developed countries such as the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The international marketing of higher education is of growing importance to universities and colleges today.
Features the papers that report a variety of studies examining: international marketing behaviour of firms from emerging markets; market environments and consumer behaviour in emerging markets; and, MNCs' international marketing in emerging markets.
