DESCRIPTION
The course is one of the essential pieces of the semester on the international context of the IBA program and specifically introduces you to the emerging economies context in the field of marketing during Period 5.
When we look at the global landscape today, we see two on-going struggles: the drive for prosperity and development and the desire to retain identity and traditions. On one hand, the economic flux in the developed world is prevailing and the emerging markets are becoming a global growth engine. On the other hand, weak institutions, cultural clashes, and political tensions are encountered in the emerging economies and these make business relationships with the developed world risky. Today?s marketer operates in this international environment and hence has the responsibility to understand and communicate to others in the company about the new world. In essence, the course is designed to help you gain insights about the consumer and competitive landscape in the emerging economies and thereby become the next era?s marketer. You will investigate the competencies of the thriving local emerging market companies and the factors that make global companies create successful business models in these economies. As we contemplate on the market driving practices in emerging markets, we will set the stage for deeper insights for the fundamental issues that shape the marketing strategy today.
