Download or read book International Marketing Management written by Mario Glowik and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, against the background of integrated global trade patterns, the complexity of international marketing and management has increased enormously. Accordingly, the momentum of business opportunities and challenges has accelerated, and a firm has to continuously evaluate its market environment in order to make adjustments that reflect the firm’s individual strengths and weaknesses. This book takes as its perspective that the customer undoubtedly is positioned in the center of the firm’s overall management activities. True understanding of the customer requires efficient marketing research about the firm’s international business environment. As discussed in the first chapters of the book, the firm’s business success depends in part on its ethical standards; thus awareness of its environmental and social responsibility is required. The following chapters concentrate on various aspects of culturally biased customer behavior and how the firm ensures sensitivity when planning and selecting its marketing strategies. The most efficient techniques of international market segmentation, targeting, and strategic competitive positioning are introduced. Furthermore, concepts of consumer loyalty programs and their implementation in diversified international markets are presented. An important part is dedicated to describing suitable mixes of marketing policies for firms operating in culturally heterogeneous international markets. Finally, forecasting changes in consumer behavior as a tool of planning international marketing activities is taken into consideration. Marketing control mechanisms that seek to increase efficiency of selected marketing activities further contribute to the valuable insights of this publication. Overall, the authors' intention is to combine the newest theoretical concepts with pragmatic decisions made by firms. The book is particularly suitable for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in international marketing, strategic and cultural management. Executives and practitioners involved in business can take fundamental and updated knowledge from this publication, which hopefully will improve their competitive positions against their rivals in the global arena.

Download or read book Samsung Electronics and the Global Market The History and the Competitive Advantage written by Giulia Knöpfle and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, University of California, Santa Barbara, language: English, abstract: This research paper deals with Samsung Electronics: with its history and the competitive advantage. The economy and the culture in South Korea are also addressed. The last chapter is about Samsung's global marketing strategy, especially market entries and the marketing mix. International trade is anything but a novelty, it has begun before Christ, but the importance of trade has sharply increased since then. Nowadays we talk about global markets and it is necessary to be aware of the importance of global marketing, otherwise companies risk losing domestic customers to competitors with cheaper or better products. The Fortune Magazine scrutinizes the revenues of large global players every year and publishes a list of the “Global 500” that ranks the global companies by their sales strength. Samsung Electronics was number thirteen in that list in the year 2015. Thus it is worth looking at this great company and the corresponding environment more closely. The purpose of this study is to find out how Samsung shapes its global marketing strategy. As Samsung is a gigantic conglomerate with lots of subsidiaries I will restrict this thesis to Samsung Electronics which operates in the electronics industry. As Samsung Electronics is still a huge company acting in many business areas with plenty of products on several markets I will limit this research again to the business sector of smartphones.

Download or read book HTC Marketing Plan written by Tobias Kleinmann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, San Diego State University (Marketing Department), language: English, abstract: HTC quickly emerged on the smartphone scene with the remarkable success of The Sense, one of its first models, and broke many industry sales records. People were asking, “Who is HTC?” Our research indicates that HTC's rapid rise to success was because of innovation and technological capabilities. Even though the HTC brand was not widely recognized, its smartphones were generating interest. In our primary research, we discovered that some people owned an HTC phone but did not know that HTC was the manufacturer. Obviously, brand awareness was relatively low. For HTC to stay relevant in the hypercompetitive smartphone industry, it needs serious revamping of its marketing plan. With smartphone market penetration increasing to more than 20 percent in the past five years and reaching 46.8 percent in Q3 2011, HTC has tremendous opportunities to establish a solid market position. After examining the market conditions and current HTC performance in the U.S., our team proposes that HTC position itself as a technological leader by targeting consumers ages 18 to 34. This promising segment has potential sales of $2.5 million. We analyzed the industry and examined external factors that could impact HTC's bottom line. This analysis gave us crucial insight into the smartphone market. We also analyzed the competitive environment that includes Apple, Motorola, and RIM (Blackberry). HTC, which has a positive reputation on the merits of its technology, needs to boldly differentiate itself in the marketplace. Through market analysis, we discovered that HTC has a strong market size, market potential, and distinct target markets. We recommend that HTC take specific steps through segmenting, targeting, and positioning to execute its marketing plan. We are confident that our plan can increase HTC's market share by 2 percent each year. By the end of 2012, our marketing objective is to reach a 24 percent market share of the smartphone industry, which equals 18.7 million HTC customers. The plan includes recommendations and precautions at distribution channels so that HTC differentiates itself from the other brands. We developed a budget for the marketing plan and devised procedures to monitor each effort in order to reach our projected market share increase. We are confident that our marketing plan can take HTC from an emerging brand to a dominant market leader.
