Over the last decades, multiple firms have decided to venture out in international markets. While it started with developed market firms’ entry in emerging markets, many emerging market firms have now focused on exploring opportunities in International Markets. S&P 500 firms now earn 30% of their revenue from their international markets. Despite being an important parameter in a firm’s bottom line, it is not uncommon to notice that multiple organizations have failed in making in-roads to international markets. Most popular press articles have blamed culture for such failures. However, many global managers have realized that the entire process of internationalization must be managed accurately to become successful in global markets.

This program is intended to serve an audience who is willing to learn the science of international marketing. We cover a broad range of topics essential for success in international markets. The program is diverse and experts from multiple areas and geographies join hands to give you a holistic perspective. We begin with selection of international markets (accessing opportunities and challenges in International Markets) and mode of entry decisions (Mergers and Acquistion vs. Alliances). This we call is the first step in the process of internationalization. Then, we focus on negotiations in international markets which is a critical second step. Finally, we delve into how to make data driven decision making in international markets. In this module we focus on export marketing strategies as well as on firms which have established customer engagement in international markets.
