International Marketing Strategy Upplaga 5

"International Marketing Strategy has been on my shelf since its first edition appeared in 1991. In the decade since, the core analysis and strategies it describes have moved from academic and international business circles to the boardrooms of any major company with pretensions of being a global player. Bradleys book continues to be the leading reference in this field." Aidan Connolly, Vice President, Alltech Inc. Two major forces shape the global economy today - political and economic convergence and market consolidation shaped by information technology. The increasing political and economic convergence, manifested in new and enlarging trade blocs and increased militarism and global terrorism, is forcing international firms to reconsider marketing strategies. Frank Bradleys International Marketing Strategy, fifth edition illustrates the full range of tasks facing the firm in todays competitive business environment. Bradley explains how to integrate the various market entry and development strategies into a series of decisions that reflect an interplay of the international marketing environment, technological forces and strength and weaknesses of the firm. "The publication of this book demonstrates that the text is a recognized classic in the discipline. It has withstood the test of time in one of the toughest marketplaces - that of business scholars, teachers, students and practitioners. Bradleys unique integrative strategic perspective with its thoroughly updated material makes the text essential reading - not only all for students of international business, but also for astute practitioners who wish to maintain currency, and develop a strategic advantage in the international environment."
