This is a basic text in International Marketing, a major knowledge area for students of management studies. This book attempts to make learning of the nuances of the subject easy and enjoyable for students. International trade, economic free trade zones, embargoes on exports, and tariff and non-tariff barriers that the companies face overseas form a major part of the book. In addition, the role of international organizations under the guidance of the United Nations has been given its due importance.

A key feature of this book is a highly developed Management Game at the end of each chapter which makes the book interactive and provides hands-on corporate experience to students. International Marketing is closely associated with the business environment of the host country, its cultural ethos, economic development, political system, and competitive environment. Companies need to analyze these factors before planning international forays.

The book contains profiles of selected countries that enable students to understand their business environment, business behavior, and the best methods of doing business there.

This exciting and comprehensive new textbook deals with all aspects of integrated marketing communication from a strategic perspective. Integrated Marketing Communications is planning in a systematic way to determine the most effective and consistent message for appropriate target audiences. The book shows clearly that this is rarely achieved in organisations where the needs of the brand can become lost in managerial needs to pursue IMC budgets- i.e. the share of the internal pie is more important than the external impact.
