Let us assess your learning… © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 4 What is “International Marketing”? Any idea? • What may be criteria for International Marketing? • Why do you think it is different from „normal“ Marketing? © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 5 What is “normal” Marketing? • Marketing involves the planning and execution of the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, products, and services (AMA). • Marketing involves customer’s current and future needs, and also their satisfaction. • Marketing is more than selling, involves the entire company. It is about market orientation! • Companies are always under competitive pressure to move forward, both reactively and proactively. © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 6 Do You Think these Definitions are Adequate? • What is the purpose of defining International Marketing? • What are the consequences of the following definitions? © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 7 Classic Interpretations of International Marketing… Author(s) Definition of International Marketing Kahler/Kramer (1977) Export or international business Bradley (2005) Establishment of long-term organizations for handling international markets in two or more countries Stahr (1993) Entity of a company’s activities in selected countries Czinkota/Ronkainen (2010) Planning and execution of (market) transactions across country borders Meffert/Bolz (2001) Analysis, planning, execution, coordination and controlling of activities directed towards actual and potential international markets Mühlbacher/Daringer/Leihs (2006) Adoption of market orientation and marketing techniques into international business © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 8 … and their Key Elements. Author(s) Definition of International Marketing Kahler/Kramer (1977) Export or international business Bradley (2005) Establishment of long-term organizations for handling international markets in two or more countries Stahr (1993) Entity of a company’s activities in selected countries Czinkota/Ronkainen (2010) Planning and execution of (market) transactions across country borders Meffert/Bolz (2001) Analysis, planning, execution, coordination and controlling of activities directed towards actual and potential international markets Mühlbacher/Daringer/Leihs (2006) Adoption of market orientation and marketing techniques into international business © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 9 Do You Think these Definitions are Adequate? Keywords • Export • International markets – in two or more countries • Activities in selected countries • Transactions across country borders • Activities towards actual and potential international markets • …into international business • Anything missing? • What are the implications of these definitions? © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 10 Implications of Classic Interpretations • The classic interpretations of international marketing are characterized by an emphasis on cross-border activities. • They are very similar to the general definition of marketing in a national context. • Strengths: Sensitizes managers for the differences (cultural, ways of business conduct, consumer attitudes, etc.) between country markets; emphasize increased risk and informational needs. • Weaknesses: It does not become clear why international marketing constitutes a field in its own right. What are its conceptionally distinct features (of international marketing as well as the underlying business activity)? • The approach risks to marginalize international marketing to a special case of national marketing. © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 11 Let Us Get Some Inspiration… Are They Different? • USA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5PGRWxJjtU • South Korea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgAElkZG-bE&NR=1 • Germany http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_t4ZCle_po&NR=1 • Argentina http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPoOmKnAHgg • South Africa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1rwH0HQFI&feature=PlayList&p=572624B1AC0F2818 • India http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26MLjHFK4Jk © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 12 Is it only Local Flavor that Makes the Difference? What is different? What did you notice? • • • • • • • Context Stories Humor Culture Colors Language Product Usage • But same product? Same Brand? © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 13 Observation by Quack (1995, p.9) Example international pricing problems: • Apply traditional marketing knowledge • Local experiments in NY and Bejing • Same results – same conclusions? Far from it: • Already the precise formulation of experiments will be very different • Different structuring, function of business activities, communication, language & behavior need be considered • Comparability of results cannot be taken for granted • Final TV spot very different – naked shoulder from West is considered pronographic content and forbidden in China Source: Backhaus/Bueschken/Voeth, International Marketing, 2005, p. 15. © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 14 Challenges in International Marketing • Additional Informational Needs - but information is often hard to find • Increased Risk - little information increases associated risk • Complexity and Managerial Challenges - both rise with degree of differentiation of marketing tasks - reciprocal effects across countries • Co-ordination Needs - national activities have to be coordinated, especially with respect to eCommerce Source: Backhaus/Bueschken/Voeth, International Marketing, 2005, p. 15. © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 15 Dynamic Classification of Characteristics • Additional need for information • Increased market risk Entry into new country • Resource allocation links countries • Production links countries • Marketing links countries Ongoing operations (dynamic) • Links lead to interdependencies • Interdependencies require coordination © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 16 Reasons for the Need to Coordinate If the markets or target markets of an international company are not linked by any kind of interdependency these country markets can be dealt with in isolation. This kind of issue is well addressed by the classical approach to international marketing. The need to coordinate arises when what a firm does in one market depends on its activities and positioning in another country market, i.e. interdependencies exist between the markets (or target markets). This kind of issues needs to be addressed in a coordination-oriented framework of international marketing. © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 17 Causes for International Need to Coordinate Interdependencies Competition-based interdependence • Competition network & Intensity of competition Supplier-based interdependence • Configuration of international activities • Costs Demand-based interdependence • Information exchange • Exchange of goods and services • Cross-border corporate objectives © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 18 Causes for International Need to Coordinate Interdependencies Competition-based interdependence • Competition network & Intensity of competition Supplier-based interdependence • Configuration of international activities • Costs Demand-based interdependence • Information exchange • Exchange of goods and services • Cross-border corporate objectives © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 19 Example: „Intensity of Competition“ (I) Domestic Market Target Country 2 Cust Comp Prod ucer Cust Cust Comp Comp Comp Target Country 1 © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 Other Countries 20 Example: „Intensity of Competition“ (II) 100 Opel/ Vaux hall Holden 100 Saab 49 General Motors (13,3) 20 10 20 Fuji Heavy Industries Maruti (0,4) Alfa Romeo Volvo Cars 33,4 100 5 Lada (0,7) Audi Rover /MG (0,3) Lamborghini 100 100 100 34 Freigtliner DaimlerChrysler (6,1) Aston Martin Mitsubishi MMC (1,4) 1,3 Hyundai /Kia (2,0) Sterling Seat 100 Skoda VW (4,9) Rolls Royce / Bentley 1 Bugatti 100 Navistar (0,1) Ford (8,3) 99 100 Iveco (0,2) Mazda (1,0) Paccar (0,07) Land Rover Yamaha BMW (0,7) Lancia 100 Hino (0,05) Toyota (5,5) Daihatsu Daewoo (1,0) Suzukii (1,3) 50 Jaguar 51,2 Peugeot Citroën (2,4) 5 Fiat Auto (2,3) 33,8 Honda (2,4) Isuzu (0,5) Scania (0,05) 100 18,7 45 MAN (0,06) Samsung (0,01) Porsche (0,05) 1 5 8 Proton (0,2) 10 15 Volvo Truck (0,3) Renault Nutzfahrz .

International marketing in a narrow sense is therefore • the management of market-related interdependencies and • the reciprocal coordination of marketing activities in various country markets • guided by cross-border corporate objectives (e.g. overall profit maximization). © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 32 Definitions of „International Marketing“ International Marketing in a broad sense Multinational Marketing © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 International Marketing in a narrow sense 33 Evolution of International Marketing (I) Ethnocentric Orientation Polycentric Orientation Geocentric Orientation home country is superior and the needs of the home market are most relevant operating in external country markets in a manner characterized strongly by the domestic market mostly only a few, selected country markets are operated the focus of internationalization is on using marketing knowledge gained in the home market ("looking for similarity“) Characteristics National Marketing Export Marketing © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters Product Planning Focus only on domestic markets Product development for home country customers Sporadic foreign activities in countries with low exit barriers Product development determined primarily by the need of the home country customers International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 Marketing Mix Decisions Made at headquarters Made at headquarters 34 Evolution of International Marketing (II) Ethnocentric Orientation Polycentric Orientation Geocentric Orientation apart from its home market, an enterprise covers additional foreign markets the seller is in this case willing to consider the particular characteristics of the foreign market and to develop and implement country-specific strategies adaptation to national preferences is the key to success control with affiliates is highly decentralized Characteristics Multinational Marketing © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters Low level of interdependencies mainly autonomous subsidiaries Product Planning Marketing Mix Decisions Local product development based on local needs Made in each country International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 35 Evolution of International Marketing (III) Ethnocentric Orientation Polycentric Orientation Geocentric Orientation the objective of a geocentric marketing orientation is to integrate all corporate activities into an overall system the large number of individual country markets are served with partly standardized products in the long run economies of scale and economies of scope can be achieved Characteristics Global Marketing International Marketing © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters The world is one market Many interdependent markets Product Planning Marketing Mix Decisions Global product with local variations Made jointly with mutual consultation Integrate and coordinate marketing programme across borders Made by international teams International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 36 Positioning the Tasks in International Marketing Strong Country Market Interdependencies international marketing approaches International Marketing: national marketing Going International Focus on Home Country Market Being International Focus on many Country Markets national marketing Multinational Marketing Weak Country Market Interdependencies © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 37 Course Structure Part I Part II Conceptual Essentials Going International International Marketing © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters Part IV Part III Application of Knowledge Being International International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 38 Central Issues to be Covered in „International Marketing“ Conceptual Essentials: • Globalization & Localization • Main Drivers: - Different Environments & Cultures - Interdependencies!

Any idea on why trade is good and produces only winners?

The most expensive component in it was the hard drive, which was manufactured by Toshiba and costs about $73. The next most costly components were the display module (about $20), the video/multimedia processor chip ($8) and the controller chip ($5). They estimated that the final assembly, done in China, cost only about $4 a unit. One approach to tracing supply chain geography might be to attribute the cost of each component to the country of origin of its maker. Source: Hal Varian, NY Times, June 18, 2007 © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 73 Comparative Advantage & Product Life Cycles Result in Complex Value Structures So $73 of the cost of the iPod would be attributed to Japan since Toshiba is a Japanese company, and the $13 cost of the two chips would be attributed to the United States, since the suppliers, Broadcom and PortalPlayer, are American companies, and so on. But this method hides some of the most important details. Toshiba may be a Japanese company, but it makes most of its hard drives in the Philippines and China. So perhaps we should also allocate part of the cost of that hard drive to one of those countries. The same problem arises regarding the Broadcom chips, with most of them manufactured in Taiwan. So how can one distribute the costs of the iPod components across the countries where they are manufactured in a meaningful way? Source: Hal Varian, NY Times, June 18, 2007 © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 74 Comparative Advantage & Product Life Cycles Result in Complex Value Structures The researchers estimated that of the iPod’s $299 retail value $163 was captured in the United States by American companies and workers, breaking it down to $75 for distribution and retail costs, $80 to Apple, $8 to various domestic component makers. Japan contributed about $26 to the value added (mostly the Toshiba disk drive), while Korea contributed less than $1. The unaccounted-for parts and labor costs involved in making the iPod came to about $110. Ultimately, there is no simple answer to who makes the iPod or where it is made. Source: Hal Varian, NY Times, June 18, 2007 © 2011 Dr. Kay Peters International Marketing – U Muenster – Autumn 2011 75 Comparative Advantage & Product Life Cycles Result in Complex Value Structures The real value of the iPod doesn’t lie in its parts or even in putting those parts together. The bulk of the iPod’s value is in the conception and design of the iPod. That is why Apple gets $80 for each of these video iPods it sells, which is by far the largest piece of value added in the entire supply chain. Those clever folks at Apple figured out how to combine 451 mostly generic parts into a valuable product. They may not make the iPod, but they created it. In the end, that’s what really matters.

(e.g., ASEAN) • Common Market: Eliminates all tariffs and other barriers, adopts a common set of external tariffs on nonmembers, and remove all restrictions on the flow of capital and labor among member nations.
