The company that wishes to do international
marketing must operate on three different
planes simultaneously.



control of the marketer, while other planes may
only partially controllable.
These planes are related to the company
environment (internal), the domestic environment
(parent country),
and the foreign environment (international).

Experiences
Knowledge

orientated)

This is the idea that things done in your
culture is the correct or best way of
doing things.
You tend not to look through the eyes
of the foreign consumer.

KYA JIYA, PEPSIFY KARO GAY, BURRRRR…

The Problem with SRC and
Ethnocentrism

SRC (self reference criterion)
Letting these two issues cloud your
judgment can cause you to not
understand the other culture.

This in turn will make it so you cannot
provide the product that the consumer
wants.

International Marketing Stages

customers outside national boundaries.
Products may reach foreign markets indirectly.

take products from parent country with him)

Infrequent Foreign Marketing

Usually a company markets in foreign countries
when supply is greater than domestic demand.
Here as domestic demand increases and
surpluses, foreign sales activity is withdrawn.
