International marketing mix management
Theoretical Framework, Contingency Factors and Empirical Findings from World-Markets
For years, the debate over marketing standardisation versus adaptation in international marketing strategy has persisted among academicians and marketing directors, yet remains unresolved. The ongoing globalisation of markets and the rise of BRIC economies highlight the necessity for effective management of international marketing efforts. This study provides empirical findings on managing the international marketing mix and related processes in global markets, grounded in a robust theoretical framework and sound methodology. It specifically examines and compares the marketing strategies of multinational corporations, offering insights into both financial and non-financial performance measures. Prof. Dr. Tobias Richter, who conducts research at Trier University of Applied Sciences and advises major firms, has extensive experience in the field. He previously held positions as an Executive Member of the Board and European marketing director in the UK, as well as marketing director at a German agency. His background includes roles as product manager, category manager (Europe), and project manager (Global) with a Dax-30 corporation. He studied at Freie Universität Berlin and the University of California at Berkeley, holds a dual MBA from the University of Bristol and the 'Ecole Nationale de Ponts et Chaussées, and earned his doctorate at the University of Warwick.
