国际市场营销 全球营销学每章课后习题答案

全球营销学第四版每章课后习题答案第一章Introduction to Global Marketing1.What are the basic goals of marketing? Are these goals relevant to globalmarketing?P31、Surpass the competition at the task of creating perceived value for customers2、The Guide line is the value equation –Value = Benefits/Price (Money, Time, Effort, Etc.)P42.What is mean by “global localization”?(全球本土化策略)Is Coca-Cola a globalproduct? Explain.The phrase “global localization” represents an attempt to capture the spirit of the rallying cry for o rganizations in the 21st century, namely, “think globally, act locally.”Most people will agree that Coca-Cola is a global product by virtue of the fact that it is available in more than 195 countries in red cans bearing the distinctive signature style. It must be noted, however, that customer service efforts are adapted to the needs of particular markets, e.g., vending machines in Japan. Thus, Coca-Cola is both global and local.3.Describe some of the global marketing strategies available to companies. Giveexamples of companies that use the different strategies.Global marketing strategies: 1. global market participation is the extent to which a company has operations in major world markets; 2. standardization versus adaptation is the extent to which each marketing mix element can be standardized or adapted in various country markets; 3. concentration of marketing activities is the extent to which activities related to marketing mix are performed in one or a few country locations; 4. coordination of marketing activities is the extent to which activities related to marketing mix are performed interdependently around the globe; 5. integration of competitive moves is the extent to which a firm’s competitive marketing tactics in different parts of world are interdependent.Examples: 1. Coke is the best-known, strongest brand, as the Coca-Cola Company, supporting its Coke, Fanta, and Powerade brands with marketing mix elements both that are globe and local, is adept at adapting sales promotion, distribution, and customer service efforts to local needs;2. Mcdonald’s business model is a restaurant system that can be set up virtually anywhere in the world and offers core menu items-hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks-in most countries, and the company also customizes menu offerings according to local eating customs.4.How do the global marketing strategies of Harley-Davidson and Toyota differ?Harley-Davidson motorcycles are known the world over as “the” all-American motorcycle. Harley’s mystique and heritag e are associated with the USA. The company backs up this positioning with exports from two U.S. manufacturing locations. By contrast, Toyota builds some models (e.g., Camry and Avalon) for the U.S. market in the U.S., a fact that Toyota stresses in its American ad. Thus, Harley-Davidson serves global markets while sourcing locally, while Toyota’s strategy calls for serving world markets and using the world as a source of supply.5.Describe the difference between ethnocentric, polycontric, regiocentric, andgeocentric management orientations.The premise of an ethnocentric orientation is that home country products and management processes are superior. An ethnocentric company that neither sources inputs from, nor seeks market opportunities in the world outside the home country may be classified as an domestic company. A company that does business abroad while still presuming the superiority of the home country may be classified as an international company. Such a company would rely on an extension strategy whereby it would export, without adaptation, products designed for the domestic market.The polycentric orientation that predominates at a multinational company leads to aview of the world in which each country markets is different from the others. Local country managers operating with a high degree of autonomy adapt the marketing mix in a polycentric, multinational company. Managers who are regiocentric or geocentric in their orientations recognize both similarities and differences in world markets. Market opportunities are pursued using both extension and adaptation strategies. The regiocentric and geocentric orientations are characteristic of global transnational companies.OrEthnocentric orientation: home country is superior to the rest of the world, sees similarities in foreign countries,leads to a standardized or extension approach; Polycentric orientation: the opposite of ethnocentrism, each country in which a company does business is unique, sees differences in foreign countries, leads to localized or adaption approach; Regiocentric orientation: a region becomes the relevant geographic unit; management`s goal is to develop an integrated regional strategy; Geocentric orientation:views the entire world as a potential market and strives to develop integrated world market strategies.6.Identify and briefly describe some of the forces that have resulted in increased globalintegration and the growing importance of global marketing.P21+Driving Forces:Regional economic agreements、Market needs and wants、TechnologyTransportation and communication improvements、Product development costs、Quality、World economic trends、LeverageRestraining Forces:Management myopia、Organizational culture、National controls 7.Define leverage and explain the different types of leverage utilized by companieswith global operations.Define leverage:P25第二章The Global Economic Environment1.Explain the difference between market capitalism, centrally planned capitalism,centrally planned socialism, and market socialism.

国际市场营销课后答案internationalmarketingplanessayqueinternational marketing planDeveloping a Global Vision through Marketing ResearchEssay Questions100. (p. 216) Give the traditional definition for marketing research.Marketing research is traditionally defined as the systematic gathering, recording, and analyzing of data to provide information useful in marketing decision making.101. (p. 216) Discuss the differences between traditional marketing research and international marketing research. Although the research processes and methods are basically the same in traditional marketing research and international marketing research, international marketing research involves two additional plications. First, information must be municated across cultural boundaries. Second, the environments within which the research tools are applied are often different in foreign markets.102. (p. 217) International marketers often collect forms of information not normally collected by domestic marketing researchers. Unisys Corporation gives some guidance as to what forms of information need to be collected in theinternational environment. List and briefly discuss each of the five types of information suggested by the UnisysCorporation model.103. (p. 218 and major section titles for the six) List and briefly characterize the six steps in the research process.The steps are: (a) define the research problem and establish research objectives, (b) determine the sources of information to fulfill the research objectives, (c) consider the costs and benefits of the research effort, (d) gather the relevant data from secondary or primary sources, or both, (e) analyze, interpret, and summarize the results, and (f) effectively municate the results to decision makers. Summaries of the steps can be found in the major sections describing each of the six steps.104. (p. 220-223) There are four major problems with using secondary data in international marketing research. What are these four major problems? Briefly, characterize each problem.The four major problems are: (a) availability of data, (b)reliability of data, (c) parability of data, and (d) validating secondary data. For a brief summary see each of the section titles of the four problem areas.105. (p. 223) As a practical matter, the international marketing researcher should ask four questions to effectively judge the reliability (validating secondary data) of secondary data sources.

(c) How were the data collected? (methodology) (d) Are the data internally consistent and logical in light of known data sources or market factors?106.

In back translation the questionnaire is translated from one language to another, and then a second party translates it back into the original. This process pinpoints misinterpretations and misunderstandings before they reach the public. Back translations may not always ensure an accurate translation because of monly used idioms in both languages. Parallel translation is used to e this problem. In this process, more than two translators are used for the back translation; the results are pared, differences discussed, and the most appropriate translation selected.108.

Discussion of the seven uses may be found on page 232. If the instructor would like to place additional suggestions or parameters on the question, be sure to do so before assigning the question to students.109.

Write a one-paragraph memo that outlines the benefits of direct foreign investment in a country.Companies that manufacture locally can capitalize on low-cost labor, avoid high import taxes, reduce the high cost of transportation to market, gain access to raw materials, and gain advantages by being perceived as making an investment in the market (as a way to gain entry).109. (p. 331, Exhibit 11.4) With respect to organizational structures used in international marketing, panies are usually structured around one of three alternatives. Assuming that you were a consultant for ATT who desired to create an organization that was able to merge your organization's expertise and skills with that of Sony's cell phone division so that your new jointventure could enter the Scandinavian market, which of the organizational structure alternatives would make most sense? Comment on why the structure might be a good one to use.international marketing planThe three structures are product, geographic, and a matrix approach. Students could select any of the three options, however, the text suggests that the matrix form is preferable in today's market place. A matrix structure permits management to respond to the conflicts that arise between functional activity, product, and geography. Since the new venture will be a joint venture, the matrix structure might allow both of the panies to bring separate expertise to the table. Since a matrixstructure encourages sharing of experience, resources, expertise, technology, and information, it seem to be a natural in this situation.Products and Services for ConsumersEssay Questions107. (p. 337) Discuss the two dimensions of quality.The two dimensions of quality are market-perceived quality and performance quality.

A product may have to change in a number of ways to meet the physical or mandatory requirements of a new market.109. (p. 344-347) Everett Rogers notes that four crucial elements impact the diffusion of new ideas. What are those elements?The elements are (a) an innovation, (b) which is municated through certain channels, (c) over time, and (d) among the members of a social system.110. (p. 350, Exhibit 12.1) Draw and correctly label the product ponent model shown in the text.The model is shown on page 350 (see Exhibit 12.1). Students should include the core, packaging, and support services ponents and the sub-parts of each for full credit.111. (p. 353-355) Consumer services are distinguished byfour unique characteristics. List and characterize each of these four unique characteristics.The characteristics are (a) intangibility--services cannot be touched, (b) inseparability--the service cannot be separated from its consumption, (c) heterogeneous--it is individually produced and is thus virtually unique, and (d) perishability--once created it cannot be stored but must be consumed simultaneously with its creation.112. (p. 356-358) Consumer services face four kinds of barriers as these services are presented to the global market. What are these barriers?The barriers are (a) protectionism, (b) controls on transborder data flows, (c) protection of intellectual property, and (d) cultural requirements for adaptation.113. (p. 358-359, Exhibit 12.2) A successful brand is the most valuable resource a pany has. Comment on why this is true and create an example to illustrate.international marketing planUsing the material on pages 358-359 and including Exhibit 12.2, students should be able to make a case for the value of a brand. To summarize, the brand name passes the years ofadvertising, good will, quality evaluation, productexperience, and other beneficial attributes the market associates with the product. Students may use whatever example they wish, however, it still needs to be appropriate to the material above.114. (p. 363-364) Assuming that you were a new marketing manager for Nike and that your first task was to launch a renewed effort to gain market share in Europe, an Adidas stronghold. Describe the impact that the country-of-origin effect might have on your chances of success.The country-of-origin effect can be defined as any influence that the country of manufacture, assembly, or design has on a consumer's positive or negative perception of a product. Students could discuss stereotypes in the example, mention the difficulties that the U.S. has had with France, the general opinion of American-made products, Nike's publicity as asweatshop broker, or how a home-based rival such as Adidas might react to Nike. If you, as an instructor, would like to set additional parameters for this question, please do so before the exam.International Marketing ChannelsEssay Questions101.

(p. 399) How does a manufacturer attempt to control the distribution channel?The manufacturer attempts to control the distribution channel through (a) inventory financing, (b) cumulative rebates, (c) merchandise returns, and (d) promotional support.104. (p. 404) Discuss the impact of the trend from traditional to modern channel structures.The impact of these trends will change traditionaldistribution and marketing systems. While retailing revolution remains in flux, new retailing and middle-men systems will be invented, and established panies will experiment, seeking ways to maintain their petitive edge. Moreover, it is ing more dangerous to think of petitors in terms of individual panies―in international business generally, and distribution systems particularly, a networks perspective is increasingly required. That is, firms must be understood in the context of the mercial networks of which they are a part. These changes will resonate throughout the distribution chain before new concepts are established and the system stabilizes.105. (p. 408) Characterize the difference(s) between agent middlemen and merchant middlemen.The primary difference is that agent middlemen do not take title to the goods they process and the merchant middleman does. Additionally, the merchant middleman normally performs more work tasks that are often general in nature whereas the agent middleman may be more of a specialist.international marketing plan106.

(p. 529) Explain the process called parallel importing.Parallel importing occurs when importers buy products from distributors in one country and sell them in another to distributors who are not part of the manufacturer's regular distribution system. For more information and illustrations see page 531, Exhibit 18.1.101. (p. 532) What is the difference between variable-cost pricing and full-cost pricing.In variable-cost pricing, the firm is concerned only with the marginal or incremental cost of producing goods to be sold in overseas markets. In full-cost pricing, the philosophy insists that no unit of a similar product is different from any other unit in terms of cost and that each unit must bear its full share of the total fixed and variable cost.international marketing plan102. (p. 544) There are two distinct views of what constitutes dumping.

For additional information and examples see pages 545-549.104. (p. 549) What are the benefits of transfer pricing?The benefits are (a) lowering duty costs by shipping goods into high-tariff countries at minimal transfer prices so that duty base and duty are low, (b) reducing e taxes in high-tax countries by overpricing goods transferred to units in such countries, and (c) facilitating dividend repatriation when dividend repatriation is curtailed by government policy.105. (p. 542) A reasonable price for goods in the home market may more than double in the foreign market. How doeschannel length and transportation costs contribute to the price increase?Channel length is determined by the number of middlemen. Middlemen may increase the price of goods to covertransportation costs and to increase their margins; there is little opportunity for a manufacturer to control retail prices in a foreign country. In addition, transportation costs also contribute to the increase in product costs. Transportation costs include insurance, packing, handling, and shipping charges. Such costs are added to the price of goods to determine the landed cost which es the basis of import tariffs. These costs add to the inflation of the final price of goods.106. (p. 551-553) Discuss the meaning of and nature of cartels. Are these groups beneficial or not? Create an example to illustrate your stance.A cartel exists when various panies producing similar products or services work together to control markets for the types of goods and services they produce. The cartel association may use formal agreements to set prices, establish levels of production and sales for the participating panies, allocate territories, and even redistribute profits. The economic role ofcartels is debatable, but their proponents argue that they eliminate cutthroat petition and rationalize business, permitting greater technical progress and lower prices to consumers. Many do not agree with this view. See the text on pages 551-553 for additional information and examples.。

所谓满足需求,一是指满足消费者和用户对商品或服务在使用价值上的需求;二是指满足消费者和用户的心理需求。

由于观念的一致性,企业的国内外营销活动也具有一致性,即企业在国内外营销活动中都必须做到:(1)企业生产、销售产品与服务都要有自己的目标市场,即要有特定的用户作为自己的买主;(2)企业提供的产品和服务,不仅在物质功能上而且在价值观念上,都要满足目标市场的需求;(3)企业销售产品与服务在时间、地点、方式、价格等方面,都必须便于顾客购买;(4)及时为顾客提供信息和满意的售后服务,以满足现实顾客和潜在顾客对商品和服务的多种需要。

《国际市场营销(第二版)》章后习题参考答案与提示

《国际市场营销(第二版)》章后习题参考答案与提示

附录1章后习题参考答案与提示第1章□知识题1.1 阅读理解1)国际市场营销(International Marketing,简称国际营销,也有的称国际行销)指的是企业在跨越国境的基础上计划和实施交易,以实现满足个人和组织需要的交换的过程。

这里其主要特点是跨越国境的交易。

与国内营销的主要区别是:①国际营销比国内营销面临更多不可控因素;②国际营销比国内营销面临着更复杂的需求;③国际营销比国内营销更需要统一的协调和控制;④国际营销的目标市场在国外,它的产品(或服务)应该满足国外客户的需要。

2)开展国际市场营销,主要是为了让企业的决策者在综合考虑分析国内外市场营销环境的基础上,捕捉营销机会,避免风险,制定进入国际市场的营销战略、策略,以实现企业的基本目标。

因此,企业开展国际营销的目的是:①拓展企业的市场基础,扩大企业的经营业务;②获得国际市场的经验和资源,参与全球竞争;③获得全球基础上的竞争优势,加强企业的核心竞争能力;④分散化经营,规避经营风险。

3)这些环境因素包括三个方面。

①营销可控因素。

产品、渠道、价格和促销就是营销的可控因素,企业要达到自己的经营目标,必须以目标市场消费者的需求为中心,制定一个适应企业外部环境的营销方案。

企业对外部环境认识得愈深刻,适应得愈好,效益就愈佳。

②国内不可控因素,包括政治力量、经济形势和竞争环境等。

这些因素往往对企业在国际市场上的营销活动产生直接或间接的影响。

有时政府一项政治决定会给企业带来巨大的营销机会;而另一项决定也可能使原来谈妥的生意告吹。

国内经济形势的好坏,也会影响企业海外投资办厂的能力,以及在国际市场购买的多寡。

竞争环境往往构成企业实现营销目标的直接威胁。

③国外不可控因素,包括政治力量、经济形势、社会文化环境、科技条件、竞争因素、地理环境、分销结构等,这些都是无法控制而且更为复杂的环境,但它们又是企业进入国际市场制订营销规划的基础和依据。

4)国际市场营销的主要任务包括:适应环境差距,包括文化差距、行政差距、地理差距和经济差距;进行跨国的组织协调;确定和管理组织的全球化决策,包括战略的全球化决策、企业组织的全球化决策、产品全球化决策及全球品牌决策等。

第14版国际营销课后习题答案1

Chapter 1 The Scope and Challenge of International Marketing2.How can the increased interest in international marketing on the part of the U.S. firms beexplained?1)The U.S. market has reached saturation levels for many products, and increasingnumbers of firms are faced with surpluses which must be sold.2) many firms find that return on investment may be higher in foreign markets than indomestic markets.3) more firms realize that tomorrow’s markets will be world markets and it is imperativeto establish world market positions early.3.Discuss the four phases of international marketing involvement.The first phase is domestic firms which have no foreign business activity except those sales made to foreign customers who come directly to the firm.The second is domestic firms which have temporary surpluses which are sold abroad on an availability basis with no intention for continuing market representation.The third is the domestic firms that have permanent productive capacity which is used to produce goods which are sold on a continuing basis in foreign markets.The fourth is the international company that produces a product for the world market.4.Discuss the conditions that have led to the development of global markets.1)new communications technology, travel and other factors led the world markets beingaware of different products and processes.2)Because of this awareness, each market thus had common needs for high quality,reasonably priced, standardized products.3)There is a strong feeling that within ideas from the world affected the tastes andperceived needs of every country market4)There is a strong feeling that world markets are being driven toward a convergingcommonality of taste and needs leading toward global markets.5.Differentiate between a global company and a multinational company.A global company assumes countries have the same needs and designs a standardized, high quality, reasonably priced product for those markets it as if there are no differences among the country markets.A multinational company has a specific marketing plan and adapts products for each country market and think there are cultural differences among countries that require specific adaptations for those markets.6.Differentiate among the three international marketing concepts. 见课件7.Discuss the three factors necessary to achieve global awareness.(1) objectivity; objective in assessing opportunities, evaluating potential, and respondingto problems. Too often mistakes are made because companies are swept away with generalities and make investments only later to find out that their commitment or abilities were not sufficient to succeed,(2) tolerance toward cultural differences; tolerance is understanding cultural differencesand accepting and working with others whose behavior may be different from yours,3) knowledgeable; To be successful in international business and globally aware, a personneeds to be knowledgeable of the enormous changes occurring throughout the world and the potential opportunities8.Define and discuss the idea of global orientation.A global orientation means operating as if all the country markets in a company’s scopeof operations (including domestic market) are approachable as a single global market and to standardize the marketing mix where culturally feasible and cost effective or to adapt the marketing mix where culturally required and cost effective.A global orientation mean standardizing the components of the marketing mix wheredemand is similar and changing the marketing mix where there are significant cultural differences .Chapter 2:The Global Environment of International Marketing Discussion Questions2. The Tokyo Round(会谈) of GA TT has emphasized the reduction of nontariff barriers. How does the Uruguay(乌拉圭) Round differ?Nontariff barriers are all the restrictions imposed on the importation of goods by a host government with the exception of tariffs. Such things as standards, quotas, import licenses, countervailing duties, border taxes can be classified as nontariff barriers.Earlier rounds of negotiations by GATT members had been successful in reducing tariffs and the Tokyo Round focused on the reduction of nontariff barriers.The Tokyo Round start to address a number of nontariff barriers that have become more serious in recent years. Despite the success of these past rounds, high tariffs have not disappeared entirely and nontariff barriers are still widely used. There are also areas that, until now, GATT has not addressed such as services, intellectual property rights, and investment. Specifically, GATT negotiations in this round are to address key areas of importance in international trade which are not now under the scope of GATT rules. For example, GATT rules do not apply to the international trade of services which represent an increasing percentage of international trade flows. Similarly, GATT rules have little influence over government investment policies affecting international trade or on policies concerning the protection of intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Agricultural trade is another area where GATT rules either do not apply or arenot effective. Finally, the dispute settlement mechanism is seen to be increasingly ineffective at resolving conflicts among GATT members.3. Discuss the impact of GATS, TRIMS, AND TRIPS on global trade.An important objective of the United States in the Uruguay Round was to reduce or eliminate barriers to international trade in services. While there is still much progress to be made before free trade in services will exist throughout the world, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is the first multilateral, legally enforceable agreement covering trade and investment in services sector. It provides a legal basis for future negotiations aimed at eliminating barriers that discriminate against foreign services trade and deny them market access. For the first time, comprehensive multilateral disciplines and procedures covering trade and investment in services have been established. Specific market-opening concessions from a wide range of individual countries were achieved and provision was made for continued negotiations to further liberalize telecommunications and financial services.Equally significant were the results of negotiations in the investment sector. Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMs), established the basic principle that investment restrictions can be major trade barriers and therefore are included, for the first time, under GATT procedures. An initial set of specific practices were prohibited including: local content requirements specifying that some amount of the value of the investor’s production must be purchased from local sources or produced locally; trade balancing requirements specifying that an investor must export an amount equivalent to some proportion of imports or condition the amount of imports permitted on export levels; and, foreign exchange balancing requirements limiting the importation of products used in local production by restricting its access to foreign exchange to an amount related to its exchange inflow. As a result of TRIMs, restrictions in Indonesia which prohibit foreign firms from opening their own wholesale or retail distribution channels can be challenged. And so can investment restrictions in Brazil that require foreign-owned manufacturers to buy most of their components from high-cost local suppliers and that affiliates of foreign multinationals maintain a trade surplus in Brazil’s favor by exporting more than they sell within.Another objective of the United States from the Uruguay Round was achieved by an agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs). The TRIPs agreement establishes substantially higher standards of protection for a full range of intellectual property rights (patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, industrial designs, and semiconductor chip mask works) than are embodied in current international agreements and it provides for the effective enforcement of those standards both internally and at the border.4. Discuss the evolution of world trade that has led to the formulation of the WTO.Since the inception of GATT, there have been eight ―rounds‖ of intergovernmental tariff negotiations. The most recently completed was the Uruguay round which built on the success of the Tokyo Round, the most comprehensive and far-reaching round undertakenby GATT up to that time. The Tokyo Round resulted in tariff cuts and set new international rules for subsidies and countervailing measures, anti-dumping, government procurement, technical barriers to trade (standards), customs valuation, and import licensing. While the Tokyo Round addressed non-tariff barriers, there were some areas not covered by that round which continued to impede free trade. In addition to market access, there were issues of trade in services, agriculture, and textiles; intellectual property rights; and investment and capital flows..The Uruguay Round was begun in 1986 in Punta del Este, Uruguay and finally concluded in 1994. By 1995, 80 GATT members including the United States, the European Union (and it member states) Japan, and Canada had accepted the agreement. Perhaps the most notable achievement of the Uruguay Round was the creation of a new institution as a successor to the GATT, the World Trade Organization (WTO). At the signing of the Uruguay Round trade agreement, U.S. representatives pushed for an enormous expansion of the definition of trade issues. The result was the creation of the World Trade Organization that encompasses the current GATT structure and extends it to new areas not adequately covered in the past. The WTO is an institution—not an agreement as was GATT. It will set the rules governing trade between its 117 members, provide a panel of experts to hear and rule on trade disputes between members and, unlike GATT, issue binding decisions. It will require for the first time, the full participation of all members in all aspects of the current GATT and the Uruguay Round agreements and, through its enhanced stature and scope, provide a permanent, comprehensive forum to address the trade issues of the 21st century global market. Trade disputes will be heard by a panel of experts. A panel of experts, selected by the WTO, will hear both sides and issue a decision; the winning side will be authorized to retaliate with trade sanctions if the losing country does not change its practices.While the WTO has no actual means of enforcement, international pressure to comply with WTO decisions from other member countries is expected to force compliance. The WTO ensures that member countries agree to the obligations of all the agreements, countries, including developing countries (the fastest growing markets of the world) will undertake obligations to open their markets and to be bound by the rules of the multilateral trading system.This exercise is designed to familiarize the student with the Internet and issues GATT as well as the WTO. In addition to the various Rounds of GATT, this site is a complete discussion of WTO. The discussion of this question could include a broader discussion of WTO.5.U. S. exports to the European Community are expected to decline in future years. Whatmarketing actions may a company take to counteract such changes?An economic unity such as the EC is primarily concerned with increases of trade within its member-countries because they want to raise their own production and gain through economic growth that their specialized members can supply. It may be said that the EC wants to decrease their trade with nonmember nations. One study has shown some proportional declines already.What the U.S. marketer should do to counteract such actions is to, as rapidly as possible, expand exports to this market. More important, the marketers should build new and expand EC-located, U.S.-owned industries and marketing facilities to strengthen their position before it becomes too late. EC members are now busy building new plants and establishing their outlets and markets. From the U.S. foreign marketer’s point of view, there is no time to waste, otherwise they will lose some of the grip they have established in Europe.Also, keeping in mind that many other Western European countries are again interested in joining EC. The typical argument: ―It will be too expensive to stay outside.‖ A sound policy for American companies wanting or dependent upon marketing in the European market might increase their potential in EFTA.6.―Because they are dynamic and because they have great growth possibilities, themultinational markets are likely to be especially rough-and-tumble for the external business.‖ Discuss.The attractive growth and profit opportunities in multinational markets tend to draw the more aggressive marketers into competition. Whereas, a company may have virtually no competition in its home market, it may be competing with three or four major firms in the multinational market. National interest gives preferential treatment of various types to firms from member nations and intensifies the normal market competition.7.Discuss the implications of the European Union’s decision to admit Eastern European nationsto the group.The admission of Eastern European nations into the EU will create an ever larger and more economically important than the present EU. The globalization of markets, the restructuring of Eastern Europe into independent market-driven economies, the dissolution of the Soviet Union into independent states, the worldwide trend toward economic cooperation, and enhanced global competition make it important that market potential be viewed in the context of regions of the world rather than country by country.Formal economic cooperation agreements such as the EC are the most notable examples of multinational market groups but many new coalitions are forming, old ones are being re-energized, and the possibility of many new cooperative arrangements is on the horizon.8.Discuss the strategic marketing implications of the Canada-United States-Mexico Free TradeAgreement.NAFTA affects a variety of strategic issues, the most important of which are:Market Access. Within 10 years of implementation, all tariffs will be eliminated on North American industrial products traded between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. All trade between Canada and the U.S. not already duty free will be duty free by 1998 as provided for in CFTA. Mexico will immediately eliminate tariffs on nearly 50 percent of all industrial goods imported from the U.S., and remaining tariffs will be phased out entirely within 15 years.Nontariff Barriers. In addition to elimination of tariffs, Mexico will eliminate nontariff barriers and other trade-distorting restrictions. U.S. exporters will benefit immediately from the removal of most import licenses that have acted as quotas essentially limiting the importation of products into the Mexican market. NAFTA also eliminates a host of other Mexican barriers such as local content, local production, and export performance requirements that have limited U.S. exports.Rules of Origin. NAFTA reduces tariffs only for goods made in North America. Tough rules of origin will determine whether goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under NAFTA. Rules of origin are designed to prevent ―free riders‖ from benefiting through minor processing or transshipment of non-NAFTA goods. For example, Japan could not assemble autos in Mexico and avoid U.S. or Canadian tariffs and quotas unless the auto had a specific percentage of Mexican (i.e., North American) content. For goods to be traded duty free, they must contain substantial (62.5 percent) North American content. Since NAFTA rules of origin have been strengthened, clarified, and simplified over those contained in the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, they supersede the CFTA rules.Customs Administration. Under NAFTA, Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. have agreed to implement uniform customs procedures and regulations. Uniform procedures ensure that exporters who market their products in more than one NAFTA country will not have to adapt to multiple customs procedures. Most procedures governing rules of origin documentation record keeping, and origin verification will be the same for all three NAFTA countries. In addition, the three will issue advanced rulings, on request, on whether or not a product qualifies for tariff preference under the NAFTA rules of origin.Investment. NAFTA will eliminate investment conditions that restrict the trade of goods and service to Mexico. Among conditions eliminated are the requirements that foreign investors export a given level or percentage of goods or services, use domestic goods or services, transfer technology to competitors, or limit imports to a certain percentage of exports.Services. NAFTA establishes the first comprehensive set of principles governing services trade. U.S. and Canadian financial institutions are permitted to open wholly owned subsidiaries in Mexico, and all restrictions on the services they offer will be lifted by the year 2000. U.S. and Canadian trucking companies are able to carry international cargo into Mexican border states and, by 1999, they will be able to truck throughout Mexico. Intellectual Property. NAFTA will provide the highest standards of protection of intellectual property available in any bilateral or international agreement. The agreement covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, semiconductor integrated circuits, copyrights for North American movies, computer software, and records.Government Procurement. NAFTA guarantees businesses fair and open competition for procurement in North America through transparent and predictable procurement procedures. In Mexico, Pemex (national oil company), CFE (national electric company), and other government-owned enterprises will be open to U.S. and Canadian suppliers. Standards. NAFTA prohibits the use of standards and technical regulations used as obstacles to trade. However, NAFTA provisions do not require the United States orCanada to lower existing health, environmental, or safety regulations, nor does NAFTA require the importation of products that fail to meet each cou ntry’s health and safety standards.9.For each regional trade group—EC, NAFTA, AFTA, ASEAN+3 and Mercosur—cite which ofthe factors for success are the strongest and which are the weakest. Discuss each factor.Students will have different responses to this question. The important point is if they realize the importance of the different factors on the ultimate success of any regional trade group. In most cases, there are cultural, social, economic, political and ever, geographical differences among country members. The critical point is if their commitment to economic integration is sufficiently strong to allow them to deal with the differences that will arise as a result. Each response to this question will be different. For what it is worth, the author would rank them as follows:POLITICA L ECONOMIC SOCIA L GEOGRA PHICEC S S to W S SNAFTA W to S W to S S to W SAFTA S, S W to S W to SMERCOSUR S to W W to S S S10. What is the motive behind ASEAN+3 and what are the probable implications for globaltrade?One result of the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98 was the creation of ASEAN+3 (ASEAN plus China, Japan and South Korea), to deal with trade and monetary issues facing Asia. Most East Asia felt that they were both let down and put upon by the West who they felt created much of the crisis by pulling out in the midst of the crisis. It was felt that the leading financial powers either declined to take part in the rescue operations, as the US did in Thailand, or that they proposed unattainable solutions. The result was the creation of ASEAN+3,1 consisting of the foreign and finance ministers of each country, which meets annually after ASEAN meetings. Their first meeting was devoted to devising a system whereby they share foreign exchange reserves to defend their currencies against future attack. While still only tentative, there was also discussion among the members of ASEAN+3 of creating a common market and even a single currency or, perhaps, a new Asian entity encompassing both Northeast and Southeast Asia.2 Closer links between Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia is seen as a step towards strengthening Asia’s role in the global economy and the creation of a global three-block configuration.311. Discuss the economic and trade importance of the big emerging markets.The Department of Commerce estimates that over 75 percent of the expected growth in the world trade over the next two decades will come from the more than 130 developing and newly industrialized countries (NICs). There is a small core of these that will account for over half of that growth. They predict that the countries identified as Big Emerging Markets (BEMs) alone will be a bigger import market by the end of this decade than the European Union and by the year 2010, will be importing more than the EU and Japan combined.The BEMs differ from other developing countries because they import more than smaller markets an more than economies of similar size. As they embark on economic development, demand for capital goods to build their manufacturing base and develop infrastructure increases. Increased economic activity means more jobs and more income to spend on products not yet produced locally. Thus, as their economies expand, there is an accelerated growth in demand for goods and services, much of which must be imported. BEM merchandise imports are expected to be nearly one trillion dollars higher than they were in 1990; if services are added, the amount jumps beyond one trillion dollars.12.What are the traits of those countries considered to be big emerging markets? DiscussThose BEMs, as the Department of Commerce refers to them, share a number of important traits: They are all physically large; have significant populations; represent considerable markets for a wide range of products; all have strong rates of growth or the potential for significant growth have all undertaken significant problems of economic reforms; are all of major political importance within their regions; are ―regional economic drivers;‖ will engender further expansion in neighborin g markets as they grow.While these criteria are general ion nature and each country does not meet all the criteria, the Department of Commerce has identified the following BEMs. In Asia: China, Indonesia, India, and South Korea. In Latin America: Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. In Africa: South Africa. In Central Europe: Poland. In Southern Europe: Turkey. Vietnam, Thailand, Venezuela, and Columbia may warrant inclusion in the near future. The list is fluid in that some countries will drop off while others will be added as economic conditions change. The message is clear, the Department of Commerce is focusing on countries that demonstrate the greatest potential for growth.Chapter 3History and Geography: The Foundation of Culture2. Why study geography in international marketing? Discuss.Geography is a study of the physical characteristics of a particular region of the earth.Involved in this study are climate, topography, and population. The interaction of thephysical characteristics is one of the princip al determinants of a country’s customs,products, industries, needs, and methods of satisfying those needs.Marketing is concerned with satisfying the needs of people. International marketing seeks out the whole world as its marketplace. Therefore, for an international marketer to know how to satisfy the needs of the international market, he must be familiar enough withgeography to know what the various causal factors of the people’s needs are. He must know that various climates and topographies do exist and that they are vital in shaping themarketing plans that an international marketer must make. As an example, a producer selling machinery in the tropics would have to realize that special protection is needed to keep a machine running properly in hot and humid climates.3. Why study a country’s history? DiscussHistory helps define a nation’s ―mission,‖ how it perceives its neighbors, how it sees its place in the world, and how it sees itself. Insights into the history of a country areimportant for understanding attitudes about the role of government and business, therelations between managers and the managed, the sources of management authority, and attitudes toward foreign corporations.To understand, explain, and appreciate a people’s image of itsel f and the attitudes and unconscious fears that reflected in its view of foreign cultures, it is necessary to study the culture as it is now as well as to understand the culture as it was—that is, a country’s history. Unless you have a historical sense of the many changes that have buffeted Japan—seven centuries under the shogun feudal system,i the isolation before the coming of Admiral Perry in 1853, the threat of domination by colonial powers,ii the rise of new social classes, Western influences, the humiliation of World War II, and involvement in the international community—it is difficult to fully understand its contemporary behavior.Loyalty to family, to country, to company, and to social groups and the strong drive to cooperate, to work together for a common cause, permeate many facets of Japanesebehavior and have historical roots that date back thousands of years. Loyalty and service,a sense of responsibility, and respect for discipline, training, and artistry have beenstressed since ancient times as necessary for stability and order. Confucian philosophy, taught throughout Japan’s history, emphasizes the basic virtue of loyalty ―of friend to friend, of wife to husband, of child to parent, of brother to brother, but, above all, ofsubject to lord,‖ t hat is, to country. A fundamental premise of Japanese ideology reflects the importance of cooperation for the collective good. Japanese achieve consensus by agreeing that all will unite against outside pressures that threaten the collective good. A historical perspective gives the foreigner in Japan a basis on which to begin developing cultural sensitivity and a better understanding of contemporary Japanese behavior.4.How does an understanding of history help an international marketer?1.To understand, explai n, and appreciate a people’s image of itself and the fundamentalattitudes and unconscious fears that are often reflected in its view of foreign cultures, it is necessary to study the culture as it is now as well as to understand culture as it was, that is,a country’s history. An awareness of the history of a country is particularly effective forunderstanding attitudes about the role of government and business, the relations between managers and the managed, the sources of management authority, and attitudes toward foreign MNC’s. History is what helps define a nation’s ―mission,‖ how it perceives its neighbors, and how it sees its place in the world. To understand a country’s attitudes, prejudices, and fears it is necessary to look beyond the surface or current events to the inner subtleties of the country’s entire past for clues.2. 5. Why is there a love/hate relationship between Mexico and the United States? Discuss.A crucial element in understanding any nation’s business and political culture is thesubjective perception of its history. To a Mexican, the United States is seen as a threat to their political, economic, and cultural independence. To most citizens in the United States, the causes for such feelings are a mystery. After all, the U.S. has always been Mexico’s ―good neighbor.‖ Most would agree with President Kennedy’s proclamation during a visit to Mexico, ―Geography has made us neighbors, tradition has made us friends.‖ NorthAmericans may be surprised to learn that most Mexicans felt it more accurate to say,―Geography has made us closer, tradition has made us far apart.‖North Americans feel they have been good neighbors. They see the Monroe Doctrine as protection for Latin America from European colonization and the intervention of Europe in the governments of the Western Hemisphere. Latin Americans tend to see the Monroe Doctrine as an offensive expression of U.S. influence in Latin America. Or to put itanother way, ―Europe keep your hands off, Latin American is only for the United States.‖3.Un ited States Marines sing with pride of their exploits ―form the Halls of Montezuma to theshores of Tripoli.‖ To the Mexican, the ―Halls of Montezuma‖ is remembered as U.S.troops marching all the way to the center of Mexico City and extracting as tribute 890,000 square miles that included Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Most U.S. citizens probably do not know of the boy heroes of Chaptultepec Park but every Mexican can recount the heroism of ―Los Ninos Heroes,‖ and the loss of Mexican territory to the United States.4. 6. Some say the global environment is a global issue rather than a national one. What doesthis mean? Discuss.Many view the problem as a global issue rather than a national one. One report on the global environment stressed . . . ―it is quite clear that a number of critical problems—the threat to the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, the loss of biodiversity, and oceanpollution—cannot be addressed by nations in isolation.‖Companies looking to build manufacturing plants in countries with more liberal pollution regulations than they have at home are finding that regulations everywhere are becoming stricter. Many Asian governments are drafting new regulations and strictly enforcingexisting ones. A strong motivator for Asia and the rest of the world is the realization that pollution is on the verge of getting completely out of control.Neither Western Europe nor the rest of the industrialized world are free of environmental damage; rivers are polluted and the atmosphere in many major urban areas is far from clean.The very process of controlling industrial wastes leads to another and perhaps equallycritical issue: the disposal of hazardous waste, a by-product of pollution control. Estimates of hazardous wastes collected annually exceed 300 million tons; the critical question isdisposal that does not move the problem elsewhere.The business community is responding positively to the notion that the focus must be on the global environment rather than ―the quality of the air, land, and wat er in our ownbackyards.‖ An International Chamber of Commerce Industry Forum on the environment reflected a shift in company attitudes toward environmental issues away from a reactive and largely defensive stance to a proactive and constructive approach. Some skeptics may。

Chapter 1 The Scope and Challenge of International Marketing2.How can the increased interest in international marketing on the part of the U.S. firms beexplained?1)The U.S. market has reached saturation levels for many products, and increasingnumbers of firms are faced with surpluses which must be sold.2) many firms find that return on investment may be higher in foreign markets than indomestic markets.3) more firms realize that tomorrow’s markets will be world markets and it is imperativeto establish world market positions early.3.Discuss the four phases of international marketing involvement.The first phase is domestic firms which have no foreign business activity except those sales made to foreign customers who come directly to the firm.The second is domestic firms which have temporary surpluses which are sold abroad on an availability basis with no intention for continuing market representation.The third is the domestic firms that have permanent productive capacity which is used to produce goods which are sold on a continuing basis in foreign markets.The fourth is the international company that produces a product for the world market.4.Discuss the conditions that have led to the development of global markets.1)new communications technology, travel and other factors led the world markets beingaware of different products and processes.2)Because of this awareness, each market thus had common needs for high quality,reasonably priced, standardized products.3)There is a strong feeling that within ideas from the world affected the tastes andperceived needs of every country market4)There is a strong feeling that world markets are being driven toward a convergingcommonality of taste and needs leading toward global markets.5.Differentiate between a global company and a multinational company.A global company assumes countries have the same needs and designs a standardized, high quality, reasonably priced product for those markets it as if there are no differences among the country markets.A multinational company has a specific marketing plan and adapts products for each country market and think there are cultural differences among countries that require specific adaptations for those markets.6.Differentiate among the three international marketing concepts. 见课件7.Discuss the three factors necessary to achieve global awareness.(1) objectivity; objective in assessing opportunities, evaluating potential, and respondingto problems.

The Tokyo Round(会谈) of GATT has emphasized the reduction of nontariff barriers. How does the Uruguay(乌拉圭) Round differ?Nontariff barriers are all the restrictions imposed on the importation of goods by a host government with the exception of tariffs. Such things as standards, quotas, import licenses, countervailing duties, border taxes can be classified as nontariff barriers.Earlier rounds of negotiations by GATT members had been successful in reducing tariffs and the Tokyo Round focused on the reduction of nontariff barriers.The Tokyo Round start to address a number of nontariff barriers that have become more serious in recent years. Despite the success of these past rounds, high tariffs have not disappeared entirely and nontariff barriers are still widely used. There are also areas that, until now, GATT has not addressed such as services, intellectual property rights, and investment. Specifically, GATT negotiations in this round are to address key areas of importance in international trade which are not now under the scope of GATT rules. For example, GATT rules do not apply to the international trade of services which represent an increasing percentage of international trade flows. Similarly, GATT rules have little influence over government investment policies affecting international trade or on policies concerning the protection of intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Agricultural trade is another area where GATT rules either do not apply or arenot effective. Finally, the dispute settlement mechanism is seen to be increasinglyineffective at resolving conflicts among GATT members.3. Discuss the impact of GATS, TRIMS, AND TRIPS on global trade.An important objective of the United States in the Uruguay Round was to reduce oreliminate barriers to international trade in services. While there is still much progress tobe made before free trade in services will exist throughout the world, the GeneralAgreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is the first multilateral, legally enforceableagreement covering trade and investment in services sector. It provides a legal basis forfuture negotiations aimed at eliminating barriers that discriminate against foreign servicestrade and deny them market access. For the first time, comprehensive multilateraldisciplines and procedures covering trade and investment in services have beenestablished. Specific market-opening concessions from a wide range of individualcountries were achieved and provision was made for continued negotiations to furtherliberalize telecommunications and financial services.Equally significant were the results of negotiations in the investment sector. Trade-RelatedInvestment Measures (TRIMs), established the basic principle that investment restrictionscan be major trade barriers and therefore are included, for the first time, under GATTprocedures. An initial set of specific practices were prohibited including: local contentrequirements specifying that some amount of the value of the investor’s production m purchased from local sources or produced locally; trade balancing requirements specifyingthat an investor must export an amount equivalent to some proportion of imports orcondition the amount of imports permitted on export levels; and, foreign exchangebalancing requirements limiting the importation of products used in local production byrestricting its access to foreign exchange to an amount related to its exchange inflow. As aresult of TRIMs, restrictions in Indonesia which prohibit foreign firms from opening theirown wholesale or retail distribution channels can be challenged. And so can investmentrestrictions in Brazil that require foreign-owned manufacturers to buy most of theircomponents from high-cost local suppliers and that affiliates of foreign multinationalsmaintain a trade surplus in Brazil’s favor by exporting more than they sell within.Another objective of the United States from the Uruguay Round was achieved by anagreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs). The TRIPsagreement establishes substantially higher standards of protection for a full range ofintellectual property rights (patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, industrial designs,and semiconductor chip mask works) than are embodied in current international agreementsand it provides for the effective enforcement of those standards both internally and at theborder.4. Discuss the evolution of world trade that has led to the formulation of the WTO.Since the inception of GATT, there have been eight “rounds” of intergovernmental tariff negotiations. The most recently completed was the Uruguay round which built on thesuccess of the Tokyo Round, the most comprehensive and far-reaching round undertakenby GATT up to that time. The Tokyo Round resulted in tariff cuts and set new international rules for subsidies and countervailing measures, anti-dumping, government procurement, technical barriers to trade (standards), customs valuation, and import licensing. While the Tokyo Round addressed n on-tariff barriers, there were some areas not covered by that round which continued to impede free trade. In addition to market access, there were issues of trade in services, agriculture, and textiles; intellectual property rights; and investment and capital flows.. T he Uruguay Round was begun in 1986 in Punta del Este, Uruguay and finally concluded in 1994. By 1995, 80 GATT members including the United States, the European Union (and it member states) Japan, and Canada had accepted the agreement. Perhaps the most notable achievement of the Uruguay Round was the creation of a new institution as a successor to the GATT, the World Trade Organization (WTO). At the signing of the Uruguay Round trade agreement, U.S. representatives pushed for an enormous expansion of the definition of trade issues. The result was the creation of the World Trade Organization that encompasses the current GATT structure and extends it to new areas not adequately covered in the past. The WTO is an institution—not an agreement as was GATT. It will set the rules governing trade between its 117 members, provide a panel of experts to hear and rule on trade disputes between members and, unlike GATT, issue binding decisions. It will require for the first time, the full participation of all members in all aspects of the currentGATT and the Uruguay Round agreements a nd, through its enhanced stature and scope, provide a permanent, comprehensive forum to address the trade issues of the 21st century global market. Trade disputes will be heard by a panel of experts. A panel of experts, selected by the WTO, will hear both sides and issue a decision; the winning side will beauthorized to retaliate with trade sanctions if the losing country does not change its practices.While the WTO has no actual means of enforcement, international pressure to comply with WTO decisions from other member countries is expected to force compliance. The WTO ensures that member countries agree to the obligations of all the agreements, c ountries, including developing countries (the fastest growing markets of the world) will undertake obligations to open their markets and to be bound by the rules of the multilateral tradingsystem.This exercise is designed to familiarize the student with the Internet and issues GATT as well as the WTO. In addition to the various Rounds of GATT, this site is a completediscussion of WTO. The discussion of this question could include a broader discussion of WTO.5.U. S. exports to the European Community are expected to decline in future years. Whatmarketing actions may a company take to counteract such changes?An economic unity such as the EC is primarily concerned with increases of trade withinits member-countries because they want to raise their own production and gain througheconomic growth that their specialized members can supply. It may be said that the ECwants to decrease their trade with nonmember nations. One study has shown some proportional declines already.What the U.S. marketer should do to counteract such actions is to, as rapidly as possible,expand exports to this market. More important, the marketers should build new andexpand EC-located, U.S.-owned industries and marketing facilities to strengthen theirposition before it becomes too late. EC members are now busy building new plants andpoint of view, establishing their outlets and markets. From the U.S. foreign marketer’sthere is no time to waste, otherwise they will lose some of the grip they have establishedin Europe.Also, keeping in mind that many other Western European countries are again interested inA soundjoining EC. The typical argument: “It will be too expensive to stay outside.”policy for American companies wanting or dependent upon marketing in the Europeanmarket might increase their potential in EFTA.6.“Because they are dynamic and because they have great growth possibilities, themultinational markets are likely to be especially rough-and-tumble for the externalbusiness.” Discuss.The attractive growth and profit opportunities in multinational markets tend to draw themore aggressive marketers into competition. Whereas, a company may have virtually nocompetition in its home market, it may be competing with three or four major firms in themultinational market. National interest gives preferential treatment of various types tofirms from member nations and intensifies the normal market competition.7.Discuss the implica tions of the European Union’s decision to admit Eastern European nationsto the group.The admission of Eastern European nations into the EU will create an ever larger andmore economically important than the present EU. The globalization of markets, therestructuring of Eastern Europe into independent market-driven economies, thedissolution of the Soviet Union into independent states, the worldwide trend towardeconomic cooperation, and enhanced global competition make it important that marketpotential be viewed in the context of regions of the world rather than country by country.Formal economic cooperation agreements such as the EC are the most notable examplesof multinational market groups but many new coalitions are forming, old ones are beingre-energized, and the possibility of many new cooperative arrangements is on the horizon.8.Discuss the strategic marketing implications of the Canada-United States-Mexico Free TradeAgreement.NAFTA affects a variety of strategic issues, the most important of which are:Market Access. Within 10 years of implementation, all tariffs will be eliminated onNorth American industrial products traded between Canada, Mexico, and the UnitedStates. All trade between Canada and the U.S. not already duty free will be duty free by1998 as provided for in CFTA. Mexico will immediately eliminate tariffs on nearly 50percent of all industrial goods imported from the U.S., and remaining tariffs will bephased out entirely within 15 years.Nontariff Barriers. In addition to elimination of tariffs, Mexico will eliminate nontariff barriers and other trade-distorting restrictions. U.S. exporters will benefit immediately from the removal of most import licenses that have acted as quotas essentially limiting the importation of products into the Mexican market. NAFTA also eliminates a host of other Mexican barriers such as local content, local production, and export performance requirements that have limited U.S. exports.Rules of Origin. NAFTA reduces tariffs only for goods made in North America. Tough rules of origin will determine whether goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment underfrom benefiting through NAFTA. Rules of origin are designed to prevent “free riders” minor processing or transshipment of non-NAFTA goods. For example, Japan could not assemble autos in Mexico and avoid U.S. or Canadian tariffs and quotas unless the auto had a specific percentage of Mexican (i.e., North American) content. For goods to be traded duty free, they must contain substantial (62.5 percent) North American content. Since NAFTA rules of origin have been strengthened, clarified, and simplified over those contained in the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, they supersede the CFTA rules. Customs Administration. Under NAFTA, Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. have agreed to implement uniform customs procedures and regulations. Uniform procedures ensure that exporters who market their products in more than one NAFTA country will not have to adapt to multiple customs procedures. Most procedures governing rules of origin documentation record keeping, and origin verification will be the same for all three NAFTA countries. In addition, the three will issue advanced rulings, on request, on whether or not a product qualifies for tariff preference under the NAFTA rules of origin. Investment. NAFTA will eliminate investment conditions that restrict the trade of goods and service to Mexico. Among conditions eliminated are the requirements that foreign investors export a given level or percentage of goods or services, use domestic goods or services, transfer technology to competitors, or limit imports to a certain percentage of exports.Services.NAFTA establishes the first comprehensive set of principles governing services trade. U.S. and Canadian financial institutions are permitted to open wholly owned subsidiaries in Mexico, and all restrictions on the services they offer will be lifted by the year 2000. U.S. and Canadian trucking companies are able to carry international cargo into Mexican border states and, by 1999, they will be able to truck throughout Mexico. Intellectual Property. NAFTA will provide the highest standards of protection of intellectual property available in any bilateral or international agreement. The agreement covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, semiconductor integrated circuits, copyrights for North American movies, computer software, and records. Government Procurement. NAFTA guarantees businesses fair and open competition for procurement in North America through transparent and predictable procurement procedures. In Mexico, Pemex (national oil company), CFE (national electric company), and other government-owned enterprises will be open to U.S. and Canadian suppliers. Standards. NAFTA prohibits the use of standards and technical regulations used as obstacles to trade. However, NAFTA provisions do not require the United States orCanada to lower existing health, environmental, or safety regulations, nor does NAFTAhealth and safety require the importation of products that fail to meet each country’sstandards.9.For each regional trade group—EC, NAFTA, AFTA, ASEAN+3 and Mercosur—cite which ofthe factors for success are the strongest and which are the weakest. Discuss each factor.Students will have different responses to this question. The important point is if they realize the importance of the different factors on the ultimate success of any regional trade group. In most cases, there are cultural, social, economic, political and ever, geographical differences among country members. The critical point is if their commitment to economic integration is sufficiently strong to allow them to deal with the differences that will arise as a result. Each response to this question will be different. For what it is worth, the author would rank them as follows:POLITICAL ECONOMIC SOCIAL GEOGRAPHIC EC S S to W S SNAFTA W to S W to S S to W SAFTA S, S W to S W to SMERCOSUR S to W W to S S S10. What is the motive behind ASEAN+3 and what are the probable implications for globaltrade?One result of the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98 was the creation of ASEAN+3 (ASEAN plus China, Japan and South Korea), to deal with trade and monetary issues facing Asia. Most East Asia felt that they were both let down and put upon by the West who they felt created much of the crisis by pulling out in the midst of the crisis. It was felt that the leading financial powers either declined to take part in the rescue operations, as the US did in Thailand, or that they proposed unattainable solutions. The result was the creation of ASEAN+3,1 consisting of the foreign and finance ministers of each country, which meets annually after ASEAN meetings. Their first meeting was devoted to devising a system whereby they share foreign exchange reserves to defend their currencies against future attack. While still only tentative, there was also discussion among the members of ASEAN+3 of creating a common market and even a single currency or, perhaps, a new Asian entity encompassing both Northeast and Southeast Asia.2 Closer links between Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia is seen as a step towards-block strengthening Asia’s role in the global economy and the creation of a global three configuration.311. Discuss the economic and trade importance of the big emerging markets.The Department of Commerce estimates that over 75 percent of the expected growth in the world trade over the next two decades will come from the more than 130 developing and newly industrialized countries (NICs). There is a small core of these that will account for over half of that growth. They predict that the countries identified as Big Emerging。

Global Marketing:c Polycentric Orientation:d Geocentric Orientation:e Regiocentric Orientation:Levels of International Marketing Involvementpanies have different degrees of commitment to international involvement; thefour levels of commitment are:a.Domestic marketing: The firm has the least commitment to internationalmarketing, with a focus solely on domestic consumers and on the home-country environment. Yet, even the local company cannot avoid the impactof the international environment on its operations: The home-countryenvironment is affected by events in the international environment and byinternational competition.b.Export marketing: The firm is indirectly or directly involved in exporting.While the firm seeks international clients, it considers the international marketto be a simple extension of the domestic market.c.International marketing: The firm has substantial focus on internationalconsumers in one or more countries. The firm has sales offices orsubsidiaries in different countries or is an active partner in alliances with localcompanies. However, the firm’s international activities ar e not coordinatedacross different countries. An international company has on of twophilosophies toward internationalization: polycentric (decentralized, nocoordination with firms in other countries) or regiocentric (with a region-widemarketing approach).d.Global marketing: The firm coordinates its marketing activities acrossdifferent countries without focusing primarily on national or regionalsegmentation. The strategy is possible due to the emergence of uniformglobal consumer segments and it entails an efficient global allocation ofcompany resources.Drivers in the Business Environment:petition: Competitive pressure from international companies will force thecompany to expand to new markets, even less profitable ones. (Example: McCannErickson advertising agency followed, until recently, its client Coca-Cola around theworld).2.Regional Economic and Political Integration: Involves lowering or eliminating barriersbetween neighboring countries and promoting trade within each regional market.Integration facilitates international trade for companies in member countries, and forcompanies from countries outside of the area.3.Technology: Media development exposes consumers worldwide to foreignprogramming. The Internet offers small and medium enterprises in both high- andlow-income countries unlimited international exposure. Technology offers a broadreach to these businesses whose advertising budget cannot cover the high cost ofinternational broadcast and print advertising.4.Improvements in the Transportation and Telecommunication Infrastructure:Improvements in telecommunications have lowered costs and allowed faster andmore efficient methods of communicating across borders. Outsourcing of customerservice to other countries has become more popular due to improvements intelecommunications. Efficient and fast travel allows for frequent interaction betweensubsidiaries in foreign countries and the headquarters. The introduction of containersin intermodal transportation and electronic communication between suppliers andcustomers greatly facilitates the transportation of physical goods.5.Economic Growth: Attributed to the emergence of a strong middle class in largemarkets. Economic growth created markets of high potential for international brands,while also opening previously closed markets.6.Transition to a Market Economy: The opening of previously closed markets inCentral and Eastern Europe and in China, and the subsequent deregulation andprivatization of former government monopolies created important new marketopportunities for international brands.7.Converging Consumer Needs: Consumers’ exposure to global brands createddemand for global products and worldwide loyalty to international brands. Theemergence of uniform consumer segments facilitates marketing strategies worldwide.Consumers, in their travels, learn of new product offerings and request them fromhome-country retailers, thus generating pull demand.Obstacles to Internationalization - Companies attempting to establish international presence are likely to encounter obstacles both from within the company and from the outside environment. Among the barriers to internationalization that companies face are the self-reference criterion, government barriers, and international competition.Domestic Marketing: Marketing that is focused solely on domestic consumers and on the home environment.Global Marketing: International marketing activities that do not have a country or a region focus and that are possibly due to the emergence of global consumer segments and efficient global allocation of company talent and resources.Polycentric Orientation: Company strategies predicated on the assumption that each country’s market in unique and should be addressed individually, with a country-specific marketing mix. Geocentric Orientation:Regiocentric Orientation: Company strategies that view world regions as distinct markets that share economic, political, and cultural traits that will respond to a region-wide marketing approach.REVIEW QUESTIONS:True/False1.True2.True3.True4.False5.FalseMultiple Choice1.
