Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course seeks to develop decision-making skills for the successful formulation, implementation and control of international marketing strategies. It builds directly on the knowledge gained from the International Marketing Management 1 course and highlights strategic and managerial issues related to international marketing.

The course involves a combination of formal lectures and workshop sessions, placing particular emphasis on student participation.

To develop interpersonal and communication skills, case studies and exercises (as well as the Group Project – see section on Assessment below) will be tackled in groups of 4-5 students. All students/groups must come prepared to all case study discussions and exercises. Failure to do so will adversely affect their class participation grades.

Assessment and permitted materials

Performance in the course will be assessed as follows:
• Mid-term Exam 20%
• Group Project Presentation 25%
• Sales Negotiation Exercise 10%
• Final Exam 45%

No material other than a dictonary may be used in the final exam.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

As the course has “prüfungsimmanenten Charakter”, attendance is compulsory throughout the semester (see also Admission Policies on our homepage); more than three absences will automatically result in a “failed” grade.

A minimum of 50 percent needs to be attained overall to pass the course. The grading system looks as follows: 0 to 49% - grade 5, 50 to 59% - grade 4, 60 to 69% - grade 3, 70 to 79% - grade 2, 80 to 100% - grade 1.

Students who fail must repeat the entire course (and must register in the usual way next time the course is offered). No alternative formats of assessment or make-ups will be offered.

Examination topics

Mid-term exam will cover chapters 9-13. The exam takes 60 minutes and comprises of essay questions based on a case study. The group project involves the preparation and presentation of a Global Strategy Report for an internationally-active organization (further details will be given in the Introduction/Vorbesprechung session); the same grade will be awarded to all students belonging to the same group. Sales negotiation exercise takes 90 minutes (further details will be given in the lectures in due time). The final exam takes 60 minutes and comprises single-choice questions, and essay questions. The exam will be based on the textbook, additional readings and material covered in the lectures (including case studies).

Reading list

Textbook: The required text for the course (also used in the International Marketing Management 1) is: Hollensen S. (2011): Global Marketing - A Decision-Oriented Approach, 5th edition, Prentice Hall. Using edition 4&6 is also feasible, please check for differences in chapter numbers and case studies.
