Contenu du cours

The course enables students to understand the particular challenges and opportunities which emerging markets present for international marketers. In a first instance, the particular context characteristics of emerging markets will be considered, and students, in multicultural teams, will apply this knowledge to research a specific emerging market. Then, the marketing challenges relating to entering and developing products for emerging markets will be considered.
Emerging market strategies will be analysed. The particular role of technology and its disruptive use in emerging markets will be considered. The bottom of the pyramid will be studied as a special type of emerging market. Students will reflect on what responsible marketing in emerging markets might entail.

Industry practitioner input will provide concrete examples of how, in practice, they enter and compete in emerging markets.
