ГЛОБАЛЬНАЯ СИСТЕМА УПРАВЛЕНИЯ И МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЙ МАРКЕТИНГ (GLOBAL GOVERNANCE AND INTERNATIONAL MARKETING) Преподается на английском языке.
Products and services around the world are transcending national and political boundaries at incredible pace. Due to technological advances, particularly the diffusion of digital technologies and communication devices, the landscape of business has changed drastically creating a plethora of opportunities and challenges at the same time. Companies are now confronted by the rapid globalization of markets and competition that could favor the company to get benefits from unique worldwide brand identity and economies of scale in R&D, marketing, and manufacturing. However all these changes could bring down responsiveness to local markets, slow down most marketing decisions and make worldwide brands more vulnerable.
The environment that managers face is one that is filled with complexity and contradictions. This requires global managers and especially marketers to possess a global perspective. A global manager needs to develop special set of knowledge, skills, and competencies allowing them to meet the changing, emerging, and increasingly complex conditions associated with globalization and intricately bound local markets. Apart from a common set of traits, global marketer requires a set of specialized skills, capabilities, and competencies. It includes sensitivity to cultural diversity, ability to use technology, information systems, and telecommunications effectively to collect and integrate market information all around the world, understanding of cross-cultural issues that impact marketing activities, ability to scan of competitors on a global basis and so forth.
To master those skills, capabilities, and competencies the course is based more on student-centered learning methods, with less use of direct instruction (chalk and talk). Classroom discussions (student with student and instructor with student), games, cooperative learning, guest lectures are the main teaching methods for the course. On guest lectures, students will learn contemporary knowledge and tools from prominent industry experts on such topics as global product management, global advertising and global marketing research. Among guest lecturers are top managers from Acronis, P&G, Intel and Unilever.
This course provides students with all rigor academic frameworks and models whose application in real world is shown through cases, projects, and outside speakers’ experience.
The main deliverables of the course are tasks from guest speakers, country snapshot presentation, and final project on developing marketing plan for product launch in foreign markets.
