The challenges of product and media proliferation, distribution channels and media will also be discussed.  The opportunities for successful marketing in a European environment will be explored. The course provides the students with a comparative framework for understanding different marketing systems, and macro-environmental variables of different countries. Participants will also be able to develop and implement a competitive marketing strategy for Europe.
