Core Principles of International Marketing
Babu John-Mariadoss · Texas Tech University
This textbook can be used for an introductory level International Marketing course. Although the term ‘International Marketing’ has used throughout the book, the content will pretty much be as applicable if they are read in the context of a ‘Global Marketing’ course. Therefore, the textbook can also be used for an introductory level course in ‘Global Marketing’, and I encourage instructors of the undergraduate ‘Global Marketing’ course to adopt this textbook.
