Learning Resources
Required Resources
An older text will be used as a guide for theory and core concepts.
As global markets change constantly, even a recent book can get outdated quickly as far as country analysis. This course aims to offer news articles, events and information which will be current to supplement your learning.
A recommended book is:
Cateora P, Sullivan Mort G, Weerawardena J, D'Souza C, Taghian M, Graham J, 2012, International marketing 2E, McGraw Hill Australia.
Recommended Resources
TurnItIn
Students undertaking this course must submit all written individual assignments and group reports to TurnItIn through the MyUni Developing Global Markets’ homepage. TurnItIn is a plagiarism prevention service that detects text that is copied from other sources and may not be referenced or acknowledged appropriately.
REFERENCES
Throughout the course I encourage you to use a variety of journal articles. In addition, there are many textbooks available from the Barr Smith Library which also provide relevant and useful knowledge on international marketing theories and concepts.
Also view sites such as business councils and groups, government sites for country information, marketing journals, websites and reports of world forums and economic groups, trade bloc sites and quality research company reports or releases. Below are a few suitable books as well.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
