MARKETNG 7024OL - Developing Global Markets (M)

Online - Semester 1 - 2014

International marketing is of growing importance to policy makers and firms as the phenomenon described as globalisation is believed to create a convergence of cultures, political and economic systems. There is supporting and contradicting evidence for this proposition: that there is a congruence of economic and political systems, but cultures remain firmly rooted within nations and this is borne out by recent conflicts that appear to be culturally based. Further, international terrorism and natural disasters are creating risks and challenges for nations and their decision makers which require systematic analysis and risk reduction strategies. At the centre of all these issues is the consumer whose needs and wants the international marketing manager wants to understand so that firms can create marketing mixes that can match these. Therefore the international marketer has to understand the nature of these uncontrollable environmental variables and work within these to develop suitable marketing strategies to enter and operate within countries.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    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.
