International Marketing in Times of Sustainability and Digitalization - by Erika Graf (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Given today's challenges, companies are confronted with pressing questions: Are marketing and sustainability a contradiction? How can digitalization support marketers beyond digital advertising? These questions must be addressed in an international context since, for most companies, international business is more a reality than just a strategic option as it was just a few decades ago.

This book provides insights into the fundamentals of international marketing with a focus on these topics because they are commonplace in today's international marketing. It presents theories and concepts of international marketing in a concise form along with many real-world examples. The book explores how digitalization makes potential connections and advances available to marketing and how marketing can contribute to shaping a more sustainable future. It is a must read for students interested in the topic and managers who are confronted with these challenges.

Review Quotes

"The book succeeds in a very clever way to present the basics of international marketing and at the same time introduces sustainability and digitalization as cross-sectional functions to these basics. The book thus addresses the challenges for international marketing in a very appropriate way and provides important insights"
Dr. Tim Alexander Herberger, Assoc. Professor at Andrássy University, Hungary

"In the next 5 years, most companies will come across a fundamental change through digitalization of business models and fully embracing sustainability in everything they do.

Dr. Rüdiger Kraege, Chief Commercial Officer at BRITA Group, Germany
