Description	The Implementing International Marketing module allows for students to build upon their theoretical knowledge and practical skills gained in the International Marketing module. This module seeks to extend the depth of knowledge about the development and implementation of international marketing strategies. It focusses on the processes adopted by marketing professionals: analysis, development, and most important, the implementation of international marketing strategies, and refinement in response to tactical / short term imperatives. Alongside the academic knowledge, the development of employability skills will be achieved through practical work in which students will be supported to develop their ability to choose the most effective strategies, assess implementation and managerial implications; and critically evaluate strategic marketing analysis methods with respect to their validity and relevance.
