Description The Contemporary Global Marketing and Responsibility Issues module is a specialist module that will introduce students to the essential concepts, theories and perspectives of Global Marketing in a contemporary context through the use of real-world case studies from North America, Europe and the emerging markets of China, India and Latin America. Whilst the aforementioned countries will be in focus, the ‘Global context’ undertaken will incorporate a balanced coverage of both ‘emerging’ and ‘developed’ markets. The module will be practical in its delivery and will equip students with the tools needed to make socially responsible strategic marketing decisions and find solutions in a global business environment. Real-world challenges introduced through engaging practice-led examples will be explored through group based activities and problem-based learning scenarios. The scope of module content will include a mix of theory and practical applications covering themes such as globalization, responsible business, global branding strategies, classification models of culture and the consequences of culture for all aspects of marketing communications.
