MARKETNG 3501 - Marketing to the World

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2020

International marketing is a rapidly growing area within the disciplines of marketing and international business. Central to international marketing is the response of international rather than domestic buyers in the marketing environment, the types of decisions that are most feasible and the information required in decision making. During this course, the student will gain insights into the pressures created by the international economic, political, legal and cultural environmental influences on marketing planning. This course will enable students to learn analytical skills required to develop international marketing plans and develop the marketing mix elements in the international environment. International marketing is one of five subjects in the marketing discipline and extends the knowledge developed in marketing management into the international rather than the domestic market. The major theories include, pathways of internationalisation, political and economic risk analysis, international planning, cultural distance, branding for international markets, international market entry, distribution strategies and adaptation versus standardisation. The conceptual material developed during this course will be implemented through class exercises, case studies and a major project.

Students are also expected to read all course-related announcements posted on the course website. If you fail to do this, you may miss out on important information. Please ensure you read email notifications and course notifications.

The 最新糖心Vlog has determined that all lectures are online because of COVID-19.

Tutorials complement lectures so again, it is strongly recommended you attend. Tutorials and lectures start week ONE. There are no lectures NOR tutorials in week 9 as the public holiday in October disrupts study.

Learning & Teaching Modes

This course is delivered with a two-hour lecture and one-hour tutorial per week.

Current news events, case studies and readings will be part of learning including videos and discussion.

In order to perform well in this course, students must have a strong command of the relevant international marketing theories and concepts covered in class and successfully apply them in individual assignments and group projects. Therefore, students are expected to have reviewed the topic to be discussed every week and be fully prepared for each class. In addition, there is a strong assumption that students will engage in class discussions in an informed way. The communication skills developed in tutorials by regularly and actively participating in discussions are considered to be most important by the School and are highly regarded by employers.

Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Related Requirements

Students undertaking International Marketing are expected to satisfy all following assessment requirements:

1. To gain a pass for this course, a mark of at least 45% must be obtained on the examination as well as a total of at least 50% overall. Students not achieving the minimum exam mark will be awarded no more than 49.

2. Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. If we cannot read your writing it becomes impossible to mark.

3. Students are encouraged to check their marks and notify the Lecturer-in-Charge of any discrepancies.

4. All assignments will be checked for plagiarism via TurnItIn through the MyUni website. This is a computer programme that detects plagiarised work.

This course has Group Work. Please note, in life you must work with other people, some may have different communication styles, working styles, levels of ability. ALL group members receive the same mark for the written and presenting components. It is up to the group to work co-operatively together and ensure everyone does their fair share.

Should there be a group situation that cannot be resolved, you have UNTIL WEEK 4 ONLY to alert your tutor. It may be required that one member or members may have to work solo or in pairs if the matter cannot be resolved. Please note, after Week 4
there will be no further discussion on this with tutors except should there be serious medical circumstances. In all group work, all group members MUST participate and contribute.

For ALL assessable works, please use quality research sources. This means you DO NOT use Wikipedia, blogs, Kwintessential, unknown websites with no authors (unless they are government or industry or corporate sites). So do not use essay sites, case study sites, slideshare. Some theory sources are useful for all pieces.

Submission

Presentation of Assignments
· Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted.
· Try to attach an ‘assignment cover sheet’ which is signed and dated by you before submission. All pieces must be put online to Turnitin by the due time and date. In the event of an unexplained computer outage, please ensure you have a quality paper copy which could be available at short notice.
· All team members are expected to contribute approximately equally to a group assignment. One person puts the assignment on TurnItIn and ONE copy only of the paper version is given during presentations. Please ensure you have your names on the paper reports and case studies as a header or footnote (name and student ID/s) plus the cover page.

Lecturers can refuse to accept assignments, which do not have a signed acknowledgement of the 最新糖心Vlog’s policy on plagiarism.

Assignment Guidelines including Referencing Details
A copy of the Undergraduate Communication Skills Guide is available at MyUni. Other elements which are helpful to your assignments and understanding are posted on MyUni for this course. PLEASE READ THEM as they should ASSIST YOU.

The Guide provides guidelines on a range of other important communication skills including writing essays and management reports and making oral presentations. In preparing any written piece of assessment for your undergraduate studies it is important to draw on the relevant ‘literature’ to support critical analysis so this means marketing and international marketing journals. You can also view quality government and private business sites which offer factual information. Correct referencing is important because it identifies the source of the ideas and arguments that you present, and sometimes the source of the actual words you use, and helps to avoid the problem of plagiarism (further information on plagiarism is provided in this course outline.)

Information on referencing will be provided in the course in the first week. Please DO NOT plagiarise by not acknowledging all facts, theory, direct quotes, indirect but paraphrased ideas or concepts.

Late Assignment Submission
Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day or part day (24 hours) that it is late. A weekend is two days.

Return of Assignments
Lecturers and tutors aim to mark and return assignments to students within two (2) weeks of the due date with written feedback. If there are computer glitches or public holidays or late assignments it may stray outside these days but we will do our best.

Students are STRONGLY advised to keep separate copies of the assessment pieces. More than one group member needs a copy. Keep a copy on a USB as well as your computer. You may wish to email your report and assessment materials to your own email addresses as another safeguard. DO NOT re submit any materials or partial materials you have done at ANY COURSE previously (at this university, another undergraduate course or any other course) as this is likely to show up on TurnItIn.
I will not hesitate to refer any suspected plagiarism issues to the Academic Integrity.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog 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 最新糖心Vlog 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.

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.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
