Global Marketing Management
• 1970s – “standardization versus adaptation”
• 1980s – “globalization versus localization”
• 1990s – “global integration versus local responsiveness”
• The trend back toward localization is caused by the new
efficiencies of customization made possible by the Internet
and increasingly flexible manufacturing processes.
• From the marketing perspective customization is always best.
• As global markets continue to homogenize and diversify
simultaneously, the best companies will avoid the trap of
focusing on country as the primary segmentation variable.

Ethnocentrism
• The key to successful international marketing is adaptation to the
environmental differences from one market to another.

- Associated ethnocentrism
SRC is an unconscious reference to
one’s own cultural values,
experiences, and knowledge as a basis
for decisions.
Ethnocentrism is the notion that
one’s own culture or company knows
best how to do things.
