competencies/skills:
Students learn to deal with marketing problems, which occur due to the internationalization and globalization of markets, in a proper and critical manner. They understand how the host country’s legal, political, economic, and financial environment impacts the marketing activities. Students are able to develop a marketing strategy for companies in terms of how they should adapt products, prices, distribution channels, and communication to different target markets across the world. For instance, students understand, which factors drive international price setting practices (e.g., varied tariffs and price acceptance). As a result, they are able to calculate product prices for different international target markets. Upon completion of the course, students will have gained a comprehensive overview of global marketing management and the interplay of specific factors in this field.

The adjunct tutorial contributes to gaining these learning outcomes. Students are able to critically reflect on specific topics presented during the lecture and related issues in a thorough manner. They obtain the ability to deal with pertinent scientific literature (e.g., Journal of International Marketing). Hereby, they are able to acquire new knowledge on their own. Further, students obtain the capability to transfer theoretical concepts from the lecture to managerial problems by discussing business cases.
