It the world of international marketing, it’s not borders that separate countries, it’s culture.
Recommendation
Author Simon Anholt, an international advertising consultant, says that the dangers of globalization can be just as formidable as the opportunities - if you fail to research the culture of your new markets. We’ve all heard the marketing legends of companies that embarrassed themselves by launching products into foreign markets without checking the translation of their brand names. Anholt retells several of these tales to illustrate the perils that await global firms that don’t take culture into account. Meshing advertising and marketing strategy, he presents a systemic approach to cross-border product expansion. GetAbstract recommends this book not only for its insightful, culturally adaptive marketing methodology, but also for the genuinely entertaining examples that might just make you laugh out loud.
