, Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
International marketing is necessary because, from a national standpoint, economic
isolationism has become impossible. Failure to participate in the global marketplace
assures a nation of declining economic capability and its citizens of a decrease in their
standard of living. Successful international marketing, however, holds the promise of an
improved quality of life, a better society, and more efficient business transactions.
This chapter is designed to increase the awareness of the readers regarding what
international marketing is about. It describes current levels of world trade activities,
projects future developments, and discusses the repercussions on countries, institutions,
and individuals worldwide. Both the opportunities and the threats that spring from the
global marketplace are highlighted, and the need for an international marketing approach
on the part of individuals and institutions is emphasized.
