Explore how contemporary issues shape global marketing

In this course you will critically analyse contemporary issues in global marketing. You will investigate the concept of bottom of the pyramid consumers who despite earning less than $2 a day have huge potential to become consumers of products, which represents an untapped source of value for global marketers.

You will also explore future trends in global marketing and look at how these might shape future managerial practice. For example, how could artificial intelligence change global marketing? Is globalisation as driver of growth and prosperity still a valid narrative?

  • Emerging markets
  • Future trends in global marketing and their impact on practice
