    Regardless of the size of the company, the tangibility or intangibility of their product, or if the company operates in a domestic or international market, the basic approach to marketing processes will be the same (Virtual Advisor, Inc., 2009). The company must target a market that will buy the product, products must be created to fill a need, pricing must support sales of the product, and distribution must be achievable. There are various economic, political, legal, and social environmental factors that differentiate the global market from domestic markets (Bearden, 2009). Apple must account for this fact when formulating a marketing plan to enter the marketplace of a different country. Entry and growth in foreign markets comes with it new rules and regulations to be followed. In preparation for entry into foreign markets, Apple Inc. has registered or applied for trademark protection in a number of foreign countries (Apple Inc., 2011). If the company is to be successful, it must continue to assess the economic climate before developing within a foreign country. Considerations, such as physical, financial, and demographic characteristics must also be assessed before…

    is an "independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, production, marketing and sale of crude oil, NGLs, and natural gas production"(Canadian Natural Resource Limited: TSE:CNQ quotes and news, n.d.). The company is environmentally conscious, very charitable (with projects such as funding the refurbishment and renovation of schools in Africa), is very safety conscious (with an ever-decreasing number of accidents with its employees) and at the same time is very profitable. CNRL had a net income of 688.41 million in 2001 which grew to 1.60 billion by 2010, and from this data, it can be gathered that the net income will only continue to rise and Canadian Natural Resources will continue to strive. The company maintains many projects which provide a stable financial situation for the company. At the same time, CNRL is not content to flat-line as it is aggressively searching out new projects as well as expanding to other continents. Despite all this, they are very financially inconsistent (but always profitable) and thus, very hard to accurately create a 5 Year Projection Plan for the company. Because of the many different projects and its willingness to try different avenues, CNRL will most likely stay a growing financially profitable company. After the large, expected profits over the next 7-10 years, CNRL will have the financial flexibility to begin to explore other energy efficient resources such as solar energy. By owning 100% of their facilities and having short-term,…

    The process of penetrating and then developing an international market is a difficult one, which many companies still identify as an Achilles ' heel in their global capabilities. Two aspects of the typical approach are particularly striking. First, companies often pursue this new business opportunity with a focus on minimizing risk and investment—the complete opposite of the approach usually advocated for genuine start-up situations. Second, from a marketing perspective, many companies break the founding principle of marketing—that a firm should start by analyzing the market, and then, and only then, decide on its offer in terms of products, services, and marketing programs. In fact, it is far more common to see international markets as opportunities to increase sales of existing products and so to adopt a "sales push" rather than a market-driven approach. Given this overall approach, it is not surprising that performance is often disappointing. Profitability in international markets has lagged behind average firm profitability for much of the last two decades (the "foreign investment profitability gap"). This may well be because of what Ghemawat and Ghadar describe as "top-line obsession," a focus on revenue growth rather than profitability growth.1…
