This course deepens the approach of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME's) to the international markets.
With the arrival of the new technologies of planning and communication, each enterprise can call itself, at least potentially, international.
This course aims to provide the attendants with the tools to face the evaluation of the international markets, the definition and the carrying out of marketing strategies and politics, and the management of commercial transactions with foreign countries.
In particular, the program does not intend to limit itself to describing the cultural peculiarities of the developing markets, but to deepen the main managerial problems and to show how to manage the marketing tools to make effective the relationships between companies and foreign markets. Particular attention, during the course, will be attributed to the way of building a marketing plan for the export. A thorough analysis will be reserved to some countries particularly relevant for Italian export.

Investigate, analyze and assess the environment of marketing, which determines exports and imports.
