[3] In simple words international marketing is the application of marketing principles to across national boundaries. However, there is a crossover between what is commonly expressed s international marketing and global marketing, which is a similar term.

The intersection is the result of the process of internationalization. Many American and European authors see international marketing as a simple extension of exporting, whereby themarketing mix 4P’s is simply adapted in some way to take into account differences in consumers and segments. It then follows that global marketing takes a more standardised approach to world markets and focuses upon sameness, in other words the similarities in consumers and segments.
