Foreign Market Entry Podcast

Foreign Market Entry Podcast
As you are likely aware, your internship brand doesn\’t just do business in the U.S. So, in this interactivity, were going to research their past entry into a foreign market. But rather than writing about it, were going to talk about it by creating a short podcast for TOMS SHOES!

oWhat specific challenges did entering this market present? (e.g., cultural norms, language barriers, local competition, government regulations, economic conditions, etc.). Identify at least three.
oWhat changes were made to the marketing formula in entering this market? What other changes were needed? Cite at least three examples, linking each one to a marketing \”p.\” You can repeat \”Ps\” more than once.
oHow successful was the entry into this market? Is the brand still in the market?

4.Identify and create proper APA citations for 3+ different sources.
oTry to explore different types of sources (periodicals, videos, annual report, etc.). Tap the Forbes archive and other scholarly resources as needed.
oAs you will be creating a podcast, in-line citations are not required, but you will need to document your sources.

5.Script (or at least outline) for your podcast.
oBe sure to introduce yourself and identify your mentor marketer and the relevant market before answering the questions above.
