countered by counterattacks abroad.Customers may be expanding globally and
require international servicing.Foreign markets may offer growth
opportunities when domestic market is stagnant.

Deciding on the Global Marketing Program
• Global pricing strategies:Companies face many considerations in
setting their international prices.• Standard pricing methods ignore cost
differentials and local market conditions.International prices tend to be higher

versions of products to sell abroad.

problematic:• Charging too much results in higher tariff duties and
lower income taxes.• Charging too little can result in charges of dumping if
price is less than the product costs or less than is being charged in the home market.
The Internet makes price differences more obvious and has forced more standardized pricing.
