Journal of International Marketing Strategy
(JIMS)
CALL FOR PAPERS

For inaugural issue

Mission: The core mission of this International Marketing Strategy Journal is to enhance, as well as and provide a channel to facilitate exchange of scholarly information between academics of International Marketing and businesses, government, policy makers, and other concerned educators. Further the objective is to encourage and foster research activities and cooperate and collaborate with government, businesses and academics to advance the cause of International Marketing as a discipline.

The Purpose: The recent global economic crisis that spread throughout the world has posed some serious challenges to all and especially to academicians and practitioners in the area of International Marketing. The benefit of globalization is now being questioned daily from all sectors. Many are advocating and taking actions for protectionism. However, we also know that, our world of today is also very much interconnected through a complex web of product, capital, labor, and information. We also know that there is no way of going back to the old days of protectionism and undo the progress that have been already made. At this time there are emerging economies and developing regions in the world that are shaping and influencing our world economy in a manner that is unprecedented. The question remains; are we in the marketing academia willing to tackle this new problem and offer and assist the businesses, government policy makers, and mangers with new marketing strategies to not only deal with the current problem but to move ahead to more prosperity and for progress for all? The Journal of International Marketing Strategy will give the channel to provide some of these answers.

The topics for this special issue will focus on areas such as when to reformulate international marketing strategy in view of the fast changing global markets, analysis of various international corporate marketing strategies and measuring their strengths and weaknesses, determination of what international marketing strategy can really accomplish in global markets, developing new emphasis on global marketing strategy, and other similar but not limited to these topics.
