Transaction between two organizations
Business-to Business Marketing
Essential characteristics of international marketing
First, what is to be exchanged is not restricted to tangible products (goods) but may
include concepts and services as well.
Second, the definition removes the implication that international marketing applies
only to market or business transactions.

Essential characteristics of international marketing
Third, the definition recognizes that it is improper for a firm to create a product
first and then look for a place to sell it
Fourth, the definition acknowledges that
“place” (distribution) is only part of the
marketing mix and that the distance between
markets makes it neither more nor
less important than the other parts of the mix.
Finally, the “multinational process” implies that the international marketing
process is not a mere repetition of using identical strategies abroad.

Multinationality and market performance
The positive impacts originate in MNCs’ ability to leverage scale economies, access new technologies, and arbitrage factor cost differentials across multiple locations.
