marketing Mix of an International Organization.
Select a Global Fortune 500 Company.
Pick a specific product that the company offers in at least three different countries.

a) Product – What are the basic product benefits, brand name, warranty, service, or innovative qualities?
b) Price – Currency exchange, any planned discounts during the year, method of payment accepted, or e-marketing (if applicable).
c) Promotion – Advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling, etc…
d) Place (distribution) – Market entry method, channels of distribution, and channel cooperation.
