Abstract

The formulation of international marketing strategies is requiring more sophisticated management approaches due to the increasing importance of international business operations. The authors examine the relevance of the E. P. R. G. framework (ethnocentrism, polycentrism, regiocentrism, geocentrism) as a guideline for international marketing strategies.
