市场学作业：全球市场营销

　　作为一个从事全球业务公司的营销顾问，你已经雇佣了一家英国公司为你去寻找海外市场的扩张机会。你的职责就是进行市场调研，并提交一份关于进入全球海外市场的战略分析报告。

　　As a global marketing consultant, you have been hired by a UK organisation that is seeking market expansion opportunities overseas. Your remit is to conduct market research and to submit a report that recommends a global market entry strategy into an overseas market.

　　你必须首先做出决定来选择一家合适的英国公司(我们建议你选择一个和你有相同背景的公司)，但是在选择的时候你最好征求一下导师的建议。

　　You must firstly make the decision as to your choice of UK organisation (we recommend that you choose a firm of which you have some background knowledge) but you must then ask your tutor for advice on this.

　　Next, read the report, Winning in Emerging - market Cities: A Guide to the World's Largest Growth Opportunity, by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) as this will give you some guidance on which markets to target.

　　为了完成这个报告，你必须先进行一定程度的市场调研，并确保您公司推出的产品或服务能够进入这个新兴市场。你的职责是向他们介绍，你为什么会选择这家公司来独家代理你们公司的产品和服务。

　　In order to pass this report, you must first conduct market research and ensure that your company has not yet launched a product or service into the emerging market. Your remit is to then recommend why and how your chosen organisation should market its products or services to this particular region or country.

　　You will also find it useful to read the following press release issued by the Boston Consulting Group in September 2010.
