Abstract

The study examines the global product and marketing strategies and their development when globalising ICT companies. Two major globalisation paths are distinguished: Born Globals and Globalising Internationals. The paper describes the characteristics of these two approaches, outlines a framework for understanding the product, brand and channel strategies in the globalisation process. It further elaborates on two important dimensions, namely standardisation across countries and co-operation in value networks. The study shows how the product and marketing strategies should be standardised along the globalisation process. A novel finding relates to the importance of examining co-operation possibilities in both vertical and horizontal value networks.
