1. Key Information Module: International Marketing Module Leader: Samuel Asante-Nnuro London School of Marekting LS Education Group Email: [email protected] Module Tutors: Ishani Weerasinghe (Online Delivery) Gayan Jayasinghe (Online Delivery) Every module has a Module Definition Form (MDF) which is the officially validated record of the module. You can access the MDF for this module in three ways via: • the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) • the My.Anglia Module Catalogue at www.anglia.ac.uk/modulecatalogue • Anglia Ruskin’s module search engine facility at www.anglia.ac.uk/modules All modules delivered by Anglia Ruskin University at its main campuses in the UK and at Associate Colleges throughout the UK and overseas are governed by the Academic Regulations. You can view these at www.anglia.ac.uk/academicregs. A printed extract of the Academic Regulations, known as the Assessment Regulations, is available for every student from LS London office. In the unlikely event of any discrepancy between the Academic Regulations and any other publication, including this module guide, the Academic Regulations, as the definitive document, take precedence over all other publications and will be applied in all cases.

2. Introduction to the Module This module is designed to provide students with an understanding of marketing from an international perspective. The increased access to new markets across the world means that both opportunities and threats face marketers in the global context. Overcoming cultural issues remains a key challenge, along with the ability to communicate effectively to perhaps a very different target audience. Given the huge number of multi-national firms now operating in China e.g. Siemens, Ikea, McDonalds' and BP, many employers now expect international marketers to have knowledge of more than one cultural group. The lectures will therefore enable students to analyse marketing issues in an international context by providing a range of theoretical frameworks and practical examples. The seminars will largely focus on case examples, allowing students to apply relevant theories. One of the main focuses for the design of this module has been the further development of relevant employability and professional skills. A new assessment has been incorporated into this 2013/14 module guide (Presentation 30%).

3. Intended Learning Outcomes

Anglia Ruskin modules are taught on the basis of intended learning outcomes and that, on successful completion of the module, students will be expected to be able to demonstrate they have met those outcomes.

4.1 Attendance Requirements Attending all your classes is very important and one of the best ways to help you succeed in this module. Research has found a clear correlation between student attendance and overall performance. In accordance with the Student Charter, you are expected to arrive on time and take an active part in all your timetabled classes. If you are unable to attend a class for a valid reason (e.g. illness), please contact Mrs. Olga Kutsenko - [email protected] London School of Marketing will closely monitor the attendance of all students and will contact you if you have been absent without notice for two weeks. Continued absence can result in various consequences including the termination of your registration as you will be considered to have withdrawn from your studies. International students who are non-EEA nationals and in possession of entry clearance/leave to remain as a student (student visa) are required to be in regular attendance at London School of Marketing. Failure to do so is considered to be a breach of national immigration regulations. London School of Marketing, like all British Universities, is statutorily obliged to inform the UK Border Agency of the Home Office of significant unauthorised absences by any student visa holders.

(5 marks)

5.1 Submitting your work All student work which contributes to the eventual outcome of the module (i.e. if it determines whether you will pass or fail the module and counts towards the mark you achieve for the module) is submitted according to your institutions guidelines. Academic staff CANNOT accept work directly from you. Any late work will NOT be accepted and a mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment task in question. You are requested to keep a copy of your work.

5.2 Marking Rubric and Feedback The rubric, shown in Section 7.1 Specific Marking Criteria, will be used to mark your work. Feedback You are entitled to written feedback on your performance for all your assessed work. For all assessment tasks which are not examinations, this is provided through the completion of the assignment coversheet on which your mark and feedback will relate to the achievement of the module’s intended learning outcomes and the assessment criteria you were given for the task when it was first issued.

Examination scripts are retained by London School of Marketing and are not returned to students. However, you are entitled to feedback on your performance in an examination and may request a meeting with the Module Leader or Tutor to see your examination script and to discuss your performance. London School of Marketing is committed to providing you with feedback on all assessed work within 20 working days

of the submission deadline or the date of an examination. This is extended to 30 days for feedback for a Major Project module (please note that working days excludes those days when LS is officially closed; e.g. between Christmas and New Year). Personal tutors will offer to read feedback from several modules and help you to address any common themes that may be emerging.

On occasion, you will receive feedback and marks for work that you completed in the earlier stages of the module. We provide you with this feedback as part of the learning experience and to help you prepare for other assessment tasks that you have still to complete. It is important to note that, in these cases, the marks for these pieces of work are unconfirmed. This means that, potentially, marks can change, in either direction!

5.3 Re-Assessment (re-sit) If you are unsuccessful with the 1st attempt of your assessment, you must complete a re-assessment. As indicated in Section 6.2.7. of the Senate Code of Practice, this is a NEW assessment, you CANNOT re-work the assessment explained in this section. The re-assessment information is given in Appendix 1.

6. How is My Work Marked? After you have submitted your work or you have completed an examination, Anglia Ruskin undertakes a series of activities to assure that our marking processes are comparable with those employed at other universities in the UK and that your work has been marked fairly, honestly and consistently. These include: • Anonymous marking – your name is not attached to your work so, at the point of marking, the

lecturer does not know whose work he/she is considering. When you undertake an assessment task where your identity is known (e.g. a presentation or Major Project), it is marked by more than one lecturer (known as double marking)

• Internal moderation – a sample of all work for each assessment task in each module is moderated

by other Anglia Ruskin staff to check the standards and consistency of the marking • External moderation – a sample of student work for all modules is moderated by external

examiners – experienced academic staff from other universities (and sometimes practitioners who represent relevant professions) - who scrutinise your work and provide Anglia Ruskin academic staff with feedback, advice and assurance that the marking of your work is comparable to that in other UK universities. Many of Anglia Ruskin’s staff act as external examiners at other universities.

• Departmental Assessment Panel (DAP) – performance by all students on all modules is discussed

and approved at the appropriate DAPs which are attended by all relevant Module Leaders and external examiners. Anglia Ruskin has over 25 DAPs to cover all the different subjects we teach.

This module falls within the remit of the Marketing Strategy and Enterprise DAP.

The following external examiners are appointed to this DAP and will oversee the assessment of this and other modules within the DAP’s remit:

Flowchart of Anglia Ruskin’s Marking Processes

1 All work is marked anonymously or double marked where identity of the student is known (e.g.in a presentation) 2 The internal (and external) moderation process compares work from all locations where the module is delivered

(e.g.Cambridge, Chelmsford, Peterborough, Malaysia, India, Trinidad etc.) 3 The sample for the internal moderation process comprises a minimum of eight pieces of work or 10% (whichever

is the greater) for each marker and covers the full range of marks 4 Only modules at levels 5, 6 and 7 are subject to external moderation (unless required for separate reasons). The

sample for the external moderation process comprises a minimum of eight pieces of work or 10% (whichever is the greater) for the entire module and covers the full range of marks

5 DAP: Departmental Assessment Panel – Anglia Ruskin has over 25 different DAPs to reflect our subject coverage

7.2 University Generic Assessment Criteria ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY GENERIC ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND MARKING STANDARDS

LEVEL 6 Level 6 is characterised by an expectation of students’ increasing autonomy in relation to their study and developing skill sets. Students are expected to demonstrate problem solving skills, both theoretical and practical. This is supported by an understanding of appropriate theory; creativity of expression and thought based in individual judgement; and the ability to seek out, invoke, analyse and evaluate competing theories or methods of working in a critically constructive and open manner. Output is articulate, coherent and skilled in the appropriate medium, with some students producing original or innovative work in their specialism.

8. Assessment Offences As an academic community, we recognise that the principles of truth, honesty and mutual respect are central to the pursuit of knowledge. Behaviour that undermines those principles weakens the community, both individually and collectively, and diminishes our values. We are committed to ensuring that every student and member of staff is made aware of the responsibilities s/he bears in maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and how those standards are protected. You are reminded that any work that you submit must be your own. When you are preparing your work for submission, it is important that you understand the various academic conventions that you are expected to follow in order to make sure that you do not leave yourself open to accusations of plagiarism (e.g. the correct use of referencing, citations, footnotes etc.) and that your work maintains its academic integrity.

Definitions of Assessment Offences

Plagiarism Plagiarism is theft and occurs when you present someone else’s work, words, images, ideas, opinions or discoveries, whether published or not, as your own. It is also when you take the artwork, images or computer-generated work of others, without properly acknowledging where this is from or you do this without their permission. You can commit plagiarism in examinations, but it is most likely to happen in coursework, assignments, portfolios, essays, dissertations and so on. Examples of plagiarism include: • directly copying from written work, physical work, performances, recorded work or images, without

saying where this is from; • using information from the internet or electronic media (such as DVDs and CDs) which belongs to

someone else, and presenting it as your own; • rewording someone else’s work, without referencing them; and • handing in something for assessment which has been produced by another student or person. It is important that you do not plagiarise – intentionally or unintentionally – because the work of others and their ideas are their own. There are benefits to producing original ideas in terms of awards, prizes, qualifications, reputation and so on. To use someone else’s work, words, images, ideas or discoveries is a form of theft. Collusion Collusion is similar to plagiarism as it is an attempt to present another’s work as your own. In plagiarism the original owner of the work is not aware you are using it, in collusion two or more people may be involved in trying to produce one piece of work to benefit one individual, or plagiarising another person’s work. Examples of collusion include: • agreeing with others to cheat; • getting someone else to produce part or all of your work; • copying the work of another person (with their permission); • submitting work from essay banks;

Page 24: files.transtutors.com … · International Marketing.............................................................................................. 1 1. Key Information

Module Guide

Page 23

• paying someone to produce work for you; and • allowing another student to copy your own work. Many parts of university life need students to work together. Working as a team, as directed by your tutor, and producing group work is not collusion. Collusion only happens if you produce joint work to benefit of one or more person and try to deceive another (for example the assessor). Cheating Cheating is when someone aims to get unfair advantage over others. Examples of cheating include: • taking unauthorised material into the examination room; • inventing results (including experiments, research, interviews and observations); • handing your own previously graded work back in; • getting an examination paper before it is released; • behaving in a way that means other students perform poorly; • pretending to be another student; and • trying to bribe members of staff or examiners.

Help to Avoid Assessment Offences

Most of our students are honest and want to avoid committing assessment offences. We have a variety of resources, advice and guidance available to help make sure you can develop good academic skills. We will make sure that we make available consistent statements about what we expect. You will be able to do tutorials on being honest in your work from the library and other support services and faculties, and you will be able to test your written work for plagiarism using ‘Turnitin®UK’ (a software package that detects plagiarism). You can get advice on how to use honestly the work of others in your own work from the library website (www.libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/referencing.htm) and your lecturer and personal tutor. You will be able to use ‘Turnitin®UK’, a special software package which is used to detect plagiarism. Turnitin®UK will produce a report which clearly shows if passages in your work have been taken from somewhere else. You may talk about this with your personal tutor to see where you may need to improve your academic practice. We will not see these formative Turnitin®UK reports as assessment offences. All students in Cambridge and Chelmsford are also expected to submit their final work through Turnitin®UK as outlined above. If you are not sure whether the way you are working meets our requirements, you should talk to your personal tutor, module tutor or other member of academic staff. They will be able to help you and tell you about other resources which will help you develop your academic skills.

Procedures for assessment offences

An assessment offence is the general term used to define cases where a student has tried to get unfair academic advantage in an assessment for himself or herself or another student. We will fully investigate all cases of suspected assessment offences. If we prove that you have committed an assessment offence, an appropriate penalty will be imposed which, for the most serious offences, includes expulsion from Anglia Ruskin. For full details of our assessment offences policy and procedures, see Section 10 of the Academic Regulations at: www.anglia.ac.uk/academicregs.

You can access the MDF for this module in three ways via: • the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) • the My.Anglia Module Catalogue at www.anglia.ac.uk/modulecatalogue • Anglia Ruskin’s module search engine facility at www.anglia.ac.uk/modules All modules delivered by Anglia Ruskin University at its main campuses in the UK and at Associate Colleges throughout the UK and overseas are governed by the Academic Regulations. You can view these at www.anglia.ac.uk/academicregs. A printed extract of the Academic Regulations, known as the Assessment Regulations, is available for every student from LS London office. In the unlikely event of any discrepancy between the Academic Regulations and any other publication, including this module guide, the Academic Regulations, as the definitive document, take precedence over all other publications and will be applied in all cases.

2. Introduction to the Module This module is designed to provide students with an understanding of marketing from an international perspective. The increased access to new markets across the world means that both opportunities and threats face marketers in the global context. Overcoming cultural issues remains a key challenge, along with the ability to communicate effectively to perhaps a very different target audience. Given the huge number of multi-national firms now operating in China e.g. Siemens, Ikea, McDonalds' and BP, many employers now expect international marketers to have knowledge of more than one cultural group. The lectures will therefore enable students to analyse marketing issues in an international context by providing a range of theoretical frameworks and practical examples. The seminars will largely focus on case examples, allowing students to apply relevant theories. One of the main focuses for the design of this module has been the further development of relevant employability and professional skills. A new assessment has been incorporated into this 2013/14 module guide (Presentation 30%).

3. Intended Learning Outcomes

4.1 Attendance Requirements Attending all your classes is very important and one of the best ways to help you succeed in this module. Research has found a clear correlation between student attendance and overall performance. In accordance with the Student Charter, you are expected to arrive on time and take an active part in all your timetabled classes. If you are unable to attend a class for a valid reason (e.g. illness), please contact Mrs. Olga Kutsenko - [email protected] London School of Marketing will closely monitor the attendance of all students and will contact you if you have been absent without notice for two weeks. Continued absence can result in various consequences including the termination of your registration as you will be considered to have withdrawn from your studies. International students who are non-EEA nationals and in possession of entry clearance/leave to remain as a student (student visa) are required to be in regular attendance at London School of Marketing. Failure to do so is considered to be a breach of national immigration regulations. London School of Marketing, like all British Universities, is statutorily obliged to inform the UK Border Agency of the Home Office of significant unauthorised absences by any student visa holders.

(5 marks)

5.1 Submitting your work All student work which contributes to the eventual outcome of the module (i.e. if it determines whether you will pass or fail the module and counts towards the mark you achieve for the module) is submitted according to your institutions guidelines. Academic staff CANNOT accept work directly from you. Any late work will NOT be accepted and a mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment task in question. You are requested to keep a copy of your work.

5.2 Marking Rubric and Feedback The rubric, shown in Section 7.1 Specific Marking Criteria, will be used to mark your work. Feedback You are entitled to written feedback on your performance for all your assessed work. For all assessment tasks which are not examinations, this is provided provided through the completion of the assignment coversheet on which your mark and feedback will relate to the achievement of the module’s intended learning outcomes and the assessment criteria you were given for the task when it was first issued.

Examination scripts are retained by London School of Marketing and are not returned to students. However, you are entitled to feedback on your performance in an examination and may request a meeting with the Module Leader or Tutor to see your examination script and to discuss your performance. London School of Marketing is committed to providing you with feedback on all assessed work within 20 working days

of the submission deadline or the date of an examination. This is extended to 30 days for feedback for a Major Project module (please note that working days excludes those days when LS is officially closed; e.g. between Christmas and New Year). Personal tutors will offer to read feedback from several modules and help you to address any common themes that may be emerging.

On occasion, you will receive feedback and marks for work that you completed in the earlier stages of the module. We provide you with this feedback as part of the learning experience and to help you prepare for other assessment tasks that you have still to complete. It is important to note that, in these cases, the marks for these pieces of work are unconfirmed. This means that, potentially, marks can change, in either direction!

5.3 Re-Assessment (re-sit) If you are unsuccessful with the 1st attempt of your assessment, you must complete a re-assessment. As indicated in Section 6.2.7. of the Senate Code of Practice, this is a NEW assessment, you CANNOT re-work the assessment explained in this section. The re-assessment information is given in Appendix 1.

6. How is My Work Marked? After you have submitted your work or you have completed an examination, Anglia Ruskin undertakes a series of activities to assure that our marking processes are comparable with those employed at other universities in the UK and that your work has been marked fairly, honestly and consistently. These include: • Anonymous marking – your name is not attached to your work so, at the point of marking, the

lecturer does not know whose work he/she is considering. When you undertake an assessment task where your identity is known (e.g. a presentation or Major Project), it is marked by more than one lecturer (known as double marking)

• Internal moderation – a sample of all work for each assessment task in each module is moderated

by other Anglia Ruskin staff to check the standards and consistency of the marking • External moderation – a sample of student work for all modules is moderated by external

examiners – experienced academic staff from other universities (and sometimes practitioners who represent relevant professions) - who scrutinise your work and provide Anglia Ruskin academic staff with feedback, advice and assurance that the marking of your work is comparable to that in other UK universities. Many of Anglia Ruskin’s staff act as external examiners at other universities.

• Departmental Assessment Panel (DAP) – performance by all students on all modules is discussed

and approved at the appropriate DAPs which are attended by all relevant Module Leaders and external examiners. Anglia Ruskin has over 25 DAPs to cover all the different subjects we teach.

This module falls within the remit of the Marketing Strategy and Enterprise DAP.

The following external examiners are appointed to this DAP and will oversee the assessment of this and other modules within the DAP’s remit:

Flowchart of Anglia Ruskin’s Marking Processes

1 All work is marked anonymously or double marked where identity of the student is known (e.g.in a presentation) 2 The internal (and external) moderation process compares work from all locations where the module is delivered

(e.g.Cambridge, Chelmsford, Peterborough, Malaysia, India, Trinidad etc.) 3 The sample for the internal moderation process comprises a minimum of eight pieces of work or 10% (whichever

is the greater) for each marker and covers the full range of marks 4 Only modules at levels 5, 6 and 7 are subject to external moderation (unless required for separate reasons). The

sample for the external moderation process comprises a minimum of eight pieces of work or 10% (whichever is the greater) for the entire module and covers the full range of marks

7.2 University Generic Assessment Criteria ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY GENERIC ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND MARKING STANDARDS

LEVEL 6 Level 6 is characterised by an expectation of students’ increasing autonomy in relation to their study and developing skill sets. Students are expected to demonstrate problem solving skills, both theoretical and practical. This is supported by an understanding of appropriate theory; creativity of expression and thought based in individual judgement; and the ability to seek out, invoke, analyse and evaluate competing theories or methods of working in a critically constructive and open manner. Output is articulate, coherent and skilled in the appropriate medium, with some students producing original or innovative work in their specialism.

8. Assessment Offences As an academic community, we recognise that the principles of truth, honesty and mutual respect are central to the pursuit of knowledge. Behaviour that undermines those principles weakens the community, both individually and collectively, and diminishes our values. We are committed to ensuring that every student and member of staff is made aware of the responsibilities s/he bears in maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and how those standards are protected. You are reminded that any work that you submit must be your own. When you are preparing your work for submission, it is important that you understand the various academic conventions that you are expected to follow in order to make sure that you do not leave yourself open to accusations of plagiarism (e.g. the correct use of referencing, citations, footnotes etc.) and that your work maintains its academic integrity.

Definitions of Assessment Offences

Plagiarism Plagiarism is theft and occurs when you present someone else’s work, words, images, ideas, opinions or discoveries, whether published or not, as your own. It is also when you take the artwork, images or computer-generated work of others, without properly acknowledging where this is from or you do this without their permission. You can commit plagiarism in examinations, but it is most likely to happen in coursework, assignments, portfolios, essays, dissertations and so on. Examples of plagiarism include: • directly copying from written work, physical work, performances, recorded work or images, without

saying where this is from; • using information from the internet or electronic media (such as DVDs and CDs) which belongs to

someone else, and presenting it as your own; • rewording someone else’s work, without referencing them; and • handing in something for assessment which has been produced by another student or person. It is important that you do not plagiarise – intentionally or unintentionally – because the work of others and their ideas are their own. There are benefits to producing original ideas in terms of awards, prizes, qualifications, reputation and so on. To use someone else’s work, words, images, ideas or discoveries is a form of theft. Collusion Collusion is similar to plagiarism as it is an attempt to present another’s work as your own. In plagiarism the original owner of the work is not aware you are using it, in collusion two or more people may be involved in trying to produce one piece of work to benefit one individual, or plagiarising another person’s work. Examples of collusion include: • agreeing with others to cheat; • getting someone else to produce part or all of your work; • copying the work of another person (with their permission); • submitting work from essay banks;

Module Guide

Page 23

• paying someone to produce work for you; and • allowing another student to copy your own work. Many parts of university life need students to work together. Working as a team, as directed by your tutor, and producing group work is not collusion. Collusion only happens if you produce joint work to benefit of one or more person and try to deceive another (for example the assessor). Cheating Cheating is when someone aims to get unfair advantage over others. Examples of cheating include: • taking unauthorised material into the examination room; • inventing results (including experiments, research, interviews and observations); • handing your own previously graded work back in; • getting an examination paper before it is released; • behaving in a way that means other students perform poorly; • pretending to be another student; and • trying to bribe members of staff or examiners.

Help to Avoid Assessment Offences

Most of our students are honest and want to avoid committing assessment offences. We have a variety of resources, advice and guidance available to help make sure you can develop good academic skills. We will make sure that we make available consistent statements about what we expect. You will be able to do tutorials on being honest in your work from the library and other support services and faculties, and you will be able to test your written work for plagiarism using ‘Turnitin®UK’ (a software package that detects plagiarism). You can get advice on how to use honestly the work of others in your own work from the library website (www.libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/referencing.htm) and your lecturer and personal tutor. You will be able to use ‘Turnitin®UK’, a special software package which is used to detect plagiarism. Turnitin®UK will produce a report which clearly shows if passages in your work have been taken from somewhere else. You may talk about this with your personal tutor to see where you may need to improve your academic practice. We will not see these formative Turnitin®UK reports as assessment offences. All students in Cambridge and Chelmsford are also expected to submit their final work through Turnitin®UK as outlined above. If you are not sure whether the way you are working meets our requirements, you should talk to your personal tutor, module tutor or other member of academic staff. They will be able to help you and tell you about other resources which will help you develop your academic skills.

Procedures for assessment offences

An assessment offence is the general term used to define cases where a student has tried to get unfair academic advantage in an assessment for himself or herself or another student. We will fully investigate all cases of suspected assessment offences. If we prove that you have committed an assessment offence, an appropriate penalty will be imposed which, for the most serious offences, includes expulsion from Anglia Ruskin. For full details of our assessment offences policy and procedures, see Section 10 of the Academic Regulations at: www.anglia.ac.uk/academicregs.

LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT INFORMATION6a. Module DescriptionThis module is designed to provide students with an understanding of marketing from aninternational perspective. The increased access to new markets across the world means thatboth opportunities and threats face marketers in the global context. Overcoming cultural issuesremains a key challenge, along with the ability to communicate effectively to perhaps a verydifferent target audience. Although the module examines a range of case examples andinternational markets, special attention is given to the Chinese market. Rapid economic growth,hosting of the 2008 Olympic games, government support and WTO accession means China isan attractive market to many potential investors. However, it still remains a largely unknownmarket. Given the huge number of multi-national firms now operating in China e.g. Siemens,Ikea, McDonalds' and BP, many employers now expect international marketers to haveknowledge outside Europe. The lectures will therefore enable students to analyse marketingissues in an international context by providing a range of theoretical frameworks and practicalexamples. The seminars will largely focus on case examples, allowing students to apply relevanttheories.One of the main focuses for the design of this module has been the further development ofrelevant employability and professional skills. Such skills are implicit in the learning outcomes.Multiculturalism has been considered during the design of this module and will be consideredwhen the assessment brief is written.
