Looking at international marketing, the market environment is not familiar to a company compared to the domestic marketing where there is high familiarity of marketing. In the international market there may be a requirement for product adaptation and the price of this product will be affected by the foreign currency (Kotler,2009). However, the domestic markets are different. There is no much adaptation required in the domestic market unless the company is targeting a different market segment. The pricing in these r is also relatively easy since it is not affected by foreign currency. Unlike domestic markets, distributions in the international markets are usually difficult because of international dimensions (Kotler,2009). Nike has managed to venture and thrive in these international markets through licensing and franchising of its brand. The Cole Haan, Converse, Inc., Hurley International, LLC and Umbro International Limited are wholly owned subsidiaries of NIKE, Inc.
