Each of these standardized measures allow for comparisons across countries. The use of each
depends on specific circumstances. Many reports now feature GNI rather than GDP, because it
includes the economic impact of firms that earn income from their global operations, unlike GDP,
which dramatically undercounts the impact of those activities on the economy of the firms home
markets. The human development index is interesting to students.

Global Marketing Mix: Global Distribution
Strategies
Principles of Marketing
MKT3010
Delivering products to local retailers can be incredibly difficult and frustrating. Infrastructure
issues often prevent traditional distribution methods and require creative adjustments. Global
firms must find distribution strategies that enable them to reach even really remote markets. For
instance, Avon sells and delivers cosmetics to customers using canoes. This example could also
prompt an ethical discussion on whether or not firms should be marketing hedonic products or
services to consumers with very little disposable income.

Some global channels are very long
and complex.
Consumer shop local small local
stores.
Suppliers must be creative in
delivering to these outlets.
