International Marketing of Products & Services
With increasing competition, the expansion of markets beyond national boundaries has become a fact of life for most manufacturing and many service industries. Identifying markets in foreign countries such as China and India with populations of over one billion in each and establishing appropriate marketing linkages is a valuable strength that RAM offers its clients. Both these countries are vast markets that need new technology, products and services that offer viable opportunities that out pace the competition at home. India for instance has a “middle class” population now exceeding 250 million, boasting both a technologically competent work force as well as a product–hungry consumer market place. China’s position as a global manufacturer is now undisputed. In addition, RAM has acted as purchasing consultant for Indian industry to arrange electronic equipment from USA suppliers for the Indian Defense Industry.
