This document discusses developing consumer products for international markets. It identifies three main types of products: global products with standardization across markets, adapted products that are culturally unique to each market, and standardized products produced for different kinds of markets. Successful brands are a company's most valuable resource due to the benefits of advertising, goodwill, and quality evaluations. When developing products for international markets, companies must consider cultural influences, country of origin effects, and how innovative the new product will be perceived.
