15th edition
Philip R. Cateora, Mary C. Gilly, and John L. Graham
Introduction
• To understand a society’s actions and its points of
view, you need to appreciate:
– The influence of historical events
– The geographical uniqueness to which a culture
has had to adapt
• Culture can be defined as society's accepted basis
for responding to external and internal events
• To interpret a culture’s behavior and attitudes, a
marketer must have some idea of a country’s
history and geography

is cultural attitudes about the importance of large
families

Controlling
Population Growth
• Procreation is one of the most culturally sensitive
uncontrollable factors
• Perhaps the most important deterrent to
population control is cultural attitudes about the
importance of large families
• Family planning and all that it entails is by far
the most universal means governments use to
control birthrates, but some economists believe
that a decline in the fertility rate is a function of
economic prosperity and will come only with
economic development
Roy Philip
12
Rural/Urban Migration
• Result of a desire for greater access to:
– Sources of education
– Health care
– Improved job opportunities
Roy Philip
13
Population Decline and Aging
• Population growth in many countries has
dropped below the rate necessary to maintain
present levels
• A nation needs a fertility rate of about 2.1
children per woman
• Not one major country has sufficient internal
population growth to maintain itself
Roy Philip

Summary
• A prospective international marketer should be
reasonably familiar with the world, its climate,
and topographic differences
• Geographic hurdles must be recognized as having
a direct effect on marketing and the related
activities of communications and distribution
