Abstract: | In a 1991 article by Wills, Samli, and Jacobs, a new approach to international marketing strategy development was presented.
Two micro constructs, involvement and learning theory, and two macro constructs, cultural context and the diffusion process,
were linked in an integrative matrix summarizing various tactics for promoting and distributing a VCR around the world, within
the bounds of a global marketing strategy. This comment sharpens the focus and extends the thrust of their work. It examines
their proposed research agenda, clarifies certain constructs, and suggests a reformulated approach to theory development.
It also proposes an approach to segmenting the world market for VCRs, incorporating four levels of felt involvement and two
rates of product learning. Finally, suggestions for future research are outlined.
