Abstract

This 1993 update of previous 1973 and 1983 surveys of US marketingpolicies in the now renamed and reshaped Economic Union reveals that theobstacles to standardization remain high, and that it has broadly, ifnot uniformly, decreased since 1983 – opposite to the trendbetween 1973 and 1983. Moreover, more marketing decisions by US firmsare now made at the European level. Theoretical and managerialimplications are drawn from these findings.
