The objective of this case study was to examine the success of I Nuovi Cosmetics Singapore Pte Ltd (INC). INC utilized a very international approach in its operations, from the portrayal of I Nuovi as an international brand to the outsourcing of production overseas. To better understand its international operations, the USA and Japan markets are discussed in greater detail. Marketing strategy adaptations have been made in each country due to economic, cultural and legislation differences.
