The Road to luxury : the evolution, markets, and strategies of luxury brand management / Ashok Som, Christian Blanckaert
Livre
Edited by Wiley - 2015
The Road to Luxury explores the fascinating history of luxury goods and explains the evolution of the burgeoning luxury marketplace, to offer a clear understanding of the dynamics of the luxury world. Citing current data and statistics on market trends, Ashok Som and Christian Blanckaert offer insight into the systems and operations, retail, distribution and e-commerce, emerging markets and emerging brands, as well as the different management styles throughout the luxury industry. Filled with examples from household brands such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Bottega Veneta to name a few, The Road to Luxury considers the skills and craftsmanship required to produce exquisite goods both in terms of economies of scale and economies of scope. To meet the needs of the ever expanding luxury marketplace it is necessary to find the special skill-sets required in craftsmen, who also possess an implicit understanding of the brand DNA; designers who understand and create innovations around the brand DNA; sales staff who translate the story of the brand to the diverse and growing consumer pool across different cultures, nations and continents; and managers who can run the business not as a small and medium sized enterprise but as a global corporation [extrait de la jaquette]
