Summary of Jean-Noël Kapferer & Vincent Bastien's The Luxury Strategy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 If you want to market luxury, you have to understand what luxury is. Aristotle believed that the natural aim of human life is to know. The word ‘know’ in Greek has a double meaning: άνάγκη means something like ‘to obtain’ and also ‘pleasure’; the object of our knowledge is therefore the good we desire, which we obtain by understanding it. In other words, we need knowledge to be able to choose wisely. This is why knowledge is so important in aristocratic culture: it is the basis of taste, which is therefore born from a certain type of knowledge. Indeed, for the ancients, the basis of t...

New terms qualifying luxury regularly appear such as 'premium', 'ultra-premium' and 'hyperluxe'.

Luxury is as old as humanity and it is only by a thorough understanding of the genuine concept, that it is possible to define a rigorous set of rules for the effective management of luxury brands and products.

Presenting a vision of the luxury sector and its management, this edited book describes “the new luxury” through a comprehensive view of the value chain, from concept to market. The authors argue that the main characteristics of “luxury” are linked to specific resources and competencies found throughout the value chain and that value is a result of the interaction between the brand and stakeholders, and more precisely with their clients. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, New Luxury Management encompasses both strategic and functional aspects of luxury management, providing innovative solutions to the successful creation and management of value across the organization, from leadership, human resources, financial management, marketing and economic perspectives.

Rethinking Luxury Fashion

Using the field of material culture as its methodological departure point, this Palgrave Pivot explains the strategic advantages that brands can set in place when their executives are fully in command of how to move from strategy to tactics. Specifically, it studies the brands, their products and signature experiences as well as their relationship with the consumer in an attempt to define the greater powers that have pushed fashion labels in and out of fashion. It focuses on case analysis of specific luxury fashion brands and attempts to link those to the greater context of material culture while also elaborating on theoretical discussions. Bridging theory and practice, this book explores the relationship between creative strategy and cultural intelligence.

The Status Revolution

"How did rescue dogs become status symbols? Why are luxury brands losing their cachet? What's made F. Scott Fitzgerald's most famous observations obsolete? The answers are part of a new revolution that's radically reorganizing the way we view ourselves and others. Status was once easy to identify-fast cars, fancy shoes, sprawling estates, elite brands. But in place of Louboutins and Lamborghinis, the relevance of the rich, famous, and gauche is waning and a riveting revolution is underfoot. Why do dog owners boast about their rescues, but quietly apologize for their purebreds? Why do people brag about their grinding workweeks? Why are so many billionaires anxious to give (some of) their mone...
