Report on a International Luxury Brand

Report on a International Luxury BrandThe module addresses the concept of brand globalisation in the luxury sector. It covers the aspects of global marketing and evaluates the marketing strategies, which a brand chooses to employ in order to gain presence and form an identity in the international arena. In order to understand the global branding the students have to look into the brand concept from an international perspective. Please select an overseas fashion or luxury brand which is operating either in South America, Korea, China, Japan, India, UAE or Australia (But not the UK) This should be a brand which has a strong local representation within its own global territory but which may not perhaps be strongly represented on an international stage. Undertake a detailed analysis as to what makes it successful; what cultural, social or historical factors have made the brand what it is? How and why is it successful? Is the concept of luxury portrayed differently within this culture? If so, how? Devise a marketing campaign that for this brand, which would make enahance its global standing. This could be within the same or a different international territory, or it could build upon a social trend or political movement that you think is relevant now. Research using WGSN, The Business of Fashion, Mintel, Emerald and Verdict to identify a suitable brand and something new and exciting happening within your chosen product sector as an exciting starting point. It is estimated that candidates will make reference to at least ten sources of literature to demonstrate the breadth of their research.  Candidates should ensure, through discussions with their tutors, that their selected projects are manageable and appropriate for the time period and purpose of this task, In completion of this module candidates are required to: Carry out research to justify and define their projects.Consider the possible approaches to the project and justify the selected approach.Define the developmental project aims and quantifiable project objectives, with justification.Identify the resource and organisational issues associated with the projects. All research should be appended to this assessment. All theories, concepts, models and industry examples must be appropriately referenced using the Harvard System. GuidelinesGUIDANCE ON ASSESSMENT All materials must be properly referenced. Length required is advised above. Longer work will not be penalised. However it should be noted that a concise and professional style which is well focused and clear in the points being made will gain good credit. Originality, quality of argument and good structure are required. What I want to see is that you can take a body of theory, understand it, choose what you want from it, apply it in a reasonable fashion and hence evaluate it. Your submissions will be expected to demonstrate the following qualities:Answering the central focus of the assignment topics.The companies you choose can be from any luxury product or fashion sector, but you must provide some background and justification of your rationale. You will need to make assumptions where information is not available and this need to be clearly outlined.A critical appreciation of relevant literature and its use to support argument, substantiate model(s) and other aspects of the assignment.Taking ownership of the content, being prepared to debate and argue a personal position, evidences evaluative skills. A submission made up of extracts from published sources which is descriptive and just theoretical, is not acceptable. Your submission must have an interpretation and consideration of the challenges and issues of taking theory into practice (using cases and/or personal experience).Ability to analyse relevant theoretical concepts in a critical manner, evaluation of material, indication of gaps in the literature.Logical flow of ideas and treatment; imaginative approaches; appropriateselection of real world factors related to the model(s) or specific assignment topic.Evidence of additional personal research, and the ability to analyse material from a variety of appropriate relevant perspectives. A clear listing of references and/or bibliography.Presentation, structure, appropriateness of methodology, breaking into section headings/subheadings, tidiness.A strong conclusion.Please ensure that you reference material which you take from text books, published documents, internet etc… in the main body of your report, at the place you use it, as well as listing the publications in a bibliography. Also, try to evaluate and critique this material and the experience you get from applying and using it. Such personal critique gains high reward in postgraduate level work! Please note that just providing a summary of current published works on your chosen topic will not receive a high grade. Ensure that your writing style is one in which you take ownership of the content. Evidence personal evaluation – this can often be achieved by evaluating prior experience or a case study within the context of the theory.
