Have you ever wondered what strategic shifts enable premium brands to leverage the unique market dynamics of Giffen goods to become luxury brands? 🤔 I'm delighted to announce that I have discovered the answers through my recent completion of the HEC Paris summer school program in Luxury Management. ✨   Guided by Anne MICHAUT, the course was an enriching experience that bridged my technical background with the intricacies and complexities of Luxury Management. I gained deep insights into managing luxury brands, their evolution driven by heritage and emotional value, and strategic retail approaches that are nowadays shaped by trends such as sustainability and digitalization.  A highlight was learning from industry experts like Franck A., who provided invaluable knowledge about Haute Couture and the economic aspects of the luxury market.   Beyond professional enrichment, the summer school was far more for me. Over these intense weeks, I had the opportunity to connect with talented international students, gain inspiration from our varied backgrounds, and develop wonderful friendships.   Merci beaucoup to Julia Pearn for the support and organization, which shaped my journey with so many memorable moments. Additionally, a special thanks to the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes for the support and trust in my academic journey, making this experience possible.   Reflecting on my time at HEC fills me with immense happiness, and I am thrilled to now be part of the HEC family. Looking ahead, I am both excited and eager to apply the knowledge and skills I have gained to my future endeavors. 🚀   #HECParis #SummerSchool #LuxuryManagement #LuxuryIndustry #BusinessSchool #ContinuousLearning

From the desk of our CEO Daniel André Langer: Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, where I have the pleasure and privilege to teach as the executive professor of luxury strategy, recognized me for being named Diversity in Luxury Leader 2024. At Pepperdine, I am one of the distinguished faculty teaching the Presidents and Key Executives Program (PKE), a one-of-its-kind executive MBA program that is limited to the best of the best in business, designed to take them to the next level. The recognition came from “consistently demonstrating the courage to address critical issues, challenge the status quo, and inspire others to join the pursuit of a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive luxury landscape.” At PKE and my other luxury programs at Pepperdine, I challenge my students to think differently, to never accept mediocrity and to create the extraordinary. Most businesses have significant untapped potential, and it’s the obligation of managers to break barriers, even our own internal ones, and lead the change. With all my clients and in my luxury trainings and master classes we focus on unlocking potential, disrupting industries and creating ultra-profitable, client-centric business models that create emotional connections, superior experiences, and empathy for clients. That’s what I call extreme value creation. #extremevaluecreation #daniellanger #luxury https://lnkd.in/gTDfAgyF
