We expect 50 percent of China’s domestic luxury consumption will be generated online by 2020. • Import duties reductions combined with brands’ recent moves to realign prices between overseas and China will boost China domestic full-price e-commerce, and challenge overseas websites. • From reviewing social media content, we noticed the emergence of retailer generated content alongside key opinion leaders’ and user-generated content. Brands need to adapt and publish more relevant and consumer-centric digital content or risk seeing their brand image diluted. • Although they remain value-driven, Chinese consumers – especially younger generations – are less price obsessed. This opens new opportunities for full price e-commerce for premium and luxury brands.

  • The Effect of Liability of Foreignness on Firm's Internationalization Process
    The Effect of Liability of Foreignness on Firm’s Internationalization Process: A Study of Chinese Firms by Quentin Tigé Master of Science in Administration International Business A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for a Master of Science in Administration June, 2019 © Quentin Tigé, 2019 Résumé Jusqu’à présent, en ce qui concerne la littérature portant sur les affaires internationales, le centre de l’attention a toujours été porté sur l’expansion internationale des compagnies provenant de pays développés. Cependant, le 21e siècle a entrainé de sérieux changements en ce qui a trait à l’économie globale. Un nombre grandissant de compagnies provenant de marchés émergents rivalisent maintenant dans les marchés occidentaux. Dans ce contexte, il est intéressant d’étudier la réalité et les défis qu’ont à relever les multinationales provenant de marchés émergents. De plus, avec l’émergence de la Chine comme superpuissance économique, une multitude de firmes chinoises rivalisent à présent sur le marché global. Ceci dit, dans la conjoncture actuelle caractérisée par la guerre commerciale entre les États-Unis et la Chine, ainsi que par les conflits entourant la course vers les réseaux 5G, les firmes chinoises subissent des défis additionnels lorsqu’elles opèrent en Occident. Cette recherche vise à répondre à la question suivante : Comment le processus d’internationalisation des firmes chinoises est-il affecté par leur nationalité? Le but est non seulement d’identifier les défis rencontrés par les firmes chinoises en Occident, mais également d’observer le niveau de succès des différentes stratégies employées par celles-ci, et d’identifier les facteurs qui ont un effet de réduction ou d’aggravation des effets des différents défis rencontrés.

    I Entrepreneurship in China: Small Batch Production of Consumer Goods ANDREA EGBRINGHOFF Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2016 I Entrepreneurship in China: Small Batch Production of Consumer Goods Andrea Egbringhoff Master of Science Thesis INDEK 2016:90 KTH Industrial Engineering and Management Industrial Management SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis INDEK 2016:90 Entrepreneurship in China: Small Batch Production of Consumer Goods Andrea Egbringhoff Approved Examiner Supervisor 2016-06-09 Terrence Brown Gregg Vanourek Commissioner Contact person Marie-Claire Maxwell n.a Abstract: The big country in the Far East appeared in the past as if only big corporates could do business there. This point of view changed immensely over the past 10 years. Nowadays, numerous co-working spaces, maker spaces and incubators present a fertile ground for young ventures. The situation around the Chinese startup scene changed dramatically. With the current government’s Five-Year-Plan, it becomes obvious that the political change is in favor of those young individuals who bring jobs and new perspectives for the country. Obviously, the target is not to promote western startups to settle in China primarily but to give Chinese startups the inspiration through the foreign spirit. So the research question goes as follows: What aspects of a manufacturing project will influence the success of a foreign entrepreneur in China? The methodology for this study is widely based on literature review and semi- structured interviews with entrepreneurs, consultancy agencies and non- governmental organizations. Whereas the focus lays on foreign startups whose goal is to set up manufacturing of a consumer product in China.

  • Callection-Press-Information.Pdf
    Following the recent announcement by OnePlus of its collaboration with acclaimed French fashion designer, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, today marks the launch of "Callection", a limited-edition design of the company's flagship phone, the OnePlus 5 JCC+, along with an exclusive line of accessories. As a fashion pioneer, Castelbajac has been redefining the frontiers of art and fashion since the 1980s, when he first asked artists to paint his dresses. The exclusive "Callection", made up of holsters, bags, caps, t-shirts, and a limited- edition OnePlus 5 design, is reflective of Castelbajac’s signature, chromatic style. “We're always looking to try new things with partners who embody the Never Settle spirit," said OnePlus co-founder and Head of Global, Carl Pei. "It's been great collaborating with an icon like Jean-Charles Castelbajac, who is continuously bringing game-changing ideas to the fashion industry." Known among his peers as the 'King of Unconventional’, Castelbajac challenges the conventions of design, just as OnePlus challenges the conventions of the smartphone industry. The unique and contemporary collection is the product of two like-minded disruptors working together. "I always like looking towards the future," said Castelbajac. "To change the world, you always need to be creative and work with people who are ahead of their time." The line will be available for purchase at two pop-up events and online at OnePlus.net. To kick off the "Callection", OnePlus has teamed up with iconic fashion boutique, colette to host a pop- up event at its retail store in Paris on September 22nd at 11:00 am CET.
