Abstract Mcgowan, Kristie Lee ABSTRACT MCGOWAN, KRISTIE LEE. Understanding and Validating Cyberscape Dimensions in the Personal Luxury Goods Industry (Under the direction of Dr. Nancy L. Cassill) Marketing scholars and practitioners have long recognized the importance of evolving with target customers’ wants and needs to create memorable customer experiences. By focusing on the personal luxury goods industry and current mobile, social and e-commerce technologies, this research identifies and validates digital cyberscape dimensions that add to Bitner’s (1992) conceptual Servicescape Framework. Digital innovation has become progressively important for extending the ways in which consumers and businesses interact, both in traditional brick and mortar retail environments as well as online. This research utilized a qualitative research methodology with inductive, iterative content and cluster analyses. Primary and secondary sources were utilized, as well as a database of 601 luxury firms created and maintained by the North Carolina State University Global Luxury Management Program. Research Objective I establishes a foundational understanding of the cyberscape for luxury markets by identifying 61 features used for the digital delivery of the customer experience on luxury brand website homepages. Research Objective II develops evaluative criteria for analyzing and organizing identified features into three cyberscape dimensions – availability, engagement, and service - and conducts an assessment of these criteria from a sample of 88 personal luxury companies to better understand the luxury cyberscape. A cluster analysis groups the 88 luxury companies into homogenous groups based on absence and presence of features and dimensions – The Digitally Unengaged, The Digital Hit or Misses, The Digitally Highly Social, The Digital High Performers, and The Digitally Sporadic Participants – while spider charts visually illustrate the participation of each group across features and dimensions. Research Objective III validates the cyberscape dimensions and evaluative criteria with personal luxury executives by confirming the relevancy of the research with the current digital landscape of the personal luxury industry. Executive commentary from the interviews clearly aligns with the clustering of the firms, thereby validating this research. Overall, the three dimensions identified in this study properly represent the evolution of Bitner’s (1992) Servicescape Framework. By contributing digital dimensions that account for current mobile, social and e-commerce technologies as found in this study, the conceptual Servicescape Framework is now more representative of the current state of the personal luxury goods industry. The theoretical implications of this research are further strengthened by the practical implications validated during the executive interviews and the influence of these dimensions on broader corporate digital strategies. Future research can build upon the new conceptual framework outlined in this research to other luxury industries and sectors (e.g., experiential luxury, luxury transportation). This research can also serve as a guide for exploring and identifying dimensions that evolve as a result of future technological innovations. The cluster analysis approach utilized in this research also serves as a guide for understanding and comparing corporate digital strategies. © Copyright 2016 Kristie Lee McGowan All Rights Reserved Understanding and Validating Cyberscape Dimensions in the Personal Luxury Customer Experience by Kristie Lee McGowan A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Textile Technology Management Raleigh, North Carolina 2016 APPROVED BY: _________________________________ _________________________________ Dr. Nancy Cassill Dr. Marguerite Moore Committee Chair _________________________________ _________________________________ Dr. Yingjiao Xu Dr. Jonathan Bohlmann DEDICATION This research is dedicated to my mother, Wendy Lee DiLuna (deceased), and my grandmother, Mary Josephine DiLuna.

Despite this environment, the Christian Dior Group turned in a very strong performance: • Operating income was up 9%, reaching an historic high of 2,213 million euros; • Net income from continuing operations up 49% and net earnings up 70%. Remember that, as early as 2000, we took the measures that would enable us not only to weather the crisis, but to develop and gain market share despite difficult economic conditions. For this reason, our priority was the growth of our master brands and, with the cash flow they generate, the improvement of our financial position. Christian Dior Couture again recorded one of the strongest performances in its sector. Sales revenues grew 6% and, excluding the impact of the 20% decline in the dollar and the 10% decline in the yen, growth would have been 15%.

Ou encore au dix-neuvième siècle, dans le Paris des fêtes impériales, quand Louis Vuitton, artisan malletier, inventa les bagages modernes. Aujourd’hui leader mondial du luxe, le groupe LVMH est le fruit d’alliances successives entre des entreprises qui, de génération en génération, ont su marier traditions d’excellence, passion créative, ouverture au monde et esprit de conquête. Désormais ensemble, elles composent un groupe puissant de dimension mondiale, mettent leur expertise au service de marques plus jeunes et continuent à cultiver l’art de grandir et de traverser le temps sans perdre leur âme et leur image d’exception.
