In International Management the Replication Of Master’s Degree programme Second Cycle (D.M. 270/2004) in International Management Final Thesis The Replication of Strategic Format as Internationalization Method Calzedonia Case Supervisor Ch. Prof. Vladi Finotto Graduand Federica Giarola Matriculation Number 855683 Academic Year 2016 / 2017 ABSTRACT Business organizations may expand internationally by replicating part of their value chain, such as products, prices, marketing and communication tools, organizational structures and stores design through the creation of a format. However, it is difficult for replicators to find the right format, to adjust it in order to adapt to local environments and to transfer knowledge abroad. To dicover these issues, I studied the organizational structure of Calzedonia, the firm leader of underwear apparel, involving interested offices with long interviews. I find that Calzedonia, after a period of exploration, proceeded in terms of replicating a format in a flexible manner, supporting an ongoing learning process aimed to adapt what is flexible to the market. The format, in fact, presents two fundamental characteristics: fixed features used everywhere without modifications and flexible ones able to adapt locally. Another finding is how Calzedonia uses the format in its internationalization strategy, through franchising network. I conclude the thesis with an overview of the future challenges just approached by the firm: US and China markets. 1 CONTENTS AKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................................ 4 INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................................................... 5 CHAPTER 1 ............................................................................................................................... 7 1.

It is a comparative case study on cosmetic brands using one brand for each country- Maybelline New York (the U.S) and Maquillage (Japan). The paper starts off with introducing the two brands by providing the history and the background information of each brand. Company information of the owners of the brands (L’Oréal and Shiseido) is also included. In addition, an overview of current makeup market in the US and Japan is also written as extra background information. The two brands are chosen due to many similarities making it a fair comparison. They are similar in terms of price, the target market and the fact that they are both owned by global beauty companies. In terms of definition of beauty, the analysis is divided into body parts: skin, lips and eyes- specifically, eyeshadow for the eyes.

  • Dolce & Gabbana's Communication and Branding Analysis
    FACE Business Case Dolce & Gabbana’s Communication and Branding Analysis Il presente lavoro è stato redatto grazie al contributo degli studenti del corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fashion Communication: Cristiana Avolio, Federica Fancinelli, Valentina Foschi, Veronica Rimondi e Camilla Tosi 1 The work aims to analyze the communication strategies of Dolce&Gabbana, one of the most famous brands on a national and international level, that has been able to create, within a varied audience, a global strong recognition. The fashion company was founded in 1985 by two designers: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. 1. Zeitgeist and social context The inspiration of the designers Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana comes from Sicily and the post-war neo-realist filmography, a land of perfumes and mysteries, a precious treasure chest of memories from which derive motifs destined to characterize each new collection. Surely their point of strength and recognition, both in lingerie and tailoring, is the black lace, a symbol of rigor and feminine sensuality; in fact the woman of Dolce & Gabbana, in balance between the modest and uninhibited, embodies the woman of our time with a strong and fragile personality at the same time, a concrete woman but also a dreamer. Protagonists of the fashion shows and the advertising campaigns are often the icon of the typical Italian beauty as: Bianca Balti, Monica Bellucci, Maria Grazia Cucinotta and Bianca Brandolini d'Adda. The Mediterranean woman becomes the point of reference and the muse of the two designers who highlight her shapes and her strong personality. For example, the bustier, as a synonymous for excellence of femininity that women, of all ages, have always used to outline and emphasize their bodies, recurs frequently in the brand pictures.

    Geoffrey Weill Associates | www.geoffreyweill.com The High Line Hotel | TravelandLeisure.com | 3 June 2015 | VPM: 10,076,768 New York City’s Meatpacking District is far from up-and-coming, but the opening of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s new $760 million building means the southwest Manhattan neighborhood is reveling in a visitor resurgence. And the new arrivals don’t stop at the Whitney: there are plenty of boutiques, restaurants, and other worthwhile detours to keep visitors busy. Ahead, our ideal itinerary for a day spent in and around the new Whitney. Breakfast at Gansevoort Market 1 of 10 Start your day at the 6-month-old Gansevoort Market, where 24 vendors serve up everything from coffee to Basque tapas. The recently renovated food hall is on the site of the original Gansevoort Market, which was the country’s largest outdoor trading post in the 1800s. Grab a cappuccino from Champion Coffee and a brioche-muffin filled with savory treats at the Bruffin Café. Or stop at Yiaourti Greek yogurt bar, where the yogurt is made on-site. Mismatched tables and chairs provide seating under a skylight, and vines snaking up the walls add to the ambiance. Whitney Museum of American Art 2 of 10 After breakfast, head up the street to the Whitney’s new Renzo Piano-designed home on the waterfront. Since it re-opened on May 1, this 85-year-old art institution has claimed its place as the neighborhood’s largest draw. The inaugural exhibit, a survey of American art from 1900 to the present, culls from the museum’s holdings to bring new light to familiar icons and obscure works hidden away in storage for decades.

  • A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Beauty Advertisemnets by Maybelline: the 80’S and the Present
    A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF THE BEAUTY ADVERTISEMNETS BY MAYBELLINE: THE 80’S AND THE PRESENT Faranak Modaresi a thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts (MA) in General Linguistics at University of Amsterdam JUNE 2016 Supervisor: Ineke Vedder Co-Supervisor: Petra Sleeman 1 Acknowledgment I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the people who helped me through my studies. Foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Ineke Vedder for her continuous assistance and guidance. I would also like to thank my mother and my brother for all their love and support. 2 Abstract The research at hand employed a critical approach towards the discourse of advertising in order to ascertain the linguistic and visual features of the persuasive language in the beauty ads of the well-known cosmetics brand of Maybelline, during the 80’s and the time period of 2015-2016. The three-dimensional analytical model of Fairclough (1992) was used for the purpose of this research. The findings suggest that the beauty advertisements of both time periods employ different grammatical cohesive devices and lexical cohesive devices. However, there are a number of differences in the type of the features they employed in the advertisements. The advertising texts in the past were more cohesive with the use of a lot of lexical and grammatical cohesive devices. The sentences were longer and had a more complex structure in the past. The visual elements of the ads have also showed a slight change.

  • Präsentation Des Kalenders 2020 “Looking for Juliet” Von Paolo Roversi in Verona
    PRESSEMITTEILUNG PIRELLI: PRÄSENTATION DES KALENDERS 2020 “LOOKING FOR JULIET” VON PAOLO ROVERSI IN VERONA In Kombination mit einem Kurzfilm sucht Paolo Roversi nach dem Wesen der Julia Verona, 3. Dezember 2019 — “Looking for Juliet”, der von Paolo Roversi realisierte Pirelli Kalender für das Jahr 2020, wurde heute im Opernhaus von Verona präsentiert. Paolo Roversi hat sich dabei von William Shakespeares zeitlosem Drama inspirieren lassen. In der 47. Ausgabe des The Cal™ spricht er mit Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Rosalía, Stella Roversi, Yara Shahidi, Kristen Stewart und Emma Watson als Protagonistinnen die „Julia, die in jeder Frau lebt“ an. In diesem Jahr verschmilzt der Kalender erstmals Fotografie und Film, da er von einem Kurzfilm begleitet wird. In dem 18-minütigen Kurzfilm spielt Paolo Roversi sich selbst als Filmregisseur und interviewt Kandidatinnen für die Rolle der Julia. Nacheinander treten sie vor die Kamera des Regisseurs, um die facettenreiche Julia durch ein breites Spektrum an Emotionen und Ausdrucksformen darzustellen. Die Story gliedert sich in zwei Abschnitte. Im ersten Abschnitt werden die Darstellerinnen ohne Schminke und ohne Kostüme abgelichtet, während sie das Set betreten. Sie werden aufgenommen, während sie mit Roversi über das Projekt reden, in der Hoffnung, dafür ausgewählt zu werden. Sie sprechen über ihre eigenen Erfahrungen und ihre Vorstellung von Julia. Die Darstellerinnen öffnen sich einer intimen und ganz vertrauten Erzählung. Im zweiten Abschnitt tragen sie die Kostüme der Darstellerinnen in Shakespeares Tragödie. Der Effekt, der erzeugt wird, ist eine Story, in der Wirklichkeit und Fiktion ineinander übergehen, und die Grenzen, wie auf einigen Bildern, verschwimmen. „Ich war auf der Suche nach einer reinen Seele, geprägt von Unschuld, Willensstärke, Schönheit, Zärtlichkeit und Mut.
