  • Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990
    Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990 Geoffrey Jones Christina Lubinski Working Paper 12-003 July 22, 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Geoffrey Jones and Christina Lubinski Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990 Geoffrey Jones Christina Lubinski 1 Abstract This working paper examines corporate strategies of political risk management during the twentieth century. It focuses especially on Beiersdorf, a German-based pharmaceutical and skin care company. During World War 1 the expropriation of its brands and trademarks revealed its vulnerability to political risk. Following the advent of the Nazi regime in 1933, the largely Jewish owned and managed company, faced a uniquely challenging combination of home and host country political risk. The paper reviews the firm's responses to these adverse circumstances, challenging the prevailing literature which interprets so-called "cloaking" activities as one element of businesses’ cooperation with the Nazis. The paper departs from previous literature in assessing the outcomes of the company’s strategies after 1945. It examines the challenges and costs faced by the company in recovering the ownership of its brands. While the management of distance became much easier over the course of the twentieth century because of communications

STRATÉGIE ET INGÉNIERIE DES AFFAIRES INTERNATIONALES THE AIRLINES BUSINESS IN TRAVEL RETAIL FOR GUERLAIN: THE STEP BEYOND… Soutenu par Anne-Flore MAMAN Promotion 2005 Confidentiel PDF créé avec la version d'essai pdfFactory www.gs2i.fr/fineprint/pdffactory.htm NOT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT Subject: The Airlines Business in Travel Retail for Guerlain: The Step Beyond… Author: Ms. Anne-Flore MAMAN Company: GUERLAIN, France Director of project: Mrs Virginie HERON Tutor: Mr Cedomir NESTOROVIC Oral's date: Thursday 16th November 2006 Key words: TR Sets; Business Segments; Marketing Mix; Airlines; Strategy Study: PRESENTATION: In the highly competitive world of Fragrances and Cosmetics it has become more than ever crucial for Brands to build on a strong and internationally recognized Brand Image. In this vein, the Travel Retail Market turns out to be an incredible showcase. Part of this Distribution Channel, the Airlines Business may be the next tool for high-end Brands to convey their message throughout the world. It is presently underused by Guerlain. Our purpose is thus to come up with strategic marketing recommendations in this specific Business, consistent with the Brand image and with its usual selling policies. Our vision is that the Company could be as successful in the Airlines Business as it is in the Travel Retail Worldwide one. CONSTRAINTS: Our main constraint was the lack of available information on the subject: if a lot of Brands capitalize a lot on their Travel Retail Business Units, usually no specific unit is dedicated to the Airlines Business. Thus, most of the Brands selling on board turn out to be more driven by the business than driving it.

  • Jeanne Lanvin
    JEANNE LANVIN A 01long history of success: the If one glances behind the imposing façade of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 22, in Paris, Lanvin fashion house is the oldest one will see a world full of history. For this is the Lanvin headquarters, the oldest couture in the world. The first creations house in the world. Founded by Jeanne Lanvin, who at the outset of her career could not by the later haute couture salon even afford to buy fabric for her creations. were simple clothes for children. Lanvin’s first contact with fashion came early in life—admittedly less out of creative passion than economic hardship. In order to help support her six younger siblings, Lanvin, then only fifteen, took a job with a tailor in the suburbs of Paris. In 1890, at twenty-seven, Lanvin took the daring leap into independence, though on a modest scale. Not far from the splendid head office of today, she rented two rooms in which, for lack of fabric, she at first made only hats. Since the severe children’s fashions of the turn of the century did not appeal to her, she tailored the clothing for her young daughter Marguerite herself: tunic dresses designed for easy movement (without tight corsets or starched collars) in colorful patterned cotton fabrics, generally adorned with elaborate smocking. The gentle Marguerite, later known as Marie-Blanche, was to become the Salon Lanvin’s first model. When walking JEANNE LANVIN on the street, other mothers asked Lanvin and her daughter from where the colorful loose dresses came.

  • PART I Emperor of Perfume
    PART I Emperor of Perfume CHAPTER 1 France’s First Billionaire Coty has rattled the bogy of communism enough to give colic to the bourgeoisie. Arthur Train Jr. Not one man in France would have predicted that the country’s first billionaire would be a Corsican who launched a cosmetics and perfume business in 1904 that would become a worldwide enterprise before his death in 1934. François Spoturno, called Coty, had astounded the business world in 1906 by becoming a multimillionaire within two years of creating his first perfume,La Rose Jacqueminot. Soon after the end of World War I, he was a billionaire parfumeur and industrialist in the manufacture of cosmetics and their distribution worldwide. François Coty’s wealth surpassed that of the industrial magnates operating in the conventional pillars of the French economy, such as the Merciers, electricity producers who had brought this form of energy to Paris; automobile pioneers Louis Renault and André Citroen; and André Michelin, whose tires rolled the world over at the same time that Coty was selling powder puffs on five continents. The Coty firm’s small consumer items—cologne, powder, soap, lipstick—outsold capital goods and big-ticket items. A Frenchman acquired unimaginable wealth during the most devastating war in the history of Europe, fought on French soil. It seemed impossible, yet it happened. By 1917, the war against Germany had become a disaster for France. Serious mutinies had broken out among the starving and distressed soldiers in sixteen French army corps. At the last moment, the United States entered the war in France, moving swiftly to save the country.
