Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy: Expanding Brand Dominance in Asia (MNC)

LOUIS VUITTON MOËT HENNESSY:在亚洲扩充

This case explores the predicament Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) faced with respect to brand management when expanding its operations in China. In 2004, Asia accounted for about 40% of the sales of LVMH, however, it faced several challenges. One of its primary concerns was protecting its valuable brand against dilution. In China, phoney branding is particularly endemic. In addition, LVMH's expansion plans in Asia also opened up the issue of private ownership versus franchising with regards to the profitability of companies in the luxury goods industry.

本案例探究了全球奢侈品领导集团LVMH在中国进行擴充时在品牌管理方面所面临的窘境。LVMH是一家总资产达130亿美元的集团公司,其经营网点遍布全世界,在大约60个国家拥有1,500家零售商店,并成功征服了欧洲、美国及亚洲部份地区的奢侈品市场。1990年代初,LVMH决定拓展其在中国和韩国的经营规模。十年之后,LVMH进入了印度市场。到2004年,亚洲地区的销售额约占LVMH集团总销售额的40%。LVMH决定掌握正在增长中的亚洲市场。然而,LVMH在亚洲的拓展计划正面临着一些挑战,主要的担忧之一是要保护自身品牌价值免遭稀释。中国是一个巨大的市场,但也是假冒产品的肆虐之处。此外,LVMH在亚洲的拓展计划还触及了另一个问题,即奢侈品行业中的公司若要盈利,究竟应该采取私有模式还是特许经营的模式。
