Presentation of the programme
The Summer Trip is a 5-day programme based on the following themes and challenges
- The evolution of brand strategy in the luxury sector
- Creativity: a major challenge in the evolution and sustainability of luxury brands and companies
Strengths of the programme
The challenge is to know how to combine creation and management in a luxury house, as in all types of businesses. As competition intensifies and the risk of trivialisation of the offer becomes more and more real, the brand is no longer the only factor that can make a difference. An essential asset of creation is its ability to make the vital differentiation by projecting itself into an original imaginary territory. It is a strategic tool of primary importance in the growth policy of any company, particularly in the luxury sector. During an intensive week of courses, meetings and workshops with the actors of these professions, the future managers are made aware of the role of creation, and they discover the stakes, methods, advantages and pitfalls of creative management.
Programme
The programme is based on courses/lectures given by professionals from the sector, creativity workshops, visits to emblematic sites; boutiques, luxury locations, foundations, etc...
Throughout their stay, students benefit from a tailor-made timetable, allowing them to combine learning with discovering Paris, the capital of luxury.
