MILANO

Luxury brands have been very slow in embedding digital strategies into their business models and value chains. To generate value for both customers and stakeholders, however, it is pivotal to engage in a digital transformation that includes successful and visionary management strategies. It is vital that luxury managers are equipped with the right skills to manage a brand in a booming economy and during downturns.
