    Course Timetable

    This course is delivered in semi-intensive mode over 6 days seminars. It entails daily 3-hours face-to-face lectures from 9am to 12pm and 3,5-hours working sessions from 1pm-4:30pm. 

    Due to Sylvie's area of speciality, this Tri 2, 2018 offering of this course will have a Luxury focus;

    The course is dedicated to give participants awareness and understanding of strategic perspectives and unique challenges faced by organizations within the wine industry in regards to luxury and premium brand positioning.

    Luxury and premium brands have experienced remarkable growth and success in the last thirty years. The strong aspiration power and dream factors of luxury brands constitute nowadays an example of what many mass market brands would like to develop to differentiate and create strong customer loyalty.

    At the same time, globalization and development of new emerging countries have also been very beneficial to luxury brands. All markets have demonstrated strong interest for luxury goods and services. In many countries local managers would like to understand the foundations of luxury brand management in order to possibly develop local premium or high end/luxury brands.

    For all these reasons, this class will concentrate on the foundations of premium/luxury brand management and the art of luxury branding. It will analyse and explain how companies can create and grow luxury brands and then leverage on brand equity to create value and significant return on investment for their shareholders through proper brand management.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes


    This course is delivered in semi-intensive mode over 5 days. It entails daily face-to-face lectures and working sessions.

    This course emphasizes Experiential and Action Learning as opposed to passive listening. Rather than rehashing concepts, discussions and interactions will be devoted to exploring, probing, extending and critically reflecting on the course content and outcomes. The fundamental goal of this Entrepreneurship class is to bring together interested, passionate and knowledgeable people to create a forum where they can share, learn, engage, question, contribute, discuss and debate about key issues they deem to be important about entrepreneurship concepts and practices. It is about knowledge generation via a minimally-structured, highly-engaging, and participant-driven format. Participants are asked to bring energy and enthusiasm, a collaborative mindset, and an open-mindedness
