Global Master for Luxury Business Professionals

Milano · London · Paris

MIP Politecnico di Milano and Istituto Marangoni have partnered to develop a joint a 12-month modular programme. Participants explore a range of subjects and topics such as management, digital transformation, marketing, sustainability, finance, and supply chain.

The luxury market has undergone a major fundamental transformation in response to the changing dynamics of the global retail environment, digital transformation, and an ever-changing economic sentiment.

Experimental retail has disrupted traditional luxury business models, and raising serious questions about retailment, E-Commerce, the future of physical stores, and the right balance of digital and physical in the fashion industry. Luxury brands have been consistently revisiting their supply chain strategies acknowledging that consumer journeys are becoming longer, fashion buying cycles shorter, and that social responsibility and sustainability are now key factors for a brand’s success.

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.

Participants to this MIP Politecnico di Milano and Istituto Marangoni joint programme explore a range of subjects and topics such as management, digital transformation, marketing, sustainability, finance, and supply chain. The programme aims to equip luxury professionals with the essential skills needed to manage a brand, through an in-depth and integrated focus on the topics that bridge the gap between creative and business areas:

  • Manage a luxury brand under different scenarios, focusing on strategic, managerial, and social areas of luxury retail and industry dynamics. 
  • Design innovative strategies that capitalize on the dynamic nature of the luxury industry, to meet the current and future needs of stakeholders.
  • Transform luxury business models and value chains through a deep understanding of the complex relationships between supply chain management, disruptive innovation, pricing, experiential marketing, and digital transformation.
  • Adopt data-driven strategies to rethink the approaches and frameworks around value creation, sustainable luxury, leadership, and performance management. 

The academic structure of this master adopts advanced teaching methods based on a smart learning model involving remote live sessions, content that can be used asynchronously on the digital platform and some face-to-face learning.
