...Le Marché du prêt-à-porter de luxe pour enfants en Chine, son potentiel, ses spécificités Remerciements En préambule à mon mémoire, je souhaite adresser mes remerciements les plus sincères aux personnes qui m’ont apporté leur aide tout au long de cette année car ils m’ont permis de passer une année très enrichissante à Sup de Luxe. Mes remerciements s’adressent également à Madame Nathalie Paindavoine - directrice de la marque Gabriel et Valentin, et Monsieur Sébastien Platero - directeur comercial chez Gabriel et Valentin, pour leur soutien et leur patience. Merci de m’avoir fait découvrir votre entreprise et votre secteur d’activité. Sans eux, ce mémoire n’aurait probablement jamais vu le jour. Je n’oublie pas non plus Monsieur MAO Ang, Directeur marketing de marque Annil (Chine), et Monsieur Ronnie L.H. Poon, assistant du vice-président de Citi International HongKong qui ont gentiment accepté de répondre à mes questions en prenant sur leur temps. Madame Fontaine Christelle, store manager chez Sergio Rossi au Bon Marché, a toute mon affection pour sa gentillesse et sa compréhension. Enfin, j’adresse mes plus sincères remerciements au jury qui me fait l’honneur de lire mon mémoire. Merci à toutes et à tous.

Si les nouvelles technologies permettent de multiplier les échanges et d’effacer les frontières, lors de négociations, se sont des personnes qui interviennent, pas des machines. Ainsi, les hommes d’affaires qui commercent avec des cultures différentes se doivent de les comprendre, afin d’aboutir à de meilleurs résultats. En effet, quelle attitude adopter, quelle manière de penser, de sentir et de réagir au sein d'un groupe humain ; ces critères que ne nous sommes pas à même d’apprécier, si l’on ne se confronte pas à des cultures différentes, au risque de les offenser. C’est dans cet ordre d’idée que certains hommes, tels que l’anthropologue Edward Thomas Hall, ou le psychologue Geert Hofstede, se sont intéressés aux études interculturelles. Nous nous intéresserons plus particulièrement au cas de la Suisse, qui soufre avant tout d’une série de clichés...

...Chapter 1 Case Study: Harmonix Embrace Your Inner Rock Star Little more than three years ago, you had probably never heard of Harmonix. In 2005, the video game design studio released Guitar Hero, which subsequently became the fastest video game in history to top $1 billion in North American sales. The game concept focuses around a plastic guitar-shaped controller. Players press colored buttons along the guitar neck to match a series of dots that scroll down the TV in time with music from a famous rock tune, such as the Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated” and Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water.” Players score points based on their accuracy. In November 2007, Harmonix released Rock Band, adding drums, vocals, and bass guitar options to the game. Rock Band has sold over 3.5 million units with a $169 price tag (most video games retail at $50 to $60). In 2006, Harmonix’s founders sold the company to Viacom for $175 million, maintaining their operational autonomy while providing them greater budgets for product development and licensing music for their games. Harmonix’s success, however, did not come overnight. The company was originally founded by Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy in 1995, focused around some demo software they had created in grad school and a company vision of providing a way for people without much musical training or talent to experience the joy of playing and creating music. The founders believed that if people had the opportunity to create their own music, they would jump...

...Learning with Cases INTRODUCTION The case study method of teaching used in management education is quite different from most of the methods of teaching used at the school and undergraduate course levels. Unlike traditional lecture-based teaching where student participation in the classroom is minimal, the case method is an active learning method, which requires participation and involvement from the student in the classroom. For students who have been exposed only to the traditional teaching methods, this calls for a major change in their approach to learning. This introduction is intended to provide students with some basic information about the case method, and guidelines about what they must do to gain the maximum benefit from the method. We begin by taking a brief look at what case studies are, and how they are used in the classroom. Then we discuss what the student needs to do to prepare for a class, and what she can expect during the case discussion. We also explain how student performance is evaluated in a case study based course. Finally, we describe the benefits a student of management can expect to gain through the use of the case method. WHAT IS A CASE STUDY? There is no universally accepted definition for a case study, and the case method means different things to different people. Consequently, all case studies are not structured similarly, and variations abound in terms of style, structure and approach. Case material ranges from small caselets (a few paragraphs...
