Overview

The luxury sector is a major aspect of the French economy and requires a specific set of managerial skills and expertise. The HEC Paris Summer Program in Luxury Management is geared towards students who possess the following qualities:

  • Intellectual curiosity and a particular interest in luxury business
  • An interest in different ways of doing business
  • A taste for refined goods and services

This summer program is taught via blended learning to maximize the experience. Pre-recorded sessions introduce participants to key concepts and principles of luxury management to learn at your own pace. This allows greater flexibility to explore the luxury ecosystem in and around Paris. In-person sessions take your learning to the next level through interactions with professors, a range of guest speakers from the luxury industry and peers from around the world.

The curriculum seeks to provide in-depth understanding of the luxury industry, its role in society and the key principles defining it, through particular focus on luxury brand management, the touchpoint between brand and customer, the balance between business and creation and the contemporary sales strategies adopted by luxury brands.

Although the program is intended for participants with limited experience in the luxury industry, the course material and teaching methods still provide a challenging experience for those with more experience and more advanced knowledge.
