PROJECT LEADINGChoose a specific project

Innovation– How does the initiative/project go beyond existing good practice?

Efficiency– Does the final project offer good value for time, money and effort?

Give examples of project success of this leader

The purchase of Christian Dior

It wasn’t innovative because the group already holds perfume houses such as Guerlain. Sio, it was just one more brand in the aim to expend market holding.

Christian Dior is a very famous brand, it allows LVHM to earn money regarding to the time spent on negotiation. There is a high rentabilityIt can reach new parts on the market and new consumers (from BRICS) thank’s to this investment.

Success of Louis Vuitton Foundation, Kenzo, Veuve Cliquo, Christian Lacroix etc …He success in the making a link between all the companies he owns.

 The project of the iPhone

Before this project, smartphones didn’t exist. So the iPhone is the first smartphone. Thanks to its easy use and it new, it became an attractive product all around the world. Since 2007, the world is “influenced” by the iPhone movement.

SUSTAINABILITY LEADER (PERSON)

• Involvement– To what extent was this person responsible for initiating or driving strategy/initiatives?

• Engagement– How has this person communicated the details and benefits of the above to key stakeholders?

• Delivery– How far was this person responsible for delivering the initiative?

• Accountability– How far is this person responsible for the success of the project? Why?

This person is responsible for initiating because he is the leader and he takes the initiative to buy new brands (important) and reach new market. He is not responsible for driving strategy, some people in the group do that for him.

All brands in the group have one director, and each of them take part in the stock exchange so the development is controlled at any moment, they must care about the benefits and loss.

He takes big decisions. Everyone must refer to him when some changes occur.

Each company is responsible for its success. Bernard.A has to encourage his companies to do the best they can.

Steve Jobs had for strategy to concentrate itself on 4 main products: public and professional on one axis, computer and laptop on the other one.

They have choose to keep create a buzz by the way of the silence. In the objective to keep waiting customers, these will then create rumors and internet will speak for them. Apple will control rumors but without to contradict them. The aim is to let consumer speculated on the product. After they supply the debate by giving low information. At list, they will introduce the product to journalist and some people just before its marketing. This communication is characterized as a “non-communication” strategy.

LEADERSHIP STYLE He’s a transformative leader because he encourages his group members to do the best they can. He is entrepreneur; he takes

WHAT ARE THE CRITICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO STYLES ?

Bernard Arnaud purchases new luxurious company to win market shares and new consumers in the aim to expend his group. He minimises risks to undergo crises in invest in different sectors such as wine, clothes, jewels …

Contrary to B.Arnaud, Steve Jobs innovates with creating new products, new supports to use internet. He only creates he never buys brevets. It’s his way to win market share and sell more and more, in order to have the monopole with his new products.
