China's love for luxury is not a phenomenon brought on by the
contemporary luxury market, but has been a part of Chinese culture and
history for generations. The Chinese luxury industry is again
re-emerging along modern cultural and socio-economic contexts, and is
taking the market by storm. Luxury the Chinese Way identifies the main
strengths and opportunities associated with the Chinese luxury market,
explains the influence of 'Chinese characteristics' on its development
and mode of operations, and reflects on the challenges associated with
diverse consumption orientations. Using references from the fields and
real-life data, this book provides a comprehensive overview on China's
innovation in luxury, and is an important contribution to the study of
the phenomenon that is the global luxury industry.
