Internationalization is critical for any business, and especially so for global by- nature fashion brands. Of the many industry sectors, fashion is probably one of the most active in terms of internationalization. Compared with other industry sectors, it is generally easier for fashion brands to enter international markets because little financial investment is required, small- scale retail space is possible, and economies of scale can be maximized. Moreover, the dynamic global market, widespread supplier networks and supply chains strengthen the fashion industry's advantage in internationalization. As a result, there are more successful internationalization cases in the fashion industry than in any other sector. The course aims to analise the internationalization of fashion brands, with a focus on brnding, communication and innovation (product and process).
