Illegitimate trade in Luxury Supply chain: main issues and countering strategies
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to provide a supply chain view of counterfeiting and illegitimate trade phenomena, such as factory overruns, gray market, supply chain infiltrations, product diversion, retail service counterfeiting and sale of stolen goods, to
define and illuminate the interaction of the legitimate and the illegitimate supply chains in the fashion industry. We reviewed the literature on illegitimate trade and we used the LISC model to represent and include all the illegitimate trade phenomena under analysis, introducing the notion of perspective. We present preliminary findings from several companies that we have gathered data, using a case study research approach
Managing operation processes in an Italian Mc Donald's restaurant
No full textThe case presents the application of operations processes and techniques to the fast food service industry, giving students the opportunity to manage the main processes of a McDonald's restaurant. The case starts with a brief introduction to the McDonald's Corporation and its history, with a particular focus on the Italian market, describing the main operations goals and decisions implemented over a period of 50 years, and describes the main processes managed at restaurant level such as the sales forecasting process, the staffing process and the production planning and execution process. The second part of the includes a series of exercises or a simulation on the processes mentioned to give students the opportunity to try their hand at managing a McDonald's restaurant, experiencing the complexity of the sales forecast process and the trade-offs between cost and service to be managed when taking decisions on staffing and on production planning and execution. It offers students the opportunity to try their hands at managing the main processes that take place in a McDonald's restaurant, with the goals of minimizing waste and respecting defined service levels

Legitimate vs illegitimate: the luxury supply chain and its doppelganger
No full textPurpose – The increase in international trade, the advances in technology, the growing importance
of the emerging markets are the main factors that have contributed to the explosion of counterfeiting
experienced in recent years, estimated to be valued at about 5-7 per cent of the world trade. The luxury
industry in Italy has been particularly hard hit and most brands nowadays are urgently looking for
demand-side and supply-side strategies to track and control the phenomenon. The aim of this paper is
to provide a supply chain view of counterfeiting and illegitimate trade phenomena, in a supply chain
risk management perspective, to define and illuminate the interaction of the legitimate and the
illegitimate supply chains.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper introduces the LISC model to represent and include
all the illegitimate trade phenomena under analysis such as pure counterfeiting, factory overruns, grey
and parallel market, supply chain infiltrations, product diversion and sale of stolen goods
Findings – The interrelations between legitimate and illegitimate supply chains are crucial to
approach counterfeiting issue and define which illegitimate trade paths are more harmful to companies
and customers.
Research limitations/implications – The first limitation of the work is that the illegitimate trade
categories defined in this paper mainly rely on data and phenomena collected from secondary sources
that have not yet been directly observed by the authors. The second one is that a specific focus on
high-end fashion industry was employed throughout this work: further analysis for evaluating the
applicability and the significance of the illegitimate trade in other industries is still pending. The final
limitation stems from the fact that it will be necessary to investigate the implications and the
applicability of the model to the illegitimate on-line trade.
Practical implications – During the course of the MI-FIDO project, the model and the selection
rules identified for illegitimate trade family classification were used as a basis for defining the rules for
anomalies detection to be included in a “track and trace” system developed the project team currently
under with a major Italian fashion brand.
Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first work that attempts to present a
concise and systematic approach to luxury illegitimate trade from a supply chain perspective.
Understanding which legitimate-illegitimate supply chain interactions are the most damaging will
help fashion luxury and other industries to battle the counterfeiting phenomenon more effectivel
The anti-counterfeiting potential of RFID technologies in the fashion supply chain
No full textThe aim of this paper is to explore the potential of RFID technology in identifying and preventing illegitimate
trade throughout the fashion supply chain via item-level traceability in the context of the Made-in-Italy Fashion
Identity and Originality (MI-FIDO) project. We review the literature on illegitimate trade, fashion supply chain
management, and RFID anti-counterfeiting. We introduce LISC, a supply chain-based illegitimate trade
classification model that enables us to track counterfeiting, factory overruns, parallel trading, and the sale of
stolen goods and to assess the impact of each such event on companies, as well as to assess the potential of RFID
technology in thwarting these events. Finally, we present the case of Versace Group: the Firm recently launched
an anti-counterfeiting initiative with the ultimate goal of creating a “Fashion Passport” to track and certify the
authenticity their garments. The results show significant potential for RFID technology to fight illegitimate trade
in the fashion industry especially for high ticket value items
