Is Gucci proficient at strategy?

" When Tom Honda was in demand, the business was more design-focused & control was centralised - there was disputes among Tom & De Terrain regarding managerial control " With the appointment of Robert Polet, control started to be decentralised every brand was given direct control over its label & hired relatively unidentified designers # very debatable move
" PPR bought again the 20% stake that LVMH possessed, acquired additional makes and entered into franchising
" Although some brands in the Gucci Group portfolio aren't very lucrative, they still have a high manufacturer equity, which usually contributes favorably towards the ideal advantage # Although Gucci's strategy was controversial and risky during the time of its getting pregnant, it has motivated current businesses and helped the company be a little more profitable # Gucci is good at approach
