Abstract
From an international retailing perspective, this empirical study examines the parenting advantages offered by EMNCs in luxury fashion retail sector. Through the case study of the Shandong Ruyi Group, the qualitative data was collected through ten semi-structured interviews with senior managers from both parent group and subsidiary luxury fashion brands. It is a win-win situation for the EMNCs as parent groups of Western luxury fashion brands, as the EMNCs can access critical assets including advanced brand management expertise, retailing know-how, and the services skills needed for higher income consumers. Meanwhile, the subsidiary brands benefit from a high degree of autonomy, intra-group resource utilisation, a competitive brand portfolio, and most importantly economies of scales in the value chain, particularly in production. The perceived risks of EMNCs ownership include potentially restricted autonomy and the uncertainty over corporate development activities in the future, as well as the risks of diluting brand image caused by the inconsistency between country of origin and country of ownership.
