Was the current growth sustainable? What procedures should Louis Vuitton take to deal with challenges that are upcoming? This case takes the student through the confronting a worldwide company faces as it tries to grow a small business that is based on one of the very valued high end brands in the world.
The case shows the fundamental tactical tension between what firms must do, given the competitive environment; what it could do, given its resources and organization; and what leaders need to do, given their essential motivations and beliefs, which shape the way they see the problems.
