A WORD FROM THE ORGANIZERS INSEEC, with the support of the International University of Monaco, part of the group since 2010, is proud to organize this second edition of the Monaco Symposium on Luxury in the glamorous location of Monte Carlo. The Organizing Committee would like to thank the Monaco Government and the Monaco Tourism Authority for their ongoing support, as well as the company executives and leaders who have accepted to share their visions, insights and expertise during both these days. The Monaco Symposium on Luxury is the unique venue bringing together high profile academic researchers and top executives in the luxury fields to meet and develop innovative ideas and mutual inspiration. This fruitful synergy is made possible thanks to the strong dedication and shared interests, of all the “stakeholders” of the symposium.
THANK YOU TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE, AND AUTHORS We thank the members of our scientific committee: Marie-Cécile Cervellon (Edhec), Darren Dahl (British Columbia), David Dubois (Insead), Susan Fournier (Boston University), Silvia Grappi (Modena e Reggio Emilia), Oliver Heil (Mainz), Nadine Hennigs (Hannover), Liselot Hudders (Ghent), Barbara Kahn (Wharton), Jean-Noël Kapferer (INSEEC), Eunju Ko (Yonsei), Michel Laroche (Concordia), Angela Lee (Northwestern), Joe Nunes (University of Southern California), Mario Pandelaere (Ghent and Virginia Tech), Bernd Schmitt (Columbia), LJ Shrum (HEC Paris), Luk Warlop (Leuven and BI Oslo), Klaus-Peter Wiedmann (Hannover), Judy Zaichkowsky (Simon Fraser), John Zhang (Wharton). They provided their expertise in the reviewing process, after helping to attract good submissions through their reputation. We also thank very deeply the 90 additional anonymous reviewers. Overall, we are very pleased to see that colleagues from 15 countries were active in the reviewing process. We thank the authors of the 81 submitted papers, although we could accommodate only 45 of them in the final program. We thank the authors of the accepted papers, who come to Monaco to present their work. The most represented countries, after France (associated with 17 papers) are the USA (8), the UK (7), and Germany (6). But 16 other countries are represented: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Italy, Korea, Monaco, Morocco, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, The Netherlands, and The United Arab Emirates. It is encouraging, for the future of academic research on luxury, to note that 14 papers are from multinational teams, some of them coming from three different nations. We thank the successive editors-in-chief of the Journal of Business Research. Professor Arch Woodside gave us the opportunity to guest edit a special issue following the 2014 Monaco Symposium on Luxury. Professor Naveen Donthu, the new editor-in-chief, renews this opportunity and there will be a special issue based on the 2016 Symposium. This will add lasting visibility of the research presented during these two days.

Using new technologies and neurosciences to create emotional messages. The luxury industry, more than any other category, is governed by consumer expectations and subtle unconscious motivations. As such it’s imperative that premium and luxury brands capture and understand unconscious motivations and reactions (System 1 thinking) as well as conscious (System 2 thinking) when it comes down to all interactions they have with their consumers. Over the last decade Neuroscience has helped successful brands understand and test what their brand, communications and products stand for in consumers’ minds and hearts. As a global leader in Neuroscience, Nielsen will demonstrate the value of this methodology and share how it compliments other research methodologies, specifically within the context of luxury brands. By Kate SLAYMAKER, Head of Travel and Luxury for Nielsen UK - Kate Slaymaker has advised premium businesses on brand essence and marketing effectiveness research for 5 years, following a former career in events. Kate’s expertise lies within advertising effectiveness, and more specifically digital media.

What business models for Media in luxury? “Nearly 50 percent of media consumption in the United States is digital, compared to 32 percent in 2009”, according to a new report by L2“As digital consumption has redefined consumer experiences and expectations, many individuals have become unwilling to pay for content that was once purchased, putting advertisers in a tight spot as the traditional media model stalls. Radical shifts in media consumption have torn down barriers to entry, redefined consumer expectations and forged new competitors that are siphoning audience and ad dollars away from traditional media.” How can traditional media adapt?

Key Insights – How luxury brands re-define the customer experiences of Millenials?
By Nathalie REMY, Senior Partner, McKinsey
9:30-10:30
Panel Discussion – Innovation in Customer experiences – changing the scale of luxury dimensions Changing Retail Landscape, phygital experiences, Managing Service excellence
Even in the luxury category, commoditization is growing especially for products and services that can be compared across brands and channels. Thus, putting the customer experience at the core of the luxury experience appears to be of a growing importance and as a strong differentiator and driver of the brand attachment. During this panel discussion we will explore how premium brands have already defined and are implementing a superior experience to be delivered to their clients to increase brand engagement and support their growth. We will also explore how existing and future technologies will play an increasing role in completing the human and people role.
