Globalization has transformed the competitive landscape, necessitating greater attention to cultural dynamics in foreign markets. This thesis examines the cultural adaptation strategies employed by the Italian fashion sector to enter and establish a presence in the Chinese market. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining international marketing, intercultural management, and economic analysis, the study explores the unique characteristics of the Chinese market, the cultural differences between Italy and China, and the challenges faced by Italian brands in localizing their products and communicating the value of "Made in Italy." The research focuses on three main areas: 1. The importance of respecting Chinese cultural values in product design and branding. 2. The role of Chinese digital platforms (e.g., WeChat, Tmall, Douyin) in reaching target consumers. 3. The competition with local brands, which demonstrate greater agility in responding to market trends. Through case study analysis and recent data, the study highlights successful strategies and provides recommendations to enhance the competitiveness of Italian brands in China. The findings underscore how a respectful and well-localized approach can not only boost sales but also foster lasting relationships with Chinese consumers.
La globalizzazione ha trasformato il panorama competitivo, rendendo necessaria una maggiore attenzione alle dinamiche culturali nei mercati esteri. Questa tesi analizza le strategie di adattamento culturale adottate dal settore moda italiano per entrare e consolidarsi nel mercato cinese. Attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare, che combina marketing internazionale, management interculturale e analisi economica, lo studio indaga le peculiarità del mercato cinese, le differenze culturali con l'Italia e le sfide che i brand italiani affrontano nel localizzare i loro prodotti e comunicare il valore del "Made in Italy". Il lavoro si concentra su tre aspetti principali: L'importanza del rispetto dei valori culturali cinesi nella progettazione e nel branding. Il ruolo delle piattaforme digitali cinesi (es. WeChat, Tmall, Douyin) per raggiungere i consumatori target. Il confronto con i marchi locali, che dimostrano maggiore agilità nella risposta alle tendenze di mercato. Attraverso un'analisi di case studies e dati recenti, si evidenziano le strategie di successo e si propongono raccomandazioni per rafforzare la competitività dei marchi italiani in Cina. I risultati sottolineano come un approccio rispettoso e ben localizzato possa non solo aumentare le vendite, ma anche costruire relazioni durature con i consumatori cinesi.

Abstract
Globalization has transformed the competitive landscape, necessitating greater attention to cultural dynamics in foreign markets. This thesis examines the cultural adaptation strategies employed by the Italian fashion sector to enter and establish a presence in the Chinese market. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining international marketing, intercultural management, and economic analysis, the study explores the unique characteristics of the Chinese market, the cultural differences between Italy and China, and the challenges faced by Italian brands in localizing their products and communicating the value of "Made in Italy." The research focuses on three main areas: 1. The importance of respecting Chinese cultural values in product design and branding. 2. The role of Chinese digital platforms (e.g., WeChat, Tmall, Douyin) in reaching target consumers. 3. The competition with local brands, which demonstrate greater agility in responding to market trends. Through case study analysis and recent data, the study highlights successful strategies and provides recommendations to enhance the competitiveness of Italian brands in China. The findings underscore how a respectful and well-localized approach can not only boost sales but also foster lasting relationships with Chinese consumers.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
