Description:

The new book "Luxury Marketing and Management" by Dr. Daniel A. Langer and Prof. Dr. Oliver P. Heil (PhD) takes the understanding of luxury to the next level. It is written for managers, researchers and consumers, who want to expand their expertise on the topic.

What is luxury, really? This book provides fundamentally new insights into the seemingly elusive concept of luxury using examples from real life and precise cases. The outstanding feature is the development of the first numerical luxury index allowing managers to compare various categories and signaling product opportunities. The concept of luxury signals leads to a large variety of additional marketing opportunities. Also, a new, precise and operational definition of luxury is developed. Providing empirical insights for Europe, America and Asia this book opens challenging perspectives to all those concerned with luxury.

The authors are co-directors of the Center for Research on Luxury at the University of Mainz, which has the ambition to pioneer the research on luxury and to provide world-class publications and education on the topic.
