PublicationAkris : Competition in the high-end fashion industryThe case study explores Akris, a family owned fashion company based in St Gallen, Switzerland. Starting with only one sewing machine in 1922, the firm has developed into one of the most acclaimed international brands in the high-end, pret-a-porter fashion segment over the past few decades. By the end of 2011, Akris fashion was available at more than 500 locations all over the world, including 15 flagship stores and 50 shop-in-shops at the most prestigious department stores. Celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Princess Charlene of Monaco, Nicole Kidman, and many others wear Akris. The case study highlights how Akris has gained a competitive advantage in the fashion industry by strategically differentiating itself from its rivals. Specifically, the case illustrates how a firm in a highly competitive, fast-paced environment benefits from a long-term strategy building upon distinctive capabilities and resources that have their roots in the firm's history.Type: case study

PublicationAlliance Governance at Klarna: Managing and Controlling Risks of an Alliance PortfolioThe case study object is the Swedish Internet start-up, Klarna, and its partnership-business model design and governance. Klarna provides payment solutions that increase sales for collaborating merchants in the e-commerce sector. Their invoice and installment payment services are an alternative for shoppers who do not want to pay via other services, such as credit cards, PayPalTM, or advance payment. Invoice payments are perceived as safe and simple to use and thus increase sales for merchants. Klarna's growth story represents very successful partner management. Klarna's great success primarily builds on its ability to minimize risk through effective alliance governance. This case study illustrates the governance and management of the alliance portfolio of Klarna and the interplay of control, trust, and risk in the interorganizational context. Special attention is given to the interrelation of important governance mechanisms, namely, agreement design, control mechanisms, and trust, and their influence on collaboration risks.Type: case study
