This exercise gives you practice analyzing whether a powerful investment group should acquire a well-known brand or not, the topic of Chapter 5, and whether there is any business ethics involved in this decision making (Chapter 10).
Step 1: Review current news articles about Tiffany &Co as posted on business websites such as Bloomberg News, Yahoo finance. Note that LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton is the world’s leading luxury products group) recently acquired Tiffany & Co. While the deal was signed on November 25, 2019, it took a while to complete it. The sale was finalized on January 7, 2021 (https://www.lvmh.com/news-documents/press-releases/lvmh-completes-the-acquisition-of-tiffany-and-co/)
Step 2: Discuss whether LVMH should or should not try to acquire Tiffany & Co. Give the pros and cons of such a horizontal integration strategy. Recall that LVMH recently acquired several luxury fashion brands such as Fendi, Christian Dior, Bulgari, to name a few. Is there any business ethics involved in this high-profile acquisition?
