The Dolce and Gabbana case outlines a cultural misunderstanding that devastated D&G’s reputation in China.<\/p>\n

In this case study, the goal is for you to write precisely, connect evidence precisely, and justify your conclusions. However, our approach will be similar to the Disney case.  Instead of identifying a root cause problem, you will examine the case to answer questions.  After you have submitted your response, provide thoughtful comments on one peer’s submission.<\/p>\n

Explore Three Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On page 3, the case lists several reasons why many Chinese took offense to the video (chopsticks, narrow eyes, male voice, sexist overtones, etc.)  Please choose <\/span>one<\/span> <\/span>of these aspects and do informal research online to learn more about the issue.   Then, answer these questions:\n
      \n
    1. \n
        \n
      1. Describe D&G’s strategic goal in releasing the videos (1 or 2 sentences).<\/li>\n
      2. Describe <\/span>one<\/span> <\/span>culturally offensive aspect of the video and its significance from a Chinese cultural perspective.  <\/span>Cite your 2 + research sources<\/span>. (1\/3 to 1\/2 page).  <\/li>\n
      3. Explain why many Chinese took offense to the issue. (A few sentences)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      4. Knowing D&G’s goals and Chinese culture (from your research), how would you advise D&G to fix the video to make it culturally appropriate? Please <\/span>justify<\/span> <\/span>your answer.  (In this question, you are limited to fixing the <\/span>one<\/span> <\/span>issue you addressed above).  (1\/4 to 1\/3 page)<\/li>\n
      5. Is there anything else (not in the case) about the video that might offend <\/span>potential customers<\/span> <\/span>(Chinese or otherwise)? Please <\/span>justify<\/span> <\/span>your response whether you believe there is or is not additional offensive material.  (1\/3 to 1\/2 page)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
