\nWhen Your Competitive Advantage Walks Out the Door: Gucci
\nOn September 10, 2001, French retailer Pinault Printemps Redoute
\n(PPR) agreed to acquire Gucci Group
\n\u2014
\nthe Italian
\n–
\nbased fashion house and luxury goods maker. On November 4, 2003, the managers and
\nshareholders of the two companies were stunned to learn that Chairman Domenico De Sole and Vice
\nChairman Tom Ford would be le
\naving Gucci in April, 2004.
\nThe duo has masterminded Gucci\u2019s transformation from a near
\n–
\nbankrupt family firm with an over
\n–
\nextended
\nbrand into one of the world\u2019s hottest fashion houses. As creative director, Tom Ford had established Gucci as
\na style leader
\nand hired young designers such as Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen. De Sole\u2019s
\nastute leadership had instituted careful planning and financial discipline, and built Gucci\u2019s global presence
\n\u2014
\nespecially in Asia.
\nHow great a blow was De Sole and Ford\u2019s
\ndeparture to the parent PPR? In principle, a new CEO and new
\nhead of design could be hired. In practice, talent of the ilk of De Sole and Ford was rare
\n\u2014
\nespecially a
\ncombination of designer and CEO who could collaborate around a shared vision.
\nThe stock mar
\nket\u2019s reaction was ominous. On November 3, 2003, Gucci\u2019s share price was $86.10; on
\nNovember 6 it had fallen to $84.60. However, in the absence of PPR\u2019s guarantee to acquire Gucci\u2019s shares at
\n$85.52, analysts estimated that Gucci would be trading at around
\n$74. The implication was that Gucci was
\nworth $1.2 billion less without De Sole and Ford than with them.
