Abstract

The case "Chow Tai Fook: A Chinese Jewellery Giant Changing Tactics" talks about the change in tactics adopted by the world's largest publicly traded jewelry chain, the China-based Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Limited (CTF) in response to the changing economic conditions in China. The case starts out by describing CTF's early days in Hong Kong and the business practices it followed to revolutionize the jewelry industry there. It then documents CTF’s meteoric rise in China, which the company entered in the days following the economic boom in the country in the 1990s. Later, the case describes in detail the strategy undertaken by CTF to combat the poor economic scenario in China in the 2010s. The company not only changed its retail strategy, but also adopted a multi-brand strategy to serve newer customer segments. The case then describes how CTF leveraged technology to improve its offerings. It also takes a look at the competition faced by CTF and the measures it was taking to emerge as a global jewelry brand.
