luxury brand management

K

hey guys I wanted to know which schools in USA offer an MBA in Luxury Brand Management. I was not able to find this out. Can anybody help me out with this?....My main goal is a dual MBA in luxury brand management & international marketing. Please guys can lend me some info about all this....

Beware Millenium City Academy, London Graduate School of Management. It offers Luxury Brand Management. From experience lecturing there, I advise against the college (it is linked to PGSM (France) , IPMA (UK) and a gentlemen called Satar Bawany. Bawany has a "PhD" from Preston (once of Cheyenne, Wyomomg, USA. Now of Alabama, USA).

MCA, LGSM, PGSM, Bawany and Preston (USA) should be avoided. If you are in Singapore area, you may come across Freely and Clemen Chiang. Give them a miss.

I worked there for a while. I became clear it was "unusual". Their degrees are awarded by PGSM which is linked to Satar Bawany. Bawany lists a Ph.D from Preston, Cheyenne, USA.That is bogus. PGSM is associated with many bogus organisations. Some of the other associations I mentioned are well known to be "shady". There are many colleges operating in London that should be avoided. If the degrees are not awarded by a government registered university, check carefully. It is likely to be bogus...worthless. However, there are some ligitimate American colleges/universities operating in London.

Check:

For UK

For USA programs

Even some of the legitimate UK MBA prog's are questionable; some institutions seem to me to be acting as accrediting agencies for many private colleges as a means of exploiting foreign students (who for some reason still think we are very honourable people). I recently worked for a college offering MBA/BBA legally accredited by a very old very small college somewhere in Wales. Standards were very low (compared to standards I know from other institutions in USA and UK). BEWARE, people want your money.
