This research aims at studying Italian fashion companies to evaluate managerial and organizational models that can support business development. 16 in-depth case studies have been conducted and then a survey has been run to assess case study findings. Research provides fresh knowledge on fashion industry “successful” business models, by revealing the existence of different clusters of firms that have found alternative ways to compete in the new global context.
