Бенеттон. Семья, бизнес и бренд

by Jonathan Mantle, Джонатан Мэнтл

Книга посвящена истории становления семейного бизнеса Бенеттонов. Повествование разворачивается по трем главным сюжетным линиям. Во-первых, это история семейства Бенеттонов, где основное внимание уделяется личности Лучано Бенеттона. Во-вторых, это история бизнеса, начавшегося с нескольких свитеров, связанных вручную, до империи сегодняшних дней с восемью тысячами магазинов в ста двадцати странах. В-третьих, это история создания бренда "Бенеттон" при участии известного фотографа Оливьеро Тоскани с его эпатирующими образами, использованными для рекламных кампаний. Отдельное место в книге отведено истории команды "Бенеттон Формула-1".

Бенеттоны до выхода этой книги очень жестко контролировали информацию о себе, и Мэнтл был первым "чужаком", пробившимся сквозь "семейный" барьер, что делает книгу особо интересной. Книга рассчитана на широкий крут читателей, она может представлять интерес для тех, кто профессионально занимается вопросами рекламы и бренда, а также для поклонников "Формулы-1".

Not greatly detailed stories but adequately captured how a family went from having nothing to eat to multinational company with power, finance, and fame.
In exchange to the enormous success were loneliness, childhood being given up, family, lovers, friends being taken.

This is the price for "success".
Humans have unlimited wants and as humans gain power, fame, humans turn greedy and
Humans keep following the old path of defining 'success'.

Lessons to learn as in the future, I want to drive my family business to a greater ""success"" and meanings toward community and people.

BENETTON is a the story of an extraordinary family and the business they have built from humble to a skillfully orchestrated world wide phenomenon.
Jonathan Mantle explores the dark side of the United Colors of Benetton and is the first outsider to cross the barrier of Benetton’s strict control of information about itself.

This is barely a book at less than a 100 pages, and it is horribly written. Work book I have ever read, honestly.

Q15
BENETTON was built by the Benenttons. The family was very poor and they lost their father when whey were young. The children had to work and can not continual their study. They worked in the factory and fabric store and that is the reason that they got ideas to open an new career. At that time, most of the cloths were dark colors and they tried to use colorful color to made their cloths and it became very popular. The career became very successful and also have their brand in the U.S.

Q13
Compare to the Benetton, I'm very lucky that I have my family and I can go abroad for study. If I want to make my real life become more like the world of the story, I think I should figure out what my potential is and try my best to make it more valuable. As I am the student now, study hard and get something back after study.

BENETTON is the most successful and controversial family business in the world. The company achieved recognition through their colorful designs, but it also captured the attention of the public eye for their controversial advertising campaigns such as the nun kissing a Catholic priest.
Greenpeace praises Benetton as the precursor of other successful family-owned textile companies such as Zara and H&M and all three of them for “leading the industry toward a toxic-free future with credible timelines, concrete actions, and on-the-ground implementation”.
