L'uso emergente di forme contraffatte di marchi di lusso può portare i clienti a cambiare la loro percezione del marchio autentico. La contraffazione sta influenzando la maggior parte delle imprese nel settore della moda e del lusso e si stima che sia stimata intorno al 5-7% del commercio mondiale. Dal punto di vista della catena di approvvigionamento, la contraffazione è solo un pezzo di un fenomeno più esteso che è stato caratterizzato come "commercio illegittimo" che comprende infiltrazioni della catena di approvvigionamento, eccedenze di fabbrica, mercato grigio e parallelo, contraffazione di servizi al dettaglio e sollevamento di negozi. Le organizzazioni affrontano frequentemente questi problemi con metodi di misure legittime e isolate, senza prendere in considerazione il fatto che una prospettiva interdivisionale comprenda la catena di approvvigionamento, che le azioni tecnologiche e di marketing potrebbero essere più efficaci. L'obiettivo di questa proposta è introdurre eventi commerciali illegittimi in un punto di vista della catena di fornitura end-to-end, il metodo di ricerca di un caso è usato per convalidare l'ipotesi usando il modello LISC Legittima catena di fornitura illegale, comprendere quali sono gli eventi di scambio illegittimi più frequenti e il più dannoso per le aziende della moda e del lusso e quali tecniche possono essere le migliori per contrastarle. La revisione della letteratura viene presentata dal punto di vista della catena di approvvigionamento, considerando i diversi eventi incorporati in uno scambio illegittimo. Successivamente, vengono esaminati tre casi studio di aziende italiane legate all'industria della moda di lusso e la convalida dell'ipotesi attraverso il modello LISC. Questa indagine dimostra che gli eventi più frequenti sono la contraffazione pura, i tipi di mercato parallelo e grigio. Inoltre, possono esistere diversi tipi di commercio illegittimo insieme. Tuttavia, ognuno di essi richiede una strategia mirata. Questa prova induce implicazioni gestionali pertinenti in merito alla misurazione dell'effetto economico della contraffazione e alla necessità per le aziende di prepararsi con un approccio globale e un gruppo interdivisionale impegnato nello scambio e nella contraffazione illegittimi.

The objective of this proposal is to introduce illegitimate trade events in an end to end supply chain viewpoint, case study research method is used to validate the hypothesis using Legitimate Illegitimate Supply Chain LISC model, comprehend which of the illegitimate exchange events are the most frequent and the most detrimental to the fashion and luxury companies and which techniques can be the best in countering them.
