Whilst undertaking my MA in Fashion Entrepreneurship I worked in a bespoke footwear environment with the aim to provide comprehensive analysis of the business and the consumer; to further support my final research project:'Technology Vs. The Artisan' ........ Exploring the transformation of the bespoke footwear sector, defining elements of the production process (tangible and intangible) that influence consumer purchasing behaviour, and further establishing those which cannot be substituted by technology of the future. (How will technology affect consumer loyalty to this traditional craft, and what is the effect of ephemeralization to the existing artisan craft)This experience gave me a good appreciation of the competitive environment in which retail organisations operate, and equipped me with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful contribution to strategic decision making, and create value within organisations.
