Description
Taking a firm perspective that focuses on managers, employees, foreign retailers, and institutional actors, our book aims to integrate three different, but interrelated THEMES: (a) internationalization of firms, (b) firms’ capability development, and (b) the sustainability of suppliers’ production, process, and products.
The apparel industry plays a pivotal role in ‘developing economies’ in terms of revenue generation and employment. We focus on firms from developing countries / emerging economies. Some common questions that our book plans to cover are: (1) how do apparel-manufacturing companies in developing countries internationalize, or why cannot they internationalize at a higher level, meaning what factors impede their advancement in internationalization process? (2) How do supplier firms develop different types of capabilities and what factors and conditions influence the development of their capabilities? (3) How do firms ensure sustainability in the apparel industry and what factors affect sustainable product and production in the apparel industry, which may include not only firm factors but also local and global institutional factors, technological factors, changing market demands, labour conditions, and discourses as well as foreign retailers’ governance and compliance factors.
The aim of this book is to combine multiple disciplinary perspectives, ranging from operations management, socio-economics, economic geography and business management, to reflect the reality of global apparel industry from various theoretical lenses.
