WeaveTech, formally known as Johnson-Ware is a military and security apparel company entering into the high-end performance clothing market. Before the acquisition by CVX Partners, WeaveTech which was formed in 1905, relied exclusively on the military (70%) and security (30%) customer base. The need to change the company’s customer base from military and security to high-end performance clothing market apparently arose from the allure of the later market segment and the dwindling growth of the military and security market (Beer & Swiercz, 2015). The departure of Jack Davidson, a retired US Navy Rear Admiral, and WeaveTech CEO from 1983 to 2012 in addition to the conclusion of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars meant that the traditional market was losing its reliability. Due to the unreliability, there was a need to redesign the customer base and to take advantage of the high-end market segment.

The Indian textiles chart showed how India used machines to produce greater yarn and cloth amounts in 1914 as compared to the production in 1884. As well it demonstrated how the amount of people using machine made textiles had greatly increased opposed to hand made textiles (Doc 1). In 1916 Radhakamal Mukerjee, an Indian economist, explains how that handwoven textiles cannot keep up with the machine made textiles, and therefore is on a decline (Doc 6). This identifies how India is moving towards

* Procurement: As it is the second Europe’s cloth retailer company, for the production H&M uses a lot of material and workers so its mains recourses are material, labour and energy. That is why small changes in prices can affect the company’s profit a lot, and the fact that it does not own any manufactories causes some problems in controlling the production’s prices. However, not owning the factories can be an advantage in some cases. Indeed, if a problem appears, H&M can easily change its suppliers. Moreover, due to its huge size, H&M can easily manipulate with its suppliers to have the best quality at the lowest production’s price.

Japan and India were both far behind the West in terms of technological advancement. Japan tried to modernize itself under the Meiji Restoration and India under the control the British East India Company became dependent on Britain. During the period of 1880s to the 1930s, Japan and India both had a significant increase in the use of machines in the cotton industry and as a result, there was a rapid increase in production. The mechanization of the cotton industry in Japan and India mirrored each other in the sense that workers from both countries received low wages and poor working conditions, however, the two countries differed in the fact that in Japan the workforce was composed of mostly women, and in contrast, the workers in India were mostly males. Both Japan and India saw an increase machine-spun cotton yarn.

Almost 96% of plastic bags are disposed of in landfills (Williamson, 2003). This leads up to another problem as plastic bags are non-biodegradable - in other words, plastic bags do not biodegrade for over a thousand years (Stevens 2001). Plastic bags may also land in farms and in oceans which have an impact on the wildlife. Livestock such as cows may eat plastic bags while grazing. These pose a threat if ingested as they may tangle in their stomachs, causing serious injuries and potentially death (Dreyer et al, 1999; Rasmussen 1999). Each year over a billion birds and mammals die due to the ingestion of plastic bags (Baker, 2002).

The main issue the company faced is quality control issue impacting brand image. There is narrow focus in both consumer segments and product line.

Various heads of these departments alongside a board and an assigned president then made decisions for the organization thereby adding a ‘visible hand’ to the affairs of the organization leading the enterprise in a set direction. Another point to be taken under consideration here is that an industrial enterprise, in addition to the functional units, also expanded in other ways. There were defensive expansion trends i.e. horizontal or vertical expansion, and the offensive ones, i.e. geographical and product diversification. Further evolution in the industrial enterprise led to performance monitoring measures i.e. inclusion of a long-term and innovative corporate strategy with middle and the top management being the sole decision makers. However, with labor intensive industries i.e. printing or textiles, they don`t offer a competitive advantage for the integrated enterprises (Chandler & Montgomery 1979: 71). Therefore, in these cases, mass retailers tend to dominate with large purchasing units while eliminating other intermediaries.
