Globalisation

Globalisation refers to the process of interaction and integration among the people, companies as well as governments of countries around the world, particularly in terms of trade, investment and technology. The process of globalisation, has profound impacts on the environment, culture, political systems, economic developments, prosperity and human physical well-being in the societies around the world.

The apparel store industry within the USA is a highly competitive market, consisting of number of companies that are willing to fight for their share of the market. To remain afloat in this business, corporations must be highly innovative, price-conscious, knowing the trend, and with great responses to consumer needs. Each company within this industry must be aware of the competitors’ move, trying to match every trends and benefits offered by another, in order to steal the average consumers. Market-alertness is the key to survival; each company must balance marketing strategies and customer-service, responding to consumer demands within the shortest processing time

When we think about offshore fashion production, our minds often do turn to sweatshops – cheap labor (often children and women) under dirty working conditions. And this is true; however, many consumers never give thought to this. All they see is fashion (or whatever the product is) with a cheaper price tag. They forget (or choose to ignore) incidents such as “the factory collapse in Bangladesh, which killed over 1,000 garment workers” (That Made in the USA Premium). It seems we are often willing to sacrifice quality and lives all in the name of mass production and saving a dime.

Globalisation is the process which business or other organization interact and integrate with the people, companies, and governments of the other countries. Globalisation can help a country by improving their economy welfare but at the same time. It has change the world by the effects on culture, and industry. With globalisation, most people life standard has improved by having cheaper and more choices products. Other than the increasing of life standard, local industry have been affected by the globalisation because there are more multinational firms moving into the nation which provide cheaper price for the local residents.

The constantly spinning wheel of the fashion industry is just as disturbing. Brands are progressively getting more and more inexpensive, but are at the same time compromising the quality of the goods. Say you buy a discounted shirt from Top Shop because it was just “such an amazing deal”, and the thread holding it together falls apart after a few weeks. How likely are you to sew it up and fix it yourself? I bet you’d repeatedly just go out and purchase another cheaply made top to replace the last one. Low-cost materials used to make clothing ensure consumers are wedged in a repetitive cycle of buying and

The clothing industry has become synonymous with sweatshops and overseas labour. The True Cost pushes for commercial change. Bringing an awareness to what “sweatshop” really

Every human across the world has the fundamental right to work in a safe and healthy environment. In the current global economy, developing countries have evolved as the major manufacturers and exporters for large apparel companies because of their low wages and unregulated labor. Due to global capitalism and economic competition, multinational companies seek lowest production costs to build their competitive advantage in the industry.

Also more and more clothing industries are moving overseas like in the New York Times article states “Today, most U.S. clothing companies manufacture their merchandise in countries like China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, where factory owners earn a fraction of what U.S. workers make”. Today, everybody buys excessive amount of clothes and shoes so companies need to keep up with the people who want their clothes fast like in the article High Price of Cheap Fashion says “ Fast Fashion is like fast food. You go in all the time for a quick, cheap fix”. These are the changes that have affected today's clothing

Globalisation is the growth and integration between the economies in different countries for movement of goods and services. Globalisation

The textile industry has undergone enormous change in the past ten years. Global trade in textiles was once regulated by high tariffs and a complex system of import quotes. Not anymore. Textiles used to be produced predominantly in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Not anymore. Textile mills used to dictate fashion, everything from fabric construction to fiber content. Not anymore.

To those who are not familiar with the processes within the fashion industry, this world of style is characterized by a peaceful coexistence between all the stakeholders. To those in the know however, this is far from the truth with the fashion industry. The value of the United Kingdom fashion industry is large contributing to about 20 billion pounds into the country’s economy on an annual basis. To have a better understanding, the contribution made by the fashion industry to the country’s Gross Domestic Product is almost twice that being brought in by car manufacturers which is valued at 10.1 billion so fashion is no doubt a major business and clothing designs one of the core assets. In considering this, it is therefore a surprise that businesses that are operating within this industry within this industry are not given the opportunity to do more to protect the designs that they have. This paper puts forward the assertion that based on the case law of J Choo(Jersey) Limited v Towerstone Limited and Others, the system of intellectual property protection available in United Kingdom law is not fit for use in the fashion industry in its present condition.

“Globality signifies a social condition characterized by tight global economic, political, cultural, and environmental interconnections and flows that make most of the currently existing borders and boundaries irrelevant” (Steger 2017: 10). This means that everywhere is connected. There are millions of trade routes that connect the different countries with each other. When trading things, they are not just trading commodities, they trade their values, languages, and non- materialistic items. “Globalization is a spiritual concept signifying a set of social processes that transform our present social condition of conventional nationality into one of globality” (Steger 2017: 12). Globalization makes the world connected. Without globalization,

Rivalry among existing competitors: The apparel industry is highly competitive with a great number of both local and global competitors. As the market is mature, its growth is small. Accelerated growth and expansion to new markets are not easy goals to achieve. The barrier to get out of the industry is quite low for distributors, but high for producers. Most fashion manufacturers moved their production base to low-cost countries like China as wage and raw materials in developed markets like Western Europe are high. Besides, there is no great discrepancy in terms of quality of products, so customers make their purchase choices based on price and brand recognition.

Globalisation can be defined as the movement toward economic, financial, trade, and communications integration by countries and their populations globally. It is a constant process and it has resulted in the intertwining and generalisation of the needs and wants of people

Supply chain managers for women 's fashions may be able to place the decoupling point closer to the factories if they take advantage of new technologies like the internet. Predictable yet smaller supplies could be sent to retailers while holding on to inventory neat the top of the supply chain. With proper marketing and shipping strategies, the clothing manufacturer could profit from the agile nature of the electronic marketplace, while saving money by leaning down the supply chain to retailers.
