...McClureRandy Milton | | | | | | | Bangladesh’s Textile Industry Theoretically, free trade eliminates imposed governmental barriers to international trade. Expressively, free trade is a Pandora box of confusing issues addressing basic rights, international fiscal development, ecological principles and global employment formations (Chmielewski and Media, 2016). Chmielewski and Media (2016) implied that free trade was the best thing that could happen to Bangladesh’s textile industry. Free trade is an attempt to improve the international economy on the principle of “comparative advantage”. Bangladesh prospered by using their abundance of textile to trade for products that other countries have abundance. The main purpose of the “free trade” was to improve the global economy using the principle of “comparative advantage”. The shift to a free trade regime in the textile industry was good for Bangladesh’s employment and economic growth. Initially, textile products were exported through a preferential quota system from poor markets to rich markets but the shift accounted for lower labor cost, support from other industries, and increased business with western importers. Labor costs decreased to a level lower than China. Lower labor cost was due to low hourly wages and the use of technology. The use of technology increased productivity which allowed consumers to buy more for less money. Importers brought more textiles for less money during the recession. Free trade provided opportunities...

...WEDNESDAY, 15 JULY 2009 India’s Cotton & Textile Industry: Main Points v India’s textile and clothing industry contributes 4% per cent to Gross Domestic Product, 14 per cent in industrial production and 12 per cent in export earnings. v It is the second largest industry providing employment after agriculture. It provides employment to around 35 million people. v First Cotton Mills: The first Indian cotton cloth mill was established in 1818 at Fort Gloaster near Kolkata, albeit this mill was a failure. The second mill which was established by KGN Daber in 1854 is called the true foundation of modern cotton industry in India. Its name was Bombay Spinning and weaving Company, Bombay. v Bad Effects of Partition: Partition of India in 1947 affected Indian cotton industry badly. Most of the weavers who were Muslims migrated to Pakistan. There were 394 cotton mills in India before partition, out of this 14 mills went to Pakistan. Remaining 380 mills which were left in India. However 40 % cotton producing area became area of Pakistan. Thus India was forced to import raw cotton to keep the mills alive. v Development Starts: Till the year 1985, development of textile sector in India took place in terms of general policies.

...Principles of Management Term Paper ON “The History of Textile Industry in Bangladesh” Submitted to: MD. Rehan Masoom Course: Principles of Management Course code: MNG1203 Submitted by: Atqiya Mahila Trisha; ID-121113006 Syeda Tasneem Humayra; ID-121113008 Rajoshi Jahangir (Rajoshi); ID-121113007 Sirajum Munira; ID-121113001 Sec: A History of Textile industry in Bangladesh Introduction While agriculture for domestic consumption is Bangladesh’s largest employment sector, the money gained from exporting textiles is the single greatest source of economic growth in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Textile Industry has a long history of many centuries and has been seen as the part of an economy of undivided India and later on of Pakistan. It was only after the liberation of Bangladesh that the Textile Industry had to be considered independently to meet the needs of the large population. Until 1990s the Textile Industry was basically meeting the local needs. Following the increase in the export of readymade garment industry, the textile industry started catering to the export market in the 1990s. The Government Policy in Bangladesh always favored the backward linkage industry. However, the most dynamic policy was the announcement of Textile policy in 1992-1994 when textile was declared as a Thrust Sector and an alternative cash assistance of 25% given to garments exported using local fabric to compensate for the benefit/advantage and subsidies given by other countries...

...Identification The export-oriented readymade garments segment of the Textile & Clothing industry in Bangladesh enjoyed a gigantic growth rate in terms of foreign trade for last one and half decade. Bangladesh economy is highly dependent on the export of ready-made garments. Currently more than 6000 RMG units are operating in the country. But the concern for the T&C industry is that about 70% of the fabric requirement is fulfilled by imports. Hardly will you find apparels manufacturers who have their own capacity of producing fabrics. Large-scale producers of fabrics are as well very few in numbers. It is a severe problem for the industry so that after 2004 the global T&C market has been absolutely opened. Quota provisions for LDCs has void. Reasonably the world market will become extremely competitive and low-cost producers will be succeeded. Bangladeshi apparels producers will possibly lose lots of suppliers as because in the quota-free world they would find manufacturing RMG more profitable. So it is a high time for the T&C industry. BEXTEX Limited, the leading textile company in the country is very much willing to take the challenge of global competition. BTL promotes its products directly to the foreign importer of RMG. The company perceives the RMG manufacturing units just as channels to reach the customers. But, it is also valid that BTL has got interests in the well-running of the RMG wing of the Bangladesh industry. All these issues strongly recommend that before confronting...

...One of the most consistent patterns in business is the failure of leading companies to stay at the top of their industries when technologies or markets change, especially in emerging markets. What may work in the United States, may not necessarily work as well in other countries. Many companies invest aggressively in the technologies necessary to attract and retain their current customers but sometimes fail to ensure other investments are made to keep up or keep ahead with future demand. Taking a look at Novozymes and their success, they seemed to be doing everything right. They were the leading global provider in enzymes for industries such as household care, textiles, and goods and beverages. The company met its sales growth goal, increased its sales each year, and acquired a pretty large percentage of the market share (Palepu & Misztal, 2012). Being a premium player in detergents and food, they focused on technological innovation to stay successful. Additionally, Novozymes was producing very dependable and consistent products which kept them prominent in Chinas high tech enzyme market. But was this good enough? Novozyme also commoditized in sectors with fierce price competition such as textiles and brewing which threatened them by the low-cost Chinese rivals (Palepu & Misztal, 2012). Novozymes produced high quality goods but couldn’t keep up with the local players that were gaining scale with low-end market segments. Not only were these products more cost appealing, the...

...manufacturing companies have taken the strategic decision to move to higher quality or specification products, which command a price premium in the market, with a hopeful corresponding impact on margins. The UK Textiles Industry is no exception to this trend and many companies that were unable to diversify, or had niche markets that proved unsustainable, have been taken over or ceased trading with the loss of many job opportunities. The Textiles Industry is important to the Scottish economy. It employs 22,000 people and with an output of £1.2 billion contributes £500 million to the country’s manufactured exports. The Scottish Borders is heavily dependent on this industry and in particular knitwear, which employs around 4,000 people. Recognising the sensitivity of the knitting and weaving sectors to the economy in the Scottish Borders, and following the successful action against the punitive import duties proposed by the USA government arising from the ‘Banana War’ incident, Scottish Enterprise Borders secured public sector funding from Scottish Enterprise and ultimately the EU, to establish a support mechanism for the industry. The Cashmere Made in Scotland Promotion began operation in 1997 and was aimed at encouraging manufacturers to move more heavily into the high value cashmere market. The promotion was geared to...

...Abstract This paper examines the impact of NAFTA on trade as well as migration flows between Mexico, Canada, and the United States in the textile industry. Several questions are being investigated: Why did many textile jobs apparently migrate out of the United States in the years after the establishment of NAFTA? Who gained and lost from the process of readjustment in the textile industry after NAFTA? The act whether to protect or not to protect the textile industry when a free trade agreements? The findings show that the migration of many textile jobs out, mostly Mexico was mainly due to a cheaper and enhanced plants included with a flood of cheap labour compared to the United States. Certain quarters like the people of Mexico, people of the United States, apparel companies, and etc both benefits and lost at the same time. The impact on long-term trends were noticeable, while the short-run impact is more difficult to assess due to competing factors such as changes in business cycle patterns, immigration laws, economical climate, weather conditions, and exchange rate movements. Finally, there is the idea that protecting the textile industry from painful free trade agreement is not a perfect solution, bringing a solid and positive outcome to many with only a little much to sacrifice for the betterment of the countries’ wealth and dependency. Introduction The first major international trade agreement in the world was the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) formed in...
