Description

Going Global, Fifth Edition, provides current, complex global supply chain and sourcing systems in this ever-changing political, social, and economic landscape and illuminates how these developments influence the intercontinental marketplace. This new edition encompasses the international sphere of manufacturing and distribution in the textile and apparel industry. A comprehensive framework helps students to better understand the textile and apparel industries, trade, and markets worldwide. Thoughtfully organized, this book examines the market in three sections: Embarking on a Global Adventure, The Global Supply Chain, and Trading Partners. This systematic approach aids understanding the international markets, examines up-to-date intercontinental rules and regulations, and focuses on different countries integral to the apparel industries.
In this new edition, readers embark on a journey to better understand the role of globalization and its part in certain regions and marketplaces. Textiles and apparel students learn about crucial factors that affect the industry with a focus on transnational legalities.
