How
the Global Chain of Production works (roll over the icons to find out)
Unlike other industries, the global chain of production for clothing companies
has to remain flexible because they have to keep reinventing themselves
to keep up with the latest fashion trends. The more open world trading system
enables The Gap to choose different factories where products are made according
to the new demands of its fashion conscious customers. This means that while
some factories gain new business, others may lose out. Therefore changes
in our taste in clothes can indirectly threaten the jobs of poorer people
in other countries.
