Background

The Multifibre Agreement was developed in 1974 and governed the world’s textile sector until 2004 when it was phased-out. The accord inflicted quotas on the amount developing countries could export to the developed world.

The existence of the agreement allowed the Bangladesh textile industry to flourish in the 20th century and early 21st century. It was highly expected that the phase-out of the MFA would greatly affect Bangladesh negatively as the country was highly dependent on ...

Companies should inflict western values and their own corporate values in countries where they outsourced their production, because they are a part of complex interconnected production network. It would be unfair to divide people by their nationality and citizenship and apply different standards according to the geographic location and place in the value chain. At the same time, it is clear that Nike and other global companies cannot apply similar business practices in developed and developing countries due to differences in business culture, level of economic and social development, etc. Therefore, companies should strive for corporate social responsibility, which ...

The Economics of $6.75 T-Shirt

Question 1. The market reality of garment industry in Bangladesh is extremely hard – prices for production are so low that do not cover even a life-needed level of wages. Moreover, this situation (wages under life-needed level) is widespread all over the country. And the reason of this is that the level of demand for this type of products is much lower than supply. In fact, nearly 20 million people in Bangladesh are connected to garment industry, which makes it one of the key industries in country’s economy. Such a huge supply leads to lower prices of products they ...

In his article, Cyril Aldred claims that in the ...

The goal of this essay is to provide artwork analysis of three contemporary paintings such as Whitney’s Cold Moon Dancer, Sheehan’s I Never Planned to Have You Here, and Dugas’ Wake. These three works of art exemplifies the influences of modernism due to the fact that artists explored different artistic styles in order to portray their subjects from a different perspective. From that point, the resulting paintings were brave, bolder, and revolutionary in a sense that these works broke the traditional art forms of either ‘humanizing’ or illustrating realistic and religious figures. For instance, Whitney’s Cold ...

Workers gained benefits from the formation of unions including pay, pensions, and healthcare, as well as grievance processes and holiday pay.

In an era when emojis have become words, 140-character tweets have become essays, and pictures have become stories, it is easier than ever before for an object to take on stereotypical symbolism. Despite the fact that we have more access to information than we have ever had at any earlier point in human history, the sheer amount of the information is overwhelming, particularly because so much comes at us at one time. So we have less time to give to each incoming stimulus, and it is easier for objects to take on stereotypical meaning. One object that has taken ...

Manufacturing exports in Pakistan has been given a lot of importance since 1960s with export bonus scheme introduced to give boost to export.

As a result, the exports lagged behind other Asian countries in 1980s, when it was well ahead in 1960s. The 1960 to 1990 period ...

The Effects of Post-Modernism on the ‘Raced Bodies’

Post-Modernism is the counterpart of the modernist ideals both in the philosophy and aesthetic preferences. Modernism existed before the beginning of the Second World War and this period primarily focused on the preservation of one’s culture through rejection of outside influences that might alter the cultural values. For instance, Sandler argued that there is a greater contrast between post-modernism and modernism in a sense that can be viewed from a philosophical point-of-view and aesthetic tastes. “Post-modernism has rejected modernism’s purity and has instead welcomed impurity” (Sandler 1980, p. 346). Another scholar named Irvine (2004/2014) also supported this ...

Cimabue's Madonna Enthroned is often linked to his stay in Pisa from 1301 to 1302. The elements of the artwork confirm the investigations and aspirations of how the artist encouraged the rebirth of painting in Italy. He demonstrated an innovative sensibility that brings the artwork closer to reality (The Madonna and Child in Majesty Surrounded by Angels 2015). The purpose of this study is to examine Cimabue's Madonna Enthroned and how the outstanding painter reawakened the spatial ...

IT Strategy and Nolan’s Growth Stage Model

Current IT Strategy: Although running in a basic POS, Zara’s IT infrastructure had been working seamlessly with no problem whatsoever that its IT staff cannot fix without seeking Inditex’s technical intervention (McAfee, Dessain, and Sjoman, 2007, pp. 2-3). It has accomplished its original business model of linking customer demand to manufacturing and then manufacturing to distribution. However, it is just that, a basic POS, with no other functionalities to boast for except for its unchallenged stability so far. Thus, in Sanchez’s opinion, if the POS is unbroken, why fix it?
