Impact of China on Indian Garment Industry
by
Aditya Marwaha
A dissertation presented in part consideration for the degree of
MA Marketing
The University of Nottingham
2008Abstract
To survive and succeed in garment manufacturing business in today’s era of globalisation and
increasing competition, it is important for firms to analyse the environment in which it is
working. With cutting margins between the cost and the selling price, firms have to make
efforts to decrease their cost. Therefore, various factors, in the form of theories, affecting the
success of a firm and the cost of a product are critically evaluated during the literature
review. The theories are global competition; strategic management; PEST analysis; five
competitor force model; and resource based view. The interviews of garment manufactures
were gained so as to get an insider view of this industry and gain the practical side with their
relation to the theories. Integration of China in the global economy is one of the most
significant developments that is affecting the structure and evolution of the global system.
This research mentions what factors is China ahead of India in the garment industry. A
comparison will be made with the garment industry in China, as they are the biggest
competitor. This industry in India needs to be improved, and for this, various
recommendations are outlined which would help enhance the competitive position of the
Indian garment industry in the period of global competition.Acknowledgement
Before I begin, I would like to thank few people who have supported and guided me
throughout my dissertation. Firstly, I would like to thank my mom, dad and my elder brother
Karan for suggesting me to do research on this topic. It was a great experience for me to
know better about this industry before getting involved into this business. Without your
constant help and support, it would not have been possible for me to complete this research
effectively. Secondly, I would like to thank my Supervisor, Ms. Mona Moufahim, who made
me believe that she was always there to help for my dissertation. Her constant reminders
asking about the updates of my work, fast replies to my e-mails, and also providing detail
suggestions and comments about my work provided me a great vigour. I can never forget the
incident when she had to leave the city for a conference. As I couldn’t meet her early on that
day due to some reason, she met me just before leaving the city to help me with my
dissertation. She brought her luggage in her office and left directly to catch the train. Her
interest and faith in my work and in my efforts eventually motivated me more to complete
this research. Thirdly, I would like to thank my friend Hari, for rendering a helping hand in
the final phase of my dissertation.Table of Contents
