It then compares Surf Excel and Ariel on factors like target market, price, advertising campaigns, and media spend. Some key points identified are that Ariel targets lower socioeconomic groups despite its higher price, and its market share has remained stagnant despite similar ad spending to Surf Excel. The document proposes repositioning Ariel to target higher SEC groups by emphasizing its time-saving and quality cleaning benefits. It suggests updating Ariel's persona and celebrity endorser to reflect this new positioning.

Precarious work in the gap global value chainDanish Anwar
In March 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama made headlines by ceremoniously shopping at a Gap store on East 42nd and Third Avenue. Obama’s decision to visit the store followed an announcement by Gap that they would raise minimum wages for U.S. workers to USD 10 per hour by 2015. Gap’s decision to raise minimum hourly wages broke with U.S. retailers and business groups that urged lawmakers to maintain the federal minimum wage at USD 7.25 an hour (Banjo 2014).
This document summarizes a report on precarious work conditions in Gap's global supply chain. It outlines several labor organizations and NGOs working on labor issues in various Asian countries. It then discusses Gap's commitments to raising wages for US workers but not overseas. The document reports on exploitative conditions found in a Bangladeshi factory supplying Gap, including extreme overtime, low pay, and abuse. Gap is criticized for its voluntary approach to oversight rather than legally binding agreements. Several sections then delve into labor conditions in Gap's Cambodian, Indian and Indonesian supply chains, finding ongoing rights violations. The document concludes with recommendations for stronger ILO standards and enforcement to protect workers in global supply chains.

Bhattacharjee, precarious work in the h m global value chainDanish Anwar
On Thursday, December 10, 2015, 6000 garment
workers in Phnom Penh, Kampong Speu and
Kampong Som organized to protest employment
practices in global value chains headed by H&M
and other key international retailers. Supported
by the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers
Democratic Union (CCAWDU), Cambodian workers
sought fair wages and working conditions. In
India, garment workers from six factories that
produce for brands including H&M and Gap rallied
in solidarity.
The growth of global production networks (GPNs) within the garment industry provides employment in many countries, but typically under precarious conditions. This report contributes new research from interviews with 251 garment workers in Cambodia and India producing for H&M. While H&M has committed to ensuring fair wages and working conditions, the report finds ongoing issues including low wages, excessive hours, and poor conditions. The ILO has an important role to play in setting standards for all actors impacting labor rights in global supply chains.
This document discusses steps companies can take towards ensuring living wages in global supply chains. It outlines the key drivers of low wages as an unfair share of value in supply chains, lack of collective bargaining for workers, and inadequate minimum wages. The document provides examples of positive steps some companies have taken, such as wage increases, collective bargaining agreements, and certification standards requiring living wages. However, it argues more systemic change is still needed to achieve living wages at scale, including enabling workers' voices, increasing transparency, and influencing minimum wage policies.
Labour condition in the textile industris of bangladeshRupam Paul
This document discusses labor conditions in the textile industry of Bangladesh. It begins with an introduction to the history and growth of the textile and garment industry in Bangladesh. It then discusses several issues: poor working conditions like unsafe buildings; low wages that were increased in 2010 and 2013 but are still below living wages; discrimination against women; restrictions on unions and freedom of association; and use of child labor, which has significantly decreased due to government and buyer pressure. Forced labor also exists in some non-large companies through informal hiring practices and wage payment issues. The document concludes that there is an imbalance of power between workers, who have little bargaining power, and factory owners and the government, who are reluctant to engage in social dialogue

Precarious work in the walmart global value chainDanish Anwar
On April 24, 2013, the Rana Plaza, an eight-story
commercial building, collapsed in Savar subdistrict
in the Greater Area of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The Rana Plaza industrial factory fire that
killed 1,139 workers and injured 2,500 more is
considered the most serious fatal accident to have
occurred in a textile factory in modern history.
This document summarizes research on labor conditions in Walmart's supply chain factories in multiple countries. It includes interviews with 344 workers from Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, and an 8-month case study of an Indonesian factory employing 3,800 contract workers. The research was conducted by various labor organizations and NGOs between 2012-2016. It finds evidence of violations of international labor standards, including issues like excessive overtime, lack of proper contracts/documentation, and health and safety problems. The report aims to provide this data to the International Labour Organization (ILO) to inform their policies around regulating global supply chains and protecting vulnerable workers.
The text summarizes key information about the global textile industry:
1) The textile industry involves designing, manufacturing, and distributing textiles such as clothing and involves natural or artificial fibers formed into textiles through processes like weaving, knitting, and pressing.
2) Historically, the textile industry developed in the 19th century through the industrial revolution and mass clothing production but later faced issues with unsafe working conditions and low wages.
3) The textile industry remains an important global industry worth over $400 billion annually and is concentrated in certain areas but has increasingly moved production overseas through globalization and trade agreements.
What Factors Affect the Garments_Textile Industry in Bangladesh_FaizanFaizan Qaiyum
The document summarizes a research paper on the factors affecting exports of garments and the textile industry in Bangladesh. It finds that exchange rate has the largest impact, with a one percentage increase in the taka-US dollar exchange rate leading to a $281.05 million increase in ready-made garment exports. The Multi-Fiber Agreement was also found to significantly impact exports, though the direction of impact was unclear. Foreign direct investment was the only variable found to be insignificant. The paper concludes Bangladesh has great potential in the industry and will see continued growth in garment exports and demand.
This document discusses challenges and potential solutions regarding the fast fashion industry. It notes that fast fashion encourages high consumption, production and waste while also involving unethical labor conditions. It explores how trends may help reform the industry by increasing transparency, fairer prices and revising business models. Future business models discussed include life-cycle and incentive models to reduce waste and optimize resource usage. Increased traceability and transparency of supply chains is seen as key to propelling more conscious consumerism.

Garment industry sourcing model fundamentally flawed
1. Garment industry sourcing model fundamentally flawed |ISweek - Industry
sourcing
A new report from the Clean Clothes Campaign is further evidence that the garment
industry supply chain is unsustainable and unjust, no matter where it is in the world.
The report, ‘Stitched Up’, released 11 June, surveyed garment workers in Turkey and
Eastern Europe producing clothes for labels such as Hugo Boss, Adidas, Zara and H&M
in 10 different countries.
It found that garment workers in the area were subject to poverty wages, poor working
conditions and long working hours, mirroring the experiences of workers in other parts of
the world.
Some three million people are employed in the garment industry in Turkey, Georgia,
Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Moldova, Ukraine, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia and
Slovakia.
Jenny Holdcroft, policy director at IndustriALL Global Union, which represents garment
unions in the surveyed countries, said:
It comes as no surprise that workers in Turkey and Eastern Europe are subjected to
similar poor wages and working conditions as those in countries such as Bangladesh or
Cambodia. The sourcing model for the garment industry is based on paying the lowest
possible wages and so is fundamentally flawed. Made in Europe is not a guarantee of
better rights or wages for garment workers.
The survey found a considerable gap between the legal minimum wage and the
estimated minimum living wage in all the countries. The report said:
Jobs with such a tremendously low wage create poverty rather than fighting it.
A seamstress in Belarus spoke of working 0.45 Euro per hour embroidering blouses for
Zara for a contract that had been outsourced by a Greek agent. In some cases, workers
told of growing their own vegetables and doing a second job in order to survive. Others
complained of damage to their eyesight after sewing for long days without breaks.
The report also found that garment workers, the majority of whom are women, suffer
sexual harassment, discrimination in pay and treatment, and limited union representation.
A Croatian unionist stated that “unions do not have the opportunity to bargain for higher
wages since they have to constantly fight illegal practices such as long-term unpaid
overtime and unpaid social contributions or long-term unpaid wages.”
Holdcroft said:
2. “The report’s findings are a reflection of the endemic practices throughout the global
garment industry. Wages are squeezed through brand purchasing practices and
furthermore the absence of collective bargaining leads to a reliance on the legal minimum
wage, which is in many cases a poverty wage."
