Innovation, Network Orchestration and Marketing!
EDITORIAL Volume 6, Issue 1 – Spring, 2009 Navigating a Strategic Course - Innovation, Network Orchestration and Marketing! Nancy L. Cassill Department Head and Professor Department of Textile and Apparel, Technology and Management College of Textiles North Carolina State University [email protected] Welcome to this issue of the Journal of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management (JTATM). As we enter our ninth year of existence, we are continuing to update and change our Journal to respond to the large global audience of readership. One recent innovation to the Journal is the appointment of a new JTATM Managing Editor – Prof. Moon Suh. A noted global scholar, Dr. Suh will provide continued leadership to JTATM as we provide timely research and information of value to our global readership. A second innovation is the additional of an online automated process for article submission – to assist with timely submission and review. Please share this Journal with others and invite them to be part of our efforts to expand our global networking among industry, government and academic communities. A recent article in the Harvard Business Review (“Tapping the World’s Innovation Hot Spots”) addresses the fact that as innovation capability continues to globalize, networks are becoming increasingly important. Fung, Fung and Wind in their 2008 publication (“Competing in a Flat World”) stress the importance of network orchestration in this ever changing global textile complex. Yet another article stresses the importance of innovation and marketing. These two together form a potent package in good times but must be used as the power tools in tough times! Can the academic community be insulated from these key issues that are impacting the global economy and marketplace? Absolutely Not! In the academic world, we also should be proactively involved in network orchestration with various people and organizations globally.

College of Art and Design Department of Textile and Clothing Design Tel : +82 31 201 2053 Fax : +82 31 204 8127 Email : [email protected] URL : http://tc.khu.ac.kr What is Textile and Clothing Design? Textile design includes printing textile design, weaving design, yarn dyed or plain dyed design, knit, and embroidery for apparel and home fashion markets. Nowadays, CAD systems are helpful in both appa\rel and textile designs. We consider three elements to be important in the students’ education: knowledge of consumers, fabrication, and aesthetics such as design, color and decoration to create successful commercial garments. The major in textile and clothing design offers qualified students the opportunity to prepare for careers in fabrics, fashion, home furnishings and related industries as a designer, colorist, stylist, or studio director, as well as free lance entrepreneur, converter, or quality control representative. Textile and Clothing Design at Kyung Hee Established in 1999, the major in Textile & Clothing Design provides practical education in the textile design and fashion design areas. Textile Design students learn the basics of designing fabric including stripes, plaids, geometric, flowers and other patterns while exploring color and technique. To enhance textile design skills, several courses oriented toward surface printing design, hand painting, dye & dyeing, etc. will be offered. Also there are fashion-related courses such as the principle of fashion design, fashion studio dealing with clothing construction, fashion illustration, and draping. Since students will be able to further their design skills through a greater understanding of textile materials and use of the latest technology, they will obtain knowledge of physical and chemical properties of textiles through textile finishing, textile material, apparel production processing, and quality control courses.

Does Management Matter? Evidence from India*
DOES MANAGEMENT MATTER? EVIDENCE FROM INDIA* Nicholas Bloom Benn Eifert Aprajit Mahajan David McKenzie John Roberts Downloaded from A long-standing question is whether differences in management practices across firms can explain differences in productivity, especially in developing countries where these spreads appear particularly large. To investigate this, we ran a management field experiment on large Indian textile firms. We pro- vided free consulting on management practices to randomly chosen treatment http://qje.oxfordjournals.org/ plants and compared their performance to a set of control plants. We find that adopting these management practices raised productivity by 17% in the first year through improved quality and efficiency and reduced inventory, and within three years led to the opening of more production plants. Why had the firms not adopted these profitable practices previously? Our results suggest that informational barriers were the primary factor explaining this lack of adoption. Also, because reallocation across firms appeared to be constrained by limits on managerial time, competition had not forced badly managed firms to exit. JEL Codes: L2, M2, O14, O32, O33. at University of California, Los Angeles on January 15, 2013 I. INTRODUCTION Economists have long puzzled over why there are such astounding differences in productivity across both firms and countries.

Fashion and Textile Management
Fashion and Textile Management Transfer Requirements ✓ English Composition ✓ Calculus (MA 131 or MA 141) ✓ Chemistry (CH 101/102) ✓ GPA requirement: 2.8+ The most competitive applicants will have completed both Chemistry and Calculus, however, a student who has completed at least one of these will still be considered. Please Note: Statistics cannot be used to meet the Math requirement. Transfer Admission Review Process NC State Undergraduate Admissions employs a holistic approach in reviewing transfer students’ applications and considers a range of accomplishments and qualifications. While competitive transfer applicants must meet the following, these alone do not guarantee admission: ● Strong cumulative GPA for all transferable college work previously attempted ● 30 semester hours (or 45 quarter hours) of transferable credits (Qualifying AP scores can be used to meet transfer admission coursework requirements.) ● Eligibility to return to each institution previously attended ● UNC-system Minimum Course Requirements, if under 21 years old or have less than 24 transferable hours at the time of the application ● Attempted coursework through NC State University’s Non-Degree Studies Program (NDS) must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 or higher in order to be considered for admission GPAs are calculated based on all transferable-types of courses attempted. Courses repeated at previous institutions are calculated with the original grades earned. We will exclude the two lowest grades below a C- when calculating the overall cumulative GPA from all transferable coursework attempted outside of NC State University. Please note: Students taking college-level courses while in high school (dual enrollment), including early college high schools, are freshman applicants for admission purposes.

2.4 Planning and Scheduling Systems
ABSTRACT WAGONER, APRIL GAIL. Plant Floor Scheduling Systems in a Lean Environment. (Under the direction of Dr. George Hodge and Dr. Kristin Thoney.) The objective of this study was to determine how companies in the US textile industry are using lean manufacturing practices in their planning and scheduling systems. The study uses primary and secondary data sources to explore the utilization of lean techniques in manual or automated planning and scheduling systems. In addition to a literature review, ten open ended in-person interviews with textile industry executives and three in-depth case studies were used to gather data. The case studies were conducted to further explore whether or not the use of lean principles can be applied to planning and scheduling systems in specific textile operations. Many textile companies are interested in implementing lean scheduling systems for the plant floor but have not quite come to that point in their lean transformation. This study will provide examples, identify barriers and suggest solutions to the barriers for those companies who are on the path forward to implementation of lean planning and scheduling systems. Textile companies who are already using lean practices in their planning and scheduling systems are seeing improvements through reduced finished goods and work-in- process inventory, as well as less time and effort required by the production planners and schedulers to schedule the plant floor. A directory of planning and scheduling software that can handle lean concepts and is applicable to the textile industry was compiled as part of this research.
