Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Boston University, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify how Zara maintains its leadership through its specialization in quick fashion by analysing the internal and external industry environment by utilizing analytic tools, such as Porter’s 5 Forces and SWOT. This paper will also take a deeper look into the company's business model and marketing strategies. An in-depth case approach is adopted based on extensive secondary research that includes literature and press releases. In response to these findings, we suggest strategic recommendations by maintaining its status as a "quick fashion" pioneer, as well as dominating the emerging "ultra-fast fashion". Zara is the Spanish flagship store belonging to one of the world's biggest and most successful fashion apparel retailers, Inditex. The company is a multinational clothing company with thousands of in-store locations and an e-commerce presence.

Book Synopsis An analysis of market-orientated supply chain management in the retail fashion industry with particular reference to the case of Zara by : Carmen de la Cruz Iglesias

This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: A glance at today s financial pages shows the consequences of economic recession. More and more retailers, such as Woolworth and Montgomery Ward, have become bankrupt as they were no longer good enough to compete for a customer s business. Or how Ander and Stern describe it They fell into the Black Hole of Retailing, the place where losing retailers go to die . However, it has been widely acknowledged that an effective downstream-orientated supply chain, focused on cost reduction, can avoid this fate. Reduced costs lead to reduced prices and thus to satisfied customers. But that is only half the truth. There are other factors than stringent cost control that ensure business success. Supply chain management is not only about cost-efficiency rather than flexibility and adaptability. The faster a supply chain is able to respond to a market, the better the company s chances to achieve a competitive edge. A paradigm for a company that manages to combine these aspects and to align its vertically integrated supply chain to the demands of its customers is Europe s fastest expanding international fashion retail group Industria de Diseño Textil with its workhorse Zara. Its unique integrated business model permeates the whole organization and provides evidence that market orientation paired with an outstanding supply chain management can be viewed as a key factor for success. Aim and objectives: The aim of this report is to examine Zara s unique business model in relation to its market-orientated supply chain. In this framework certain questions are raised. For example, which elements of Zara s supply chain make it so unique? And related to this, how manages Zara to compete with other vertically integrated fashion retailers such as H&M and Benetton that use aggressive advertising to entice customers in their stores? Also, how does Zara integrate its market orientation in its supply chain? The present study will attempt to answer these and other questions. Research the success of Zara s market-orientated strategy as well as of its unconventional supply chain will help to figure out how they managed to become pioneer of fast fashion. To conclude, an outlook in Zara s future as well as the US market is provided.

Book Synopsis Your Strategy Needs a Strategy by : Martin Reeves
Download or read book Your Strategy Needs a Strategy written by Martin Reeves and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You think you have a winning strategy. But do you? Executives are bombarded with bestselling ideas and best practices for achieving competitive advantage, but many of these ideas and practices contradict each other. Should you aim to be big or fast? Should you create a blue ocean, be adaptive, play to win—or forget about a sustainable competitive advantage altogether? In a business environment that is changing faster and becoming more uncertain and complex almost by the day, it’s never been more important—or more difficult—to choose the right approach to strategy. In this book, The Boston Consulting Group’s Martin Reeves, Knut Haanæs, and Janmejaya Sinha offer a proven method to determine the strategy approach that is best for your company. They start by helping you assess your business environment—how unpredictable it is, how much power you have to change it, and how harsh it is—a critical component of getting strategy right. They show how existing strategy approaches sort into five categories—Be Big, Be Fast, Be First, Be the Orchestrator, or simply Be Viable—depending on the extent of predictability, malleability, and harshness. In-depth explanations of each of these approaches will provide critical insight to help you match your approach to strategy to your environment, determine when and how to execute each one, and avoid a potentially fatal mismatch. Addressing your most pressing strategic challenges, you’ll be able to answer questions such as: • What replaces planning when the annual cycle is obsolete? • When can we—and when should we—shape the game to our advantage? • How do we simultaneously implement different strategic approaches for different business units? • How do we manage the inherent contradictions in formulating and executing different strategies across multiple businesses and geographies? Until now, no book brings it all together and offers a practical tool for understanding which strategic approach to apply. Get started today.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: In the increasingly competitive and changing fashion retail market the two European fashion retailers Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) and ZARA have explored the market possibilities in different ways: Both companies have chosen unique and very opposite business models and growth strategies which had enabled them to expand quickly and successfully beyond its own borders. Whereas H&M focuses on outsourcing production, ZARA relies on controlling every step of the value chain. Whereas H&M follows an aggressive marketing and PR strategy, ZARA does virtually no advertising. But both companies known for their "fast fashion" dress fashionable people around the globe and compete for the title of the largest clothing retailer in Europe in a league of their own. Thus, two main questions arise: What makes both companies so successful and what are the fundamental differences and similarities in their business models? The following assignments starts with presenting the background and development of both companies and giving a short overview about the clothing retail industry. Chapter two explores the business models of H&M and ZARA in terms of the whole value chain. Based chapter two, the assignment ends with summarizing both business strategies to provide a reasonable answer to the key question: If you would have 100 euro to invest, in which company would you invest in: H&M or ZARA?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 80.00/100.00, University of Strathclyde (Strathclyde Business School), course: Performance Measurement & Management, language: English, abstract: In 2001, CNN euphorically described Zara as “a Spanish success story” (CNN, 2001). Thirteen years later, Tobias Buck of The Financial Times called the Spanish fashion brand “one of the most striking corporate success stories of recent years” (Buck, 2014). Having started as a small fashion store in A Coruña, Zara is now the flagship brand of Inditex, the biggest fashion retailer in the world. However, Zara’s success is not cast in stone. Simon Irvin of Credit Suisse, criticising Inditex’s recently lacklustre financial performance, noted that business models were not likely to remain brilliant forever, and that Zara’s parent company were no exception to the rule (Buck, 2014). Having said that, numerous attempts have been made by competitors to copy Zara’s successful business model and thereby eliminate the firm’s competitive advantage. For instance, C&A purposefully hired away Inditex managers (The Economist, 2012), while Mango outpaced Zara in terms of sales in Spain, Zara’s home market, by copying Zara’s approach to manufacture the majority of its garments in nearby countries, as well as its product offering (Baigorri, 2013). In light of these developments, it is essential for Zara to measure its performance timely and carefully, and identify ways in which the firm’s future performance, against the background of its business model, may be improved. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is the right tool to achieve this, as it translates a firm’s strategic objectives and competitive demands into a coherent set of performance measures (Kaplan & Norton, 1993a). In particular, the BSC complements financial performance measures, usually reflecting past performance, with operational measures in the areas of customer satisfaction, internal processes, and a firm’s innovation and improvement activities, all of which can be said to be drivers of future performance (Kaplan & Norton, 1992).
Book Synopsis Sustainable strategies in the fashion industry. Sustainability and the brand Zara by : Ahmet Fejzulahi

This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,3, EBC University Düsseldorf, course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: To what extent can corporate success in the fast-moving fashion industry be sustainably optimised and secured in the long term? In order to get to the bottom of this question, data and facts from leading companies as well as studies of various modern media platforms were listed and analysed, with a focus on the probably largest platform, the Internet. In order to illustrate these aspects concretely, this article refers to the example of the Spanish fashion brand Zara. The result makes it clear that there are companies or designers who follow or strictly counteract the concept of sustainability with the help of various sustainability strategies. The aim is to demonstrate a conscious and sustainable fashion production process and to appeal to the moral responsibility of fashion companies in view of the worldly scarcity of resources. The consumption of limitless fashion has become an integral part of global society. Prescribed garments in the early modern period of the Middle Ages are today only history. Accordingly, people of all kinds identify globally with fashionable clothing. What can be worn in Japan today can be worn in England or Italy at the same time. But this was not always the case. Trade and communication have al-ways been subject to political aspects. Due to the current networking of all countries, the exchange of information or goods on an international level is part of everyday life. Globalisation is the increasing interstate dependence in all areas of human life. This applies not only to the economy, but also to culture and politics. One particular industry is the fashion industry, which is in constant conflict with itself. Globalisation and sustainability are two terms that are always in focus in the fashion world. When we talk about sustainability in fashion, a fundamental distinction must be made between whether it is influenced by design and consumers or whether it is related to the ecological balance.

I will also demonstrate an understanding of the role of management throughout different companies across changing industry modes by using relevant models to analyse the external environment and the role of information systems and technology in a logistics and transport environment industry modes.

Book excerpt: How to close the gap between strategy and execution Two-thirds of executives say their organizations don’t have the capabilities to support their strategy. In Strategy That Works, Paul Leinwand and Cesare Mainardi explain why. They identify conventional business practices that unintentionally create a gap between strategy and execution.

Based on new research, the authors reveal five practices for connecting strategy and execution used by highly successful enterprises such as IKEA, Natura, Danaher, Haier, and Lego. These companies: • Commit to what they do best instead of chasing multiple opportunities • Build their own unique winning capabilities instead of copying others • Put their culture to work instead of struggling to change it • Invest where it matters instead of going lean across the board • Shape the future instead of reacting to it Packed with tools you can use for building these five practices into your organization and supported by in-depth profiles of companies that are known for making their strategy work, this is your guide for reconnecting strategy to execution.
