The distinguished panel will speak
about the evolution of global sourcing
from a region- or country-centric
orientation to multiple-countries of
origin and distribution as influenced
by the emergence of new growth markets,
the necessity to diversify
portfolios, the innovation of transportation and
communication, as well as the establishment of free
trade agreements, security procedures, and product
safety measures. In view of the savvier customers
around the world, brands are having
to be smarter about addressing the
nuances, such as fabric, finish, fit,
and functionality, that the design,
merchandising, and sourcing teams
have to keep in check in order to implement
a successful global business model.
