520 This book focuses on Iran to explore the question of how
the nature of industrial organizations and the whole
system they constitute can exert a great influence on an
industry's competitiveness and resilience. The author
examines what happens if firms and companies participating
in the manufacturing and distribution process of a certain
product are not organized to a high degree and operate
independently. The book begins with an inquiry into the
historical environment of Iran's apparel industry, which
has never been stable. It then reveals the specific
practices that enable firms to maintain their independent
business, and argues that the elastic state of the
production and distribution system has worked for the
survival of self-reliant member firms. The typical Iranian
apparel firm persists in maintaining independent
operations regardless of its size, a practice that is
inimical to the development of long-lasting business
relations with other firms as well as to vertical
integration between firms, in all stages from production
to distribution. A distinguishing feature of Iran's
apparel industry is that the member firms are barely
organized compared with their counterparts in advanced
industrialized countries. Despite such a weakly organized
system, generally small-scale but self-reliant Iranian
firms courageously persist in the face of the market's
difficulties. Superficially, it appears that Iran's
apparel market is being filled with Chinese goods, but the
reality is somewhat different. Apparel firms that are
currently doing business with China but are ready to
terminate it at any time are taking advantage of newly
emerging opportunities to ensure the survival of their own
businesses. Reopening those businesses for domestic
operations remains an ever-present possibility for them.--
