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.--
