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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aSmall business 606 $aTrade 606 $aBusiness 606 $aCommerce 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aIndustrial Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010 606 $aSmall Business$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514010 606 $aTrade$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527010 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aSmall business. 615 0$aTrade. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aCommerce. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aSmall Business. 615 24$aTrade. 676 $a302.35 700 $aIwasaki$b Yoko$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0905485 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255022203321 996 $aIndustrial Organization in Iran$92025261 997 $aUNINA
