East Asia is now a major player in international finance, providing serious competition to the more traditional financial centers of London and New York. Financial Sector Development in the Pacific Rim provides a rich collection of theoretical and empirical analyses of the growing capital markets in the region.

Textiles are mainly considered a component part of the supply chain, with end uses ranging from apparel to home textiles to industrial goods to medical textiles. Even though apparel is the largest end use of textiles and has increasingly moved offshore to low-cost labor countries, there remains a growing textile manufacturing industry in the U.S. for capital and technology-intensive products, such as nonwovens and those with military end uses. One unique aspect of textile manufacturing is that it includes sectors from agriculture, chemicals, industrial manufacturing, cutting-edge research and development, in addition to the fashion aspects of apparel and home goods. It is highly dependent on economic conditions and consumer demand, and competition is primarily based on price. Another unique aspect of the textile manufacturing industry is its fragmented nature. Whereas a few major players define most industries, there are over 8,000 textile establishments in the U.S., and no major textile firm has more than 2 percent share of the market. Also, unique to the textile industry is its importance in the global economy and to the economic development of other countries, particularly related to labor rights and women's issues. The textile manufacturing industry illustrates a variety of concepts including economics, technology and engineering, agriculture, history, marketing and fashion, globalization, social studies, labor issues, and environmental regulations, which would be useful to a number of audiences including students, industry, and public policymakers. 410 0$aIndustry profiles collection.$x2331-0073 606 $aTextile industry$zUnited States 606 $aTextile manufacturers$zUnited States 610 $acompetitive strategies 610 $acotton 610 $aenvironment 610 $afabric 610 $afiber 610 $aglobalization 610 $amanufacturing 610 $atechnology management 610 $atextiles 610 $atrade 615 0$aTextile industry 615 0$aTextile manufacturers 676 $a338.4767700973 700 $aParrish$b Erin D.$01639045 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815423003321 996 $aA profile of the textile manufacturing industry$93981783 997 $aUNINA
