This study investigated the comparative advantages of the Bangladeshi and Vietnamese apparel industries using Global Value Chain (GVC) framework. In this study, the GVC framework was expanded to include social and environmental sustainability issues. Secondary data, for the 2012 - 2013 period, were collected and analyzed for each component of the apparel GVC. The findings indicated that while both countries have unique comparative advantages, Vietnam clearly emerged as a leader on many GVC components. Bangladesh's comparative advantage lies in lower wages, producing high volume orders, and lean manufacturing. In spite of Vietnam's higher labor costs, it has comparative advantages in higher productivity, skilled and trained workers, manufacturing of intricate styles of high quality, agility and flexible manufacturing, more developed infrastructure and logistic services as well as greater social and environmental compliances. This study contributes towards insight into best sourcing fit for fashion brand business models. Based on the findings, fashion driven companies offering more complex styles at a faster rate will benefit from choosing Vietnam. In contrast, Bangladesh might be a better choice for high volume driven companies that offer basic apparel and better value for their consumers. From theoretical perspective, the research makes an important contribution by expanding the GVC framework.

The purpose of this paper is to seek ways to improve the competitiveness of Korea's fashion industry by utilizing the source of competitiveness of Japan's fashion industry, which represents the world's leading countries in terms of fashion, so that Korea can better enter the global fashion market. The study shall first compare the competitiveness of the Japanese and Korean fashion industries by utilizing the generalized double diamond model; second, provide an understanding of what the Japanese fashion industry can offer to Korean fashion industry and companies - that is, understand what the Japanese fashion industry's competitive edge is; and third, study the kind of global competitiveness that Korea's fashion industry must achieve. To adopt a generalized double diamond model to compare the competitiveness of the Korean and Japanese fashion industries, we selected 31 sub-variables to act as determinants of the model. That is, we extracted 31sub-variables by doing research of literature to analyze national competitiveness of the fashion industries. To measure these 31 sub-variables, secondary data was gathered. We collected data related to each sub-variable from various sources of Korea and Japan. And to calculate the competitiveness index, we took three steps with reference to previous studies. We found that status of the fashion industry of the two countries as it stands. That is, Japan is an advanced country of which fashion industry is domestic market-oriented while Korea is a small open economy that mainly focuses on the foreign market. Out of 31 proxy variables, Korea's fashion industry shows higher measurements relating to production and export than Japan, but Japan's fashion industry reports higher measurements than Korea in the fields of R&D, design and brand power, the rate of value added, the efficiency of companies and globalization. In order for Korea's fashion industry to achieve competitiveness in the global market, it should pursue the following development direction. First, it is very difficult for Korea to follow the footsteps of the U.S. and Japanese fashion industries that are able to take advantage of economies of scale, because Korea is smaller than those countries. Therefore, in the case of small economies such as Singapore, strengthening of international activities will practically improve domestic determinants that Korea should improve its domestic diamond by enhancing the current competitiveness of its international diamond. In other words, Korea needs to further endeavor to develop and expand global resources and markets as well as improve its competitiveness in terms of R&D, design and brand power, the rate of value-added, and the efficiency of companies. As the Korean fashion industry shows relatively advanced level of information technology and the fashion education system, it has considerable potential to grow. Korea is expected to have a huge growth potential since it has relatively higher level of information technology, fashion education system and activities than those of Japan in both the domestic diamond and international diamond. In particular, a better environment is laid out before Korea to gain competitiveness in the fashion industry due to the recently growing influence of the Korean Wave that Korea is expected to grow as a leader in the Asian market as well as in the global market.

조선 후기는 임진.병자 양난을 계기로 사회전반에 급격한 변화를 겪으며 근대 사회로의 전환기를 맞는다. 즉 전쟁으로 인한 국가제도의 문란과 혼란해진 사회구조 속에서 신분제도가 해이해졌고, 상업경제체제와 화폐경제의 발달로 인한 부유한 중인 계층이 대두되었고, 사상적으로는 유교가 공리공론에 빠지면서 유교윤리의 약화현상이 나타나면서 현실치중 의식을 보이는 실학사상이 등장 하였다. 또한 서민문예의 대두로 서민의식을 가진 서민계층(서민의식을 가진 양반계층 포함)이 등장하게 되었다.이 서민 계층의 등장은 복식에 있어서의 대중복식문화를 부각시키면서 유행현상이 출현되었다. 그리고 대중은 이 전환기 사회에서 변화된 그들의 역할과 가치관은 이제 더 이상 지배층에게서 영향력 행사할 충분한 권력이나 매력을 찾지 못했다. 따라서 이들은 새로운 상징적 선도자(Symbolic leaders) 즉, 모범을 보여주는 새로운 대상을 찾았고, 그들의 상징적 선도자는 바로 '자유분방하고, 사회활동을 하는 독립된 여성, 그리고 시와 가무를 즐기는 풍류가이고 또한 신체적으로 매력을 지닌 멋장이인' 기녀들 이었다. 선도자 그룹인 기녀계층에 의해 제시된 새로운 Fashion과 Style인 Erotic Mode와 사치 Mode는 그 시대 사조를 반영하면서 대중이 의식과 기호에 크게 맞아 떨어지자 큰 호응을 얻고 수용되었다. 즉 이들대중은 선도자 그룹을 모방 함으로써 그들과 자신들의 동일시를 성취하고 선도자의 Prestige를 나누어 가지고자 했던 것이다.이러한 이유로 해서 기녀들은 하류계층임에도 불구하고 조선후기 시대의 "패션의식적인"사회집단으로서 대중으로부터 주목받고 대중의 기호를 장악하며, 그들의 복식행동은 대중으로부터 강한 수용을 받게 되면서 대중의 의복 행동에 크게 영향을 미치는 유행선도자(Fashion leader)였음을 보게 된다.
