“…The competitive advantages of the Bangladesh RMG sector are price, capacity, and capability [114][115][116][117][118]. For example, compared to the USA, Bangladesh can produce a Polo T-Shirt 65% cheaper than the USA.…”

The global Readymade Garments (RMG) industry heavily relies on global supply chain management that aims to seek suppliers offering affordable, high-quality products delivered quickly. However, research on the factors influencing supplier selection in the RMG sector is scarce, and existing models fail to explain the paradox of rising exports in Bangladesh despite supply chain disruptions. This research strived to pervade this knowledge gap through a mixed-method empirical study on 66 international clothing brands. The findings reveal a two-step supplier selection process involving enlistment in a qualified supplier pool and subsequent allocation of work orders within the pool. Supplier competence and competitiveness are critical for enlistment and order qualification, while supplier relationship, competitiveness, and competence influence the selection of order winners. Notably, larger companies prioritize relationships in supplier selection. International RMG buying companies should focus on supplier competence factors to mitigate supply chain risks and maintain positive public relations. For the same reason, Bangladeshi policymakers should enforce compliance and help RMG suppliers to gain competencies.

“…An opinion study on garment workers [115] found that 82% of the respondents work more than 10 hours daily, 98% do not get any weekends, and about the same amount of respondents reported working in an unsecured factory. Consequently, several accidents occurred, including the world's worst RANA PLAZA accident [27][28][29].…”

“…Our study found this complex relationship, examining industry practices and perceptions to highlight challenges and opportunities for aligning fast fashion with sustainability. The transformative potential of technological innovations [92] emphasizes ethical sourcing [60,72,86,93,94], eco-friendly materials [85,95,96], and circular economy models that prioritize durability and recyclability. However, there is tension between fast CV and the growing consensus that responsible practices can coexist with the demand for rapid fashion cycles.…”

Although previous studies have offered comprehensive overviews of consumer behavior or sustainable fashion, research specifically focusing on Muslim fashion is relatively limited. In response to the leading concern of sustainability within the global fashion industry, our study is motivated by a unique focus on the evolving landscape of Muslim fashion, aiming to unravel the complex dynamics that define sustainable consumer behavior within this distinctive context. The knowledge structure, evolution, and research trends in this field using bibliometric analysis provide insights for both academics and practitioners. Using the Biblioshiny and VOSviewer tools, 90 articles from the years 2015 to 2023 will be examined as part of the methodology. This method reveals notable writers, publications, and important statistical elements, such as trends in publication and citation. In order to provide a comprehensive picture of the research landscape, the study also uses scientific mapping techniques like co-citation analysis, co-occurrence analysis, bibliographic coupling, and enrichment bibliometrics. The findings provide recommendations for future research directions and shed light on the current state of research in sustainable consumer behavior within the context of Muslim fashion. This study makes a contribution by synthesizing previous research and offering a distinctive viewpoint on sustainable consumer behavior in the Muslim fashion community.

Actitudes de los consumidores ante productos no éticos: diferencias sobre la percepción del precio

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar experimentalmente las actitudes de los consumidores hacia productos donde existe un componente poco ético asociado al coste de adquisición para el vendedor. Para ello, hemos diseñado cuatro experimentos en dos estudios de campo empleando dos productos diferentes (juguete, maletas) de industrias altamente criticadas por la explotación laboral, y con un cuidado diseño para evitar el sesgo de presentación favorable, el cual es una amenaza importante en este tipo de estudios sobre decisiones de compra éticas. El análisis de la muestra de 587 participantes concluye que, efectivamente, existe un sentimiento de preocupación por la justicia en el precio de un producto que afecta a la evaluación del atractivo del mismo, pero ese concepto de justicia está principalmente ligado a que el precio no es justo para el consumidor en lugar de que el precio no es justo para los trabajadores que lo han fabricado. De este modo, existe en el consumidor una motivación eminentemente egoísta en lugar de altruista o cooperativa, lo que podría dificultar la efectividad de las campañas de concienciación sobre la lucha contra la explotación laboral a través del consumo.
