“…One possibility to mitigate the weaknesses and improve the innovative activities of the LPA would be the collective elaboration of a sectoral development plan, which incorporates in its objectives, among other things, actions to foster cooperation processes focused on P&D and proposals for the qualification of the actors who carry out operational and strategic processes in the textile production chain. The potential contribution of this recommendation to the LPA, in addition to being based on the empirical reality diagnosed in this study, is based on studies already carried out in the textile sector in other countries (Kazmi & Takala, 2014;Nhung & Thuy, 2018).…”

Objective: to analyze the propensity for innovation in textile manufacturing companies in the town of Gaspar/SC. Methodology: characterized as descriptive, the research uses a quantitative approach. An electronic questionnaire was administered, answered by 35 textile companies based in a Local Productive Arrangement (LPA). Results: the results highlight that, among the implemented innovation typologies, there is a domain of process innovation. Within the main factors that motivate innovation is the adoption of more efficient production methods. The predominant problems/challenges are a lack of qualified labor and the high costs of innovation. Theoretical/methodological contributions: to offer a systematic vision about the theme of innovation applied to a productive arrangement of national relevance. Relevance/Originality: the gathering of data and the discussion on innovation in textile manufacturing companies for children's clothing in a specific Brazilian productive arrangement were not previously done. Social/management contributions: The research provides to company managers of textile confections that their effort on the innovation process generates only incremental innovations, derived from external knowledge provided by suppliers, that generates a dependency to innovate.

“…This is also evident from the growth of national exports. Small capital and the lack of government funding have caused slower growth in the Pakistani textile industry, while international exposure and equal recognition have been obtained because of their remarkable ability and efficiency in attracting international buyers (Kazmi & Takala, 2014). One of the significant contributors to exports in Pakistan is the textile industry.…”

Green HRM is vital in organizations' sustainability policies, seen as a recent research trend. This paper aims to identify the five most important drivers and critical barriers to Green HRM implementation in Pakistan's textile industry. Data were collected from a group of Pakistan's textile industry experts, and the Fuzzy Delphi and Fuzzy AHP methods were used to examine the results. The findings reveal that the most critical five drivers of Green HRM implementation are improvement in company image, maximum use of resources, reduced waste, stimulation of growth and innovation, top management support, and work-life balance. The results further explore the five critical barriers: difficulty and complexity in green technology adoption, lack of organizational support, employee resistance, and lack of culture and knowledge of individuals. This analysis is valuable to researchers by highlighting research gaps and making specific suggestions on Green HRM research. This study proposes a detailed research structure for future studies, particularly implementation recommendations for Green HRM practices. Organizations should adequately evaluate the green culture and work-life balance of employees. They can also support and engage employees in a green environment and manage organizational sustainability performance. Using different methods, this research may also be carried out in the future, especially comparing the various drivers and barriers of Green HRM of small and large companies in Pakistan. In this research, new barriers and drivers are used in this context. The paper takes a detailed look at analyzing drivers and barriers of Green HRM implementation in an organization through DELPHI and MCDM techniques. This research paper acknowledges that Green HRM implementation's most crucial aspects are the organization's barriers and drivers. An organization applies the DELPHI technique to validate known barriers and drivers of Green HRM execution. This research aims to develop the source of information within the literature on drivers and barriers of Green human resource management execution in an organization and the collection of organizational sustainability performance.

“…Although Bangladesh's RMG sector has a crucial and dominating role in the world market, the research areas on prospective value addition and future growth have been ignored by researchers. Other competitive neighbouring countries, for instance, Pakistan has a significant amount of research work on the Pakistani RMG sector's value creation (Ahmed, 2008;Hanif & Jafri, 2008;Khan & Khan, 2010;Kazmi & Takala, 2014;Ahmad & Mohammad, 2019;Javed & Atif, 2019), the export value of Iranian textile was insignificant with a constant trend (Shafaei, 2009), India with an expectation to capture the global market by increasing number of units into value addition fields (Chavan, 2001), on the other hand, Kelegama (2009) recommended to high value-added products in Sri Lanka. One significant finding was from the study of Wan Ahmad et al (2007), refereeing the textile industry as a "waste saving" industry.…”

Bangladesh has achieved the prestigious second place among the biggest textile exporters countries. The paper's main objective was to explore the relationship between value addition from ready-made garments with export and import from that sector. The study further focused on the influence of previous exports, imports, and value addition on the current value addition. The study was based on three time series variables, namely export, import, and value addition from ready-made garments of Bangladesh, using data from the Bangladesh Central Bank (Bangladesh Bank) for the years 1994 to 2020. The time series variables exhibited the unit root problem and were converted to stationary after the first difference, checked by Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test. The multiple linear regression model illustrated, on the one hand, a highly significant and positive relationship between value addition and export, on the other hand, a highly significant and negative relationship between value addition and import for the ready-made garments in Bangladesh. Moreover, the paper used the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to explore the influences of lag values of those three variables on value addition. The results suggested that causation among the variables was significant in the short run, but insignificant in the long run. In conclusion, Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry plays an important role in the economy, and it is prudent to expand manufacturing with more value addition in the future.
