1. Inditex Group 2.1 Inditex
Inditex is a large Spanish multinational and nowadays is the largest fashion group, above of GAP. It is made up of almost a hundred companies dealing with activities related to textile design, production and distribution. Inditex was founded by Amancio Ortega, who is the richest man in Spain, and the 7th World's richest man
Inditex has more than 5,000 stores all over the world and owns many brands that I will define in the following points. The majority of Inditex stores are corporate-owned, but as we will see, Inditex uses other strategies to open new stores. Nowadays Inditex employs more than 100.000 workers all over the world. | 2010 | 2009 | 09/10 | Income | 12.527 M€ | 11.084 M€ | 13% | Net income | 1.732 M€ | 1.314 M€ | 32% | Stores | 5.044 | 4.607 | 437 | Coutries | 77 | 74 | 3 | Workers | 100.138 | 92.301 | 7.837 |

The characteristic that make Inditex different from its competitors is that Inditex almost designs and manufactures everything by itself, and thanks to that, new designs can be dispatched twice a week to its stores.
The headquarters of Inditex are in Arteixo, a town in northwestern Spain, and it is there where almost all its merchandises are manufactured; about 50% of the production is made near Arteixo, about 30% is made in China, and the rest of the production is made in Europe. Moreover, Inditex has another big plant mainly responsible for shoes' design, production and distribution in Elche, in the Spanish Mediterranean coast.
Between years 1996 and 2001, the group tripled its size, and after 2001 it rocketed its revenues

    Case Study

    It is important to realize the manner in which other competitor’s of Inditex, SA are operating. As the economic criteria for promoting an established discipline in the desired sectors, the most common act to follow is retreat. But as those firms hold back or constrain their efforts to accompany short term financial parameters, I believe that many experienced capitalists will retrieve heightened gains with several uncommon practices to boost capital. First, as mentioned in the article, the firm plans on expanding the number of stores that they now operate in many different countries. This is the most respected, in my opinion, because costs are much lower in such economies, meaning that as others are closing stores and laying off personnel, there is a grand opportunity to enlarge production and develop more progressive features for attracting customers. The price of material and labor are at an all time low, since the early part of the twentieth century, so it only makes sense to move forward in this area.…

    Unlike M&S, Inditex focused on the principles of creativity, innovation, and fast market response to propel the business. They pinpointed a strategy of developing multiple different brands and retail formats to specifically target certain market segments. This allowed them to cater to the needs of each societal group to the best of their ability. Similar to how M&S prided themselves for their high quality, Inditex strove to be able to quickly adapt to fashion changes. With Zara, Inditex designers would scout out uprising fashion trends pre-season in the streets and discos and would begin to create fashion lines for release. However designs would all but stop at the release. Designers would continue creating 5-8 new designs every day in season. On average they produced 12,000 new products every year.…

    Inditex ensures that its fashion is fast through its supply chain efforts. They have created new methods to enable store managers to order and display merchandise faster and added cargo routes for shipping goods. The company ships clothing straight from the factory to stores and makes two-thirds of its goods in Spain and nearby countries, compared to most competitors who manufacture most of their clothing in Asia. Inditex has their sales managers monitoring computers, which are reporting sales at every store around the world. When a garment does well or fails, they are able to quickly tell designers if they need to come up with new ideas. They also have generated in house store fronts where they develop new marketing promotions every two weeks and can send pictures and decoration plans to their stores to replicate. Also, they have provided hand-help computers for sales clerks that inform them how garments rank by sales. This enables them to re-order best selling items in less than an hour.
