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

    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.…

For countries with largebarriers to entry and an appealing customer base, Inditex created joint ventures with thepossibility of later buying out its partner. Despite the different approaches used to enter intothe international market, Zara has shown that there is no impediment to sharing a singlefashion culture.Zara, a key subsidiary of its Spain-based parent company Inditex, was established in Galicia,Spain in 1975. The brand provides an alternative outlook to the fashion retail business model byrejecting media advertising and blow-out sales, and maintaining the bulk of its productionprocess in-house rather than outsourcing to low-cost countries.
