Identifying organizational competence in global textile complex

Abstract

The paper develops a matrix for organizational competence mapping according to some inherent common pattern identified to lead success, based on innovation and specialization – along three-dimensional domain of product, process and supply chain. Organizational distinctive competences are, hence, related to how they generate organizational critical success factors (CSFs). Survey conducted on Swedish Textile, Clothing and Fashion enterprises reveals that product quality is considered to be the most important for organizations followed by higher service level, supply chain coordination and flexibility. Cost and price reduction is apparently of lesser significance
