Exploring Business and Clothes Industry

My family's dinner table conversations have always involved business innovations and how to do improve on today, tomorrow. Reading these articles for me was things I'm used to hearing, such as taking new approaches on things, and constantly innovating the strategies yet remaining true to the companies strong foundation. For a retail business to be successful, they need to always have the customers wants in mind, and do all to their ability to make the customers experience with the company memorably impressive compared to others. Reading about the production of clothing was a new topic I learned today. I hear about car companies, which is quite similar to clothing, production always being prepared for the next new trend, but I have never learned about what goes in to the production. Zara and Uniqlo take different approaches to their clothing line production, but maintain the same goal throughout. What are these companies doing to be successful is a question constantly coming to mind as reading these articles. In the Bloomberg article, Felipe Caro states the negitive possibles Zara could encounter: "As soon as they decide to localize, to have two brains, one in Spain and one in China, it will be a different Zara." It is unclear to me the ways that the split would change the company, and what the pros and cons would be.
