Venue: India Habitat Centere, New Delhi 110001, India (Details of Speakers Below.)

With the textile quotes gone the Indian textile industry is set to achieve a compounded annual growth rate of 11%. The opportunity for Indian Garment Exporters will come rapidly and unexpectedly.

Today, the textiles and apparel market is increasingly global operating in a highly competitive market, requiring specialisation and targeting market niches. More significant is the array of new production and control technologies, controlled through a "quick response" network that effectively reduces the distance between producers and retailers. Technological advancements is seen by industry trade groups as the key to increased competitiveness in the global marketplace.

India’s textiles and apparel enterprises remain a critical part of the national economy. Forces of change—primarily technology and international competition have gathered strength for a generation, forcing the industry through its most profound transformation since the industrial revolution.

Such change has affected the nature of products produced; how they are produced; how they are marketed; the structure, scale, and scope of the enterprises producing them; and the nature of jobs created directly and indirectly by the industry. OGTC believes that in order to move forward we must shift from functional management to Value Thinking This can, and should, be applied all the time, not just in formal studies and workshops The industry should start considering value thinking as a special case of decision making and there by, we open up the possibilities for including all appropriate tools and it is impossible to plan successfully to achieve value without taking account of uncertainty.

In these turbulent times of economic Tsunami the subject “Functional Management to Value Thinking” becomes more and more relevant and critical and as such is the theme of the conference
