1.1. Introduction:
In this chapter discuss about the garment industry history of garment industry and industry
scenario of Indian garment market. And also discuss about customer ethnocentrism and brand
cultural dimensions and compare cultural of foreign brands and Indian brands. Discuss about the
global garment industry and how it grow and also global market share of the garment industry
and finally discuss about the Hofstede’s cultural dimension and discuss all cultural variable
which are given by Hofstede’s.
1.2. Brands & Cultural Dimensions:
A brand (understood to be “a name term sign symbol or design or a combination of them
which is intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or a group of sellers and to
differentiate them from those of competitors! "otler #$$% pp. &&' can potentially play many
roles in consumer decision)making and choice behavior. *nderlying many of the brand effects is
consumer uncertainty about product attributes and+or benefits.
,he lots of roles brands play in consumer many various decision doing may materiali-e through
multiple mechanisms are as psychological (e.g. memory is associative with network
sociological (e.g. communities brand and economic processes (e.g. brands is as the signal
under the uncertainty ("eller //. 0arlier work on brands is as the signal under the
uncertainty (e.g. 0rdem and 1wait #$$23 4ernerfelt #$22 focused on the influence of imperfect
and asymmetric information on consumer choice processes.
1pecifically 0rdem and 1wait (#$$2 suggested that the clarity and credibility of brands as
signals of product positions increase perceived 5uality decrease consumer perceived risk and
information costs and hence increase consumer e6pected utility.
,hey also discussed the antecedents to credibility and clarity. In this framework the key
characteristic of a brand signal is its credibility. 7rand credibility (the credibility of a brand as a
signal is defined as the believability of the product position information contained in a brand
which depends on the willingness and ability of firms to deliver what is promised.
8ost previous work utili-ing information economics frameworks to e6plain brand credibility and
brand e5uity focused on the foreign countries only. ,he validity of e6isting frameworks in

predicting consumer behavior in regard to brands as signals and outcomes outside of the foreign
is not clear.
4ith the growing trend in the globali-ation of marketing activities as well as the importance of
brands in accomplishing many of these activities there is a pressing need to e6plicitly address
whether e6isting frameworks are compatible with consumer behavior outside of the foreign
brand and if not to delimit their scope of application. Despite this practical impetus and growing
theoretical interest relatively little work e6amines the use of signals or e6trinsic cues to 9udge
5uality across countries and+or cultures.
,he purpose of this paper the first the paper tests how well the information economics view of
brand e6plains consumer brand choice. 1pecifically this paper assesses the applicability of the
framework proposed by 0rdem and 1wait (#$$2 in across countries representing different
cultural dimensions. 1econd we aim to highlight some differences across countries.
8ore specifically we attempt to e6plore differences in the way brands as signals operate across
countries and link any such differences to consumers’ cultural orientation. 4e believe that three
of Hofstede’s (#$2/ cultural dimensions (individual)collectivism uncertainty avoidance and
power distance may particularly affect the way consumers use and think about brands as signals.
4e conducted our analysis using survey and e6perimental data on orange 9uice and personal
computers. Data on consumer brand perceptions choices and cultural dimensions were collected
from sub9ects in India.
4e chose this county to represent a wide range of Hofstede’s (#$2/ cultural dimensions.
However some interesting differences emerge in terms of both total credibility effects on choice
as well as the mechanisms are through which the brands 5uality of being trusted and believed is
to effects on utility operate.

between foreign brands and local brands (national brands. In this environment like competitive

1.!. "arment Industr#:
Indian garment industry plays a significant role not only in the country’s economy but also in the
lives of millions of citi-ens of this country. It provides direct employment to about = million
workers. :urrently consumption of readymade garments in the domestic markets is around %/
per cent whereas '/ per cent of garments produced are e6ported to ma9or markets such as *1
:anada and 0urope.
*ntil recently the industry was reserved for the small)scale units to protect the employment in
rural and urban areas. ,hese policy restrictions affected investment in the plant and machinery. In
turn this prevented the industry from updating technology and from achieving economies of
scale thus adversely affected both 5uality and productivity (antahki //#.

ilot testing is a small)scale trial where a few e6aminees take the test and comment on themechanics of the test. ,hey point out any problems with the test instructions instances where
items are not clear and formatting and other typographical errors.
A pilot is a trial run a small)scale version of your larger pro9ect. A program pilot is an important
step that can help you catch potential problems and prevent them from escalating as well as
accomplish several goals before full implementation occurs. ,his tip sheet e6plores the
advantages of pilot testing e6plains how to prepare for pilot testing your program and provides
general tips to consider when setting up your pilot test.
?or what reason pilot test conductedG
• A pilot test can serve as a trial run for your program and can help determine if any
ad9ustments to your implementation plan or adaptations to the program are necessary.
• It can also reveal unforeseen challenges that might arise during implementation (i.e.
issues with the setting and logistics particular lessons or activities for which more staff
training or attention may be necessary etc. and ensures that your staff are well prepared
to handle issues that come up during the full)scale implementation.
• ilot testing is an opportunity to gauge your target population’s reaction to the program.
• It is best to select a pilot group that is demographically similar to your program’s specific
target population also called the intervention group.
•,he feedback from these youth can offer a glimpse into how the intervention group mayrespond to the curriculum. 8ost importantly it can help confirm whether or not your
program is a good fit for your population and whether minor adaptations to the program
are appropriate and+or necessary.
• ilot testing can help you make better decisions about how to allocate time and resources.

• ilot testing can help ensure that you are well prepared to measure the success of your
program.
• A pilot test can highlight any ad9ustments to your evaluation plan that might be necessary
to ensure that you are measuring the desired outcomes in the best way possible.
• ,he pilot test will be an opportunity to test your evaluation instruments as well.
• ,he pilot test will give the evaluation team and the implementation team a chance to
work together before full implementation and troubleshoot any logistical issues that
might arise with the distribution and :ollection of the evaluation data.

iii. Coefficients
,he regression coefficient b represents the amount the dependent variable will change by if the
independent variable changes by one unit.
Beta is the standardised regression coefficient which allows us to compare the effect of
variables measured on different scales.
Co linearit# (or multicollinearity is the undesirable situation where the correlations among the
independent variables are strong. 4hen two X variables are highly correlated they both convey
essentially the same information. 4hen this happens the X variables are collinear and the results
show multicollinearity.
,o help you assess multicollinearity 111 gives you the ariance Inflation ?actor (I? that
measures multicollinearity in the model. ,he I? is above = and less than #/ which means that
multicollinearity inflated the standard errors which lowers the , test below which means that
the significance level becomes above /./=. And tolerance level is reciprocally related to I? i.e.
# Y I?

However H' was not supported as we hypothesi-ed a negative relationship between uncertainty
avoidance and ethnocentrism. It’s indicates that consumer uncertainty avoidance shows they
have not stronger ethnocentric tendencies.
ower distance was found to have a positive significant relationship with customer ethnocentric

distance cultural value shows their stronger ethnocentric tendencies.
A significant positive relationship also was found between customer ethnocentric tendencies and
attitudes toward domestic product. It’s indicating that Indian consumers with higher customer
ethnocentric tendencies shows their stronger attitude of Indian customer toward the garments
brands.

.1 Conclusion
,he present study has been mainly focused on investigating the ethnocentric tendency of indian
customers and how ethnocentric tendencies depends on Hofstede’s cultural variables and finally
investigating indian customer attitude towards indian garments brands available in their local
market. ,he empirical evidences support the first two hypotheses and re9ect the third hypothesis.
,herefore Hypothesis one shows Indian consumers with higher collectivistic values shows their
stronger ethnocentric tendencies toward Indian garments. 1ame way Indian consumers with
higher masculinity cultural value shows their stronger ethnocentric tendencies. Indian consumer
uncertainty avoidance shows they have not stronger ethnocentric tendencies and in the & th
hypothesis Indian consumers with higher power distance cultural value shows their stronger
ethnocentric tendencies. And in the hypothesis = th and ;th we study that customer ethnocentrism
tendencies have stronger impact on customer attitude same way the Indian consumer with higher
ethnocentric tendencies and higher positive attitude shows their stronger willingness to buy of
Indian consumer toward garments brands.
,he results of the study offer some implications to the domestic garments companies in the India
to rethink about their current strategies. In practical scenarios most of the local garments brands
are performing well in the domestic market. However they cannot under)value the increasing
threat of foreign competitors. ,herefore marketers of local garments companies should use
ethnocentric brand appeals associated with the Hofstede’s culture to attract more customers in
growing segments. ?urthermore they can use the findings of the study in segmentation and
positioning of their garments brands in the domestic market.
,his study was characteri-ed by several limitations that restrict the reliability to generali-e the
findings. ?irst the study was restricted to the north Cu9arat region in the India. As the north
Cu9arat region represents west India it may be possible to obtain different results in the case of
conducting the study in other parts of the India. ?urthermore the data was collected fromstudents of the university with using self)administrated 5uestionnaires and we also collected data
from online using google form. ,hus it is possible that these respondents may have provided
highly sub9ective responses and also the entire population of the India region may not be
represented by them. ,herefore further research can be designed to investigate this issue in
different areas of the India3 using random or stratified sampling techni5ues to represent the total

population in the India. ?urthermore future researches could investigate the impact of customer
attitudes and willingness to buy of garments in considering the customer ethnocentrism of the
garments brands as well.
