Governments and the general public are growing more worried about the environmental imprints that organizations leave behind, even in spite of the apparent shift of these organizations toward sustainability goals. Constructing infrastructure with a low carbon intensity is essential to promoting green growth. India’s attempts to encourage sustainable and climate-friendly green growth are indicative of its drive to make the economy future-ready and reach net-zero by 2070. The largest commercial group in India has long been a major supporter of sustainable development projects. It has demonstrated its dedication to the environment by leading the way in creative sustainable business methods. In fact, a company’s capacity to recognize these issues and foster the proper attitudes and cultures within its own organization as well as among its many stakeholders will determine how much it can impact and decisively move toward its sustainability aims. The scientific community has turned its focus to transformation and green technology since green initiatives and incremental adaptation are not enough to address climate concerns and sustainability challenges. It is the ideal time for academics, business professionals, scientists, and legislators to join the growing fields of study, discussion, and debate on sustainability and management issues. This book aims to help researchers from many fields improve their technical projects and other research abilities. Their contributions enable the sharing of information and insights from several backgrounds, which can support both new theoretical frameworks and a comprehensive understanding of a subject. It provides a forum for understanding and debating emerging technologies and worldwide trends by expanding one’s knowledge of current, widely used research instruments and methodologies.

Innovation and novel leadership strategies have aided the successful growth of the fashion industry around the globe. However, as the dynamics of the industry are constantly changing, a deficit can emerge in the overall comprehension of industry strategies and practices.

"The Synergy of Apparel Product Development, Fifth Edition maps the processes required to bring apparel products from concept to consumer. This full-color text takes students step-by-step through the decision-making involved in the pre-production processes of apparel product development including business, creative, technical, and production planning. Updated chapter content reflects evolving industry practice. It demonstrates how these processes must be coordinated to get the right product to market, when consumers want it, and at a price they are willing to pay in an increasingly digital environment. The text seeks to address how functional approaches vary depending on a business's size and fashion focus. More global in scope, the fifth edition includes examples and case studies of multi-national companies and incorporates global nomenclature when it differs from the US industry.
