Hillbrick, Gordon Colin, and kimg@deakin edu au. "THE LIPID COMPOSITION OF CASHMERE GOAT FIBRES." Deakin University, 1994. http://tux.lib.deakin.edu.au./adt-VDU/public/adt-VDU20031205.162817.
Full textAbstract:
This study examined the differences in the chemical composition, particularly fatty acids, of the lipid extracted from the fibre of bucks, does and castrated goats. The study provides a more detailed understanding of the chemical composition of buck fibre lipid and how it varies throughout the year, and also details the effect of body region and nutrition on the production and chemical composition of lipid from buck fibre.
Lipid was extracted with either petroleum ether (non-polar) or chloroform/methanol azeotrope (polar) and analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The more polar solvent system extracted larger amounts of lipid and more of each individual fatty acid. The following buck specific ethyl branched fatty acids were identified: 2-ethylhexanoic, 4-ethylhexanoic, 2-ethyloctanoic, 4-ethyloctanoic, 6-ethyloctanoic, 2-ethyldecanoic, 4-ethyldecanoic, 2-ethyldodecanoic, 6-ethyldodecanoic, 4-ethyldodecanoic, 2-ethyltetradecanoic, 6-ethyltetradecanoic, 4-ethyltetradecanoic, 2-ethylhexadecanoic and 4-ethyloctadecanoic acids. Of these buck specific fatty acids only 4-ethylhexanoic (T), 4-ethyloctanoic, 4-ethyldecanoic, 4-ethyldodecanoic, 6-ethyldodecanoic (T), 4-ethyltetradecanoic, 2-ethylhexadecanoic (T) and 4-ethylhexadecanoic acids have been previously identified or tentatively identified (T) in buck fibre extracts. This shows that the chemical composition of buck fibre lipid is more complex than previously reported, and that it may be more difficult than previously thought to artificially duplicate the odour of the buck.
Buck fibre samples had lower average
concentrations of 2-methylpropanoic, 2-methylbutanoic, iso-pentadecanoic, anteiso-pentadecanoic, iso-hexadecanoic, anteiso-heptadecanoic, iso-octadecanoic and anteiso-nonadecanoic acids as compared with fibre samples from does, spayed does, or wethers that were castrated at one month of age. The reduced concentrations of these fatty acids in buck fibre extracts were likely to be due to the synthesis of ethyl branched derivatives of iso and anteiso fatty acids. Buck fibre samples had higher concentrations of benzoic acid as compared with fibre samples from does, spayed does, or wethers that were castrated at one month of age. The significance of these results is that non buck specific fatty acids may also make a contribution to the odour of bucks.
When fibre samples were collected at various times throughout the year, it was found that the bucks had increased amounts of lipid and ethyl branched fatty acids in fibre samples shorn from March to September, as compared with fibre samples shorn in November and January. The increase in the amount of lipid and ethyl branched fatty acids corresponded with both the rutting period of the buck and the period when the buck odour was increased. This suggests that ethyl branched fatty acids could be pheromones.
The variation in lipid content and fatty acid composition was also examined between fibre samples collected from different body regions of the buck during April, as alterations in sebaceous gland activity around the neck during rutting have been reported. It was found that the average amount of lipid in the neck region of the bucks was not statistically higher than the average amounts in the midside and hind regions. However, the ethyl branched fatty acid concentrations were statistically higher in the fibre from around the neck as compared with the fibre from the other body regions, which is consistent with the odour of the buck being most pronounced around the head and neck region.
The lipid content and composition of fibre samples from bucks fed high and low quality diets (lucerne and pangola grass, respectively) was examined to determine the effect of nutrition on buck specific components. The high quality diet increased the amount of lipid and ethyl branched fatty acids in fibre samples collected in April from the neck, midside and hind regions, as compared with fibre samples from the corresponding body regions from bucks fed the low quality diet. Thus it may be possible for the pheromone levels of bucks to be increased by simply providing them with good nutrition.
The lipid content and ethyl branched fatty acid concentrations of fibre samples increased earlier in the year for the lucerne fed bucks as compared with the pangola grass fed bucks. The lucerne fed bucks had increased concentrations of ethyl branched fatty acids in fibre samples shorn during December to June (6 months) whereas the pangola grass fed bucks had increased concentrations of ethyl branched fatty acids in fibre samples shorn during April to August (4 months). These observations show that good nutrition can result in both the earlier production of ethyl branched fatty acids and an extended period when ethyl branched fatty acids are produced. This suggests that nutrition can be used to manipulate pheromone levels in the buck. The period when the ethyl branched fatty acids were increased corresponded with the period when the plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone concentrations, odour and sebaceous gland volume of the bucks were increased, which supports the assumption that ethyl branched fatty acids are involved in odour production and act as pheromones.

Choudhury, Suchitra. "Textile orientalisms : cashmere and paisley shawls in British literature." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2013. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5201/.
Full textAbstract:
Britain imported a vast number of cashmere shawls from the Indian subcontinent in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These were largely male garments in India at the time, which became popular dress accessories for British women. The demand for these shawls was opportune for textile manufacturers at home – particularly in Edinburgh, Norwich, and Paisley, who launched a thriving industry of shawls, ‘made in imitation of the Indian’. There has been considerable scholarship on cashmere shawls and their European copies in textile history. However, it has enjoyed no such prominence in literary studies. This PhD thesis examines Cashmere and ‘Paisley’ shawls in works of literature. Indian shawls are mentioned in a number of literary texts, including plays, poems, novels, opera, and satire. A wide variety of writers such as Richard Sheridan, Sir Walter Scott, Jane Austen, and Wilkie Collins (to name a few) depict these textiles in their works. For these writers, I argue, shawls provide a means to explore Britain’s changing social and imperial identity through the prism of material culture. The sheer incidence of ‘shawls’ in printed discourse furthermore suggests that they went beyond the realm of everyday fashion to constitute one of the important narratives of nineteenth-century Britain. In emphasising the significance of material culture and recovering new historical contexts, this investigation raises important questions relating to the links between industry and trade, and literary production. I rely on literary criticism, scholarship on India, and textile history to examine the phenomenon of cashmere shawls. In the wider context of postcolonialism, the research suggests that instead of the Saidian model which viewed the East as an abject ‘Other,’ colonies actually exerted a reverse and important influence on the imperial centre. A new emphasis on Indian things in literature, this work hopes, will contribute a fresh strand of thought to studies of imperialism.

Full textAbstract:
Cashmere Forest is currently a production forest comprised of mostly radiata pine (c.85%), Douglas fir (c.5%) and some non plantation areas. The Port Hills Park Trust Board (PHPTB) is interested in purchasing Cashmere Forest for the purpose of creating a public forest park environment where forestry, indigenous biodiversity, recreation and the environment are goals of sustainable management. For this purpose this draft forest management (DFM) plan has been prepared. The preparation of the Cashmere DFM plan comprised three main components: 1. An economic analysis of the current plantation component of Cashmere Forest. 2. Preparation of a draft forest management plan which encompasses the management of plantation and non plantation areas. 3. Preparation of a geographic information system (GIS) for Cashmere Forest. Economic analysis evaluated clearfell, coupe (2 to 5 ha), and a mixture of coupe and continuous canopy management (CCM) as harvesting scenarios. The coupe CCM mix was recommended for implementation primarily as it best suited long term management goals for Cashmere Forest Park while also returning modest value (NPV $561, 966). Normal cashflow analysis was also used to analyse cashflow over the first thirty years of operation from 2007. Under coupe/CCM, accrued profit does not become permanently positive until around 2019 due to initial infrastructure costs. Accrued revenue culminates at around 4 million after 30 years. This figure may drop following implementation of high pruning, alternative growth models and indigenous restoration. The Cashmere DFM plan begins with the 200 year vision which sees a Forest Park ecosystem that achieves production, environmental, ecological and recreational goals appropriate to its Port Hills location. Production forestry is practiced through the selective harvesting of a range of naturally regenerated exotic and restored indigenous species. Landscape, soil and water resources are sustainably managed through the retention of a mixed forest canopy. The forest park has been significantly augmented with indigenous flora and fauna typical of the Port Hills and ecologically significant areas are managed specifically for their indigenous biodiversity. Park recreational users are enjoying ongoing utilisation of a unique Canterbury landscape. Plantation forest management involves coupes of between 2 to 5 ha which will be harvested with cable or ground based systems with areas split approximately 50:50 between the two. Cable harvesting will be carried out with a swing yarder system with ground based operations carried out with track skidders. CCM will be carried out on a trial basis in three compartments. Re-establishment of plantation areas will aim towards occupying around 58% of Cashmere Forest, comprised of areas of radiate pine 65%, radiata pine/eucalypt 24%, Douglas fir/eucalypt 5% and Alternative species 6%. Non plantation areas are identified as either bluff, track or clearing. Within each area there may be one or more vegetation type including tussock grassland, mixed shrubland, rock association and any mixture of the three. It is proposed that the non plantation area will eventually increase to include riparian buffers 31%, restored native 55%, bluff 10% and track 4% areas, reflecting the long term vision of increased native areas in Cashmere Forest. Monitoring of forest operations, restoration, recreation and management progress will be integral to the successful implementation of the Cashmere DFM plan. A database of information will be created to allow periodical reviews of processes and predictions and reconciliation of costs and revenues associated with the management of Cashmere Forest. Periodical reviews will also be undertaken by an independent management advisory group who can liaise with the project manager of Cashmere Forest Park to discuss issues and aid planning and ensure the successful establishment of this unique park resource.

Full textAbstract:
The role of selected hormones in the control of hair follicle activity, fibre growth and moult in cashmere goats was investigated by manipulation of prolactin (PRL), thyroid hormones, and growth hormone (GH) individually or in combination. In experiment 1, the effect of different doses of the anti-thyroid drug "propylthiouracil" (PTU), on thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) profiles and deiodinase enzyme activities in liver, kidney and skin tissues was determined. Types II and III deiodinase enzymes were found to be present in goat skin but not type I. It was concluded that the supply of T3 within the skin was partly independent of circulating hormone profiles. In experiment 2, goats were treated with PTU, triiodothyronine (T3) and bromocriptine (Br) to decrease T3 availability to tissues and circulating PRL concentrations, respectively. Treatment with Br delayed the spring rise in plasma PRL concentrations (P=0.06) and primary (P<0.05) hair follicle activity, and delayed moult onset (P<0.01). PTU treatment did not significantly affect hair follicle activity but generally delayed the time of moult onset (P<0.05). The effects of the treatments were not additive, indicating that the actions of the two hormones were not independent. The effects of PTU and Br treatments were not exerted through changes in IGF-I binding activity in the skin, but binding was greater (P<0.01) in April than November. In experiment 3, treatment with bovine somatotropin (bST), T4 or metoclopramide to increase circulating concentrations of GH, T4 or PRL, failed to prolong the period of anagen in hair follicles, but bST increased fibre growth rate (P<0.05) and this was associated with higher circulating IGF-I concentrations. It is concluded that manipulation of the cycle of the cashmere-producing hair follicle is unlikely to be achieved through manipulation of circulating hormone concentrations alone and that much regulation of hair follicle activity occurs within the skin itself, possibly through changes in enzymes that control the supply of T3 to the follicles, in hormone receptor activity, and in the rate of synthesis of IGF-I and other growth factors within the skin.

Dicks, Pamela. "The endocrine control and manipulation of hair follicle activity in the cashmere goat." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1993. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/32975.
Full textAbstract:
The Cashmere goat has an annual cycle of hair growth and moulting, which is associated with changes in photoperiod. The first experiment was designed to determine if slow release melatonin implants could be used to delay the spring moult and initiation of hair follicle activity; as has been reported in mink and Blue-foxes and to investigate other endocrine changes associated with the onset of the moulting period. In the second experiment the association between the increase in plasma prolactin concentration and the onset of moulting and hair follicle activity was investigated. The final experiment was designed to determine whether a period of plasma prolactin suppression followed by a rapid increase in plasma prolactin concentration would accelerate the moult and thereby synchronise the onset of moulting within a group of animals. It is concluded that the timing of the spring moult in the cashmere goat can be altered by manipulating plasma prolactin concentrations. Factors other than prolactin may, however, be involved at the follicular level and controlling the response of individual follicles.

Full textAbstract:
What other means of influence exist in business other than economic? That is the question we set out to answer in regards to the fashion industry and the specific supply chain of cashmere. The cashmere industry has been described as complex, therefore the research has taken a complex adaptive systems approach to investigate how relationships between parts give rise to the collective behaviours of a system and how the system interacts and forms relationships with its environment. This paper describes a qualitative case study research conducted to identify the potential influence that a small to medium enterprises can have on their supply chain actors to steer them towards sustainability. Looking specifically at the supply chain of one Scottish cashmere manufacturer within the luxury fashion industry we have assessed this company’s current reality to the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development. This paper aims to present enablers and barriers towards influence, their correlations and complexity when looking at sustainability. In addition it will provide prescriptive thoughts for SMEs to support internal and external transition through sustainable development towards a sustainable cashmere supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
Major conclusions of each experiment are as follows:- Experiment 1: • Under experimental conditions described in Chapter 3 Cashmere and Angora goats, on average, exhibited similar values for LWG. • Differences between two genotypes were noted in superior values of apparent digestibility of DM and CP although there were lower values of nitrogen retention in Cashmere than Angora goats; this result suggested that nitrogen utilisation was more efficient in the Angora goats. • In response to dietary rumen-protected methionine, nitrogen retention and LWG were improved in both genotypes. However total fibre yield and diameter were increased only in the Angora goats. Experiment 2: • The supply of rumen-protected methionine increased the total weight and protein and water concentration of carcass and non-carcass components of Angora goats. • Methionine supply had no effect on the proportion of dietary nitrogen partitioned between mohair and other body components. • Dietary methionine supplementation changed the amino acid composition of mohair (increased cyst(e)ine and reduced phenylalanine) and muscle samples (increased methionine, phenylalanine and lysine) in addition to producing increases in total weight of mohair and LWG. Experiment 3: • The presence of both methionine and cyst(e)ine was required to support maximum growth of isolated anagen mohair and cashmere secondary hair follicles in vitro. • The presence of methionine, but not cyst(e)ine when methionine was present, was essential for maintaining growth and viability of isolated hair follicles of Angora and Cashmere goats. Experiment 4: • Epidermal growth factor (EGF) at low concentration (1 μg/l) increased DNA concentration, protein deposition and elongation in anagen mohair secondary hair follicles. • At high concentration (10 μg/l) EGF produced a club-hair like structure which was associated with stimulation of cell proliferation in outer root sheath and inhibition in matrix cells. These changes resembled those occurring in anagen to catagen transition.

Full textAbstract:
This research details an investigation into processes employing laser technology to create design-led three-dimensional textiles. An analysis of historical and contemporary methods for making three-dimensional textiles categorises these as processes that construct a three-dimensional textile, processes that apply or remove material from an existing textile to generate three-dimensionality or processes that form an existing textile into a three-dimensional shape. Techniques used in these processes are a combination of joining, cutting, forming or embellishment. Laser processing is embedded in textile manufacturing for cutting and marking. This research develops three novel processes: laser-assisted template pleating which offers full design freedom and may be applied to both textile and non-textile materials. The language of origami is used to describe designs and inspire new design. laser pre-processing of cashmere cloth which facilitates surface patterning through laser interventions in the manufacturing cycle. laser sintering on textile substrates which applies additive manufacturing techniques to textiles for the generation of three-dimensional surface patterning and structures. A method is developed for determining optimum parameters for laser processing materials. It may be used by designers for parameter selection for processing new materials or parameter modification when working across systems.

Full textAbstract:
Garden histories since the mid 1990s have increasingly turned to studies of vernacular gardens as sites of identity formation. More recently, the development of environmental history and specifically urban environmental history has started to show how vernacular gardening in suburban and urban spaces has contributed to changes in urban environments. Relatively little work on home gardening history in this sense has been undertaken in the New Zealand context, while in Australia such work is well underway. This study augments knowledge of home gardening history in New Zealand by focussing on one urban area, Christchurch, known both as the 'Garden City' and as 'one of the most English cities outside of England'. An examination of gardening literature over the period from European colonisation in 1850 to the first visit to the city by a reigning monarch in 1954 highlights changes in gardening tropes rather than particular garden fashions or elements. The four principal tropes of abundance, beauty, protection and sustenance, each supported with a particular kind of ritual-like garden competition, show how gardening discourses related to ideas about the maintenance of the social and cultural order. A more objective measure of attitudes to gardens is gained by examining 1823 property advertisements across the period. Categorised by suburb this analysis shows a level of gardening variation across the city. Following this analysis, case studies of four suburbs in three areas were undertaken. These were based primarily on oral histories and reveal the extent of gardening variation across the city, and the limited but significant effect that gardening discourses had on gardens. This suggests methodological problems with many studies of vernacular gardens, as well as opportunities for further studies. This thesis also demonstrates the value of home gardening histories to urban environmental history, particularly with regard to the former colonies of the British Empire.

This research examines the trading strategy for Mongolian cashmere market and provides a list of suggestions to improve the efficiency and productivity of Mongolian cashmere products. Over 43 per cent of Mongolian households depend on livestock herding for some part of their incomes, most of them on goat herding, and provide income and employment for over 30 per cent of the population. Mongolia is the second largest raw cashmere producer in the world, producing over 20 per cent of world supply to China. Nevertheless, only about 30 per cent of the raw cashmere is used for producing high value added cashmere product, the capacity utilization rate remains low at all stages of production, and processing factories are losing their competitiveness. Our contribution is fourfold: (1) introducing Mongolian cashmere market; (2) identifying significant factors with respect to textile production; (3) providing a case study of the leading company in Mongolian cashmere industry to analyze their operational efficiency; (4) concluding this research with a list of suggestions for improving the economic value of Mongolian cashmere products as a whole. Our results shed light on the trading strategy of Mongolian cashmere products.

Cashmere is one of the biggest natural resources and fourth biggest export products of Mongolia, making up livelihood for almost one third of Mongolian population. The quality of Mongolian cashmere is excellent, and the price is very competitive compared to other producer countries. Mongolia may be far away from international luxury brand fabric’s main consumers, but the world’s fashion industry is increasingly interested in good fiber of Mongolian cashmere. This research examines trading strategy of Mongolian cashmere market, compared it with China’s (PRC) cashmere industry. Moreover, this study would like to understand purchasing intention of Mongolian consumers towards cashmere products using its quality, design and brand.

Cashmere is the one of main export product in Mongolia; furthermore cashmere is the highest non-mineral export earner in Mongolia. So increase cashmere export to foreign market, it will bring significant contribution to the Mongolian economy. Gobi Cashmere Company is the largest cashmere company in Mongolia. The company accounted for most percentages of Mongolian cashmere export to foreign market. This company is an integral part of Mongolian cashmere industry. The aim of this research is to predict Mongolia cashmere sales volume (the sales of Gobi Company as example) in foreign, domestic and total market of 2017 and 2018 based on sales from 2010 to 2016. The results of GM (1, 1) show that the growth rate will be 22.10%, 20.58%, and 20.82% for foreign, domestic, and total market respectively. As for the Mongolian economic indices affecting the sales of Gobi Company in foreign, domestic and total market from 2010 to 2016, the results of GM (1, N) show that labor force participation rate and money supply rank as the top two factors for foreign, domestic and total market. It is hoped the results of this research bring a contribution to the economic development of Mongolia; and this research will be used for development gateway of Mongolian cashmere industry in the future.

We examine the export strategy for Mongolian cashmere market and provide suggestions to increase the finished products while decreasing the raw material of cashmere. Cashmere is one of the largest official export from Mongolia, after mineral goods. Next to China, Mongolia is the second largest supplier of raw cashmere in the world with about 6,500 tons per year or 20 percent of the world market. In terms of dollar amount, washed cashmere (3,834 tons) and combed cashmere (347 tons) account for 90 percent of total export of cashmere-related products. The other 10 percent belongs to the exports of textile products (300 million units). Our contribution is threefold: (1) introducing Mongolian cashmere market; (2) identifying the key factors which has significant impacts on the cashmere export in Mongolia and (3) concluding this research with a list of suggestions for improving the economic value of Mongolian cashmere products. Our results shed light on the trading strategy for Mongolian’s export of cashmere-related products.

The cashmere industry is an important sector in Mongolia, and it has the potential to contribute to the growth of the economy and poverty alleviation. It provides income and employment for over a third of the population, and raw cashmere and cashmere products are the Mongolia’s third largest official export products after copper and gold. Mongolia is the world’s second largest producer of raw cashmere, producing over 20 percent of world supply next to the neighboring country China. Nevertheless, 55.9% of the raw cashmere is used for manufacturing finished and semi-finished products, the capacity utilization rate remains low at all stages of processing, and processing firms are losing their competitiveness. Firstly, through the review of related literature, this study finds out the key issues of cashmere industry in Mongolia. Then, based on Michael Porter’s Diamond Model with AHP method, this study develops a hierarchical framework including a goal, criteria, sub-criteria, and alternatives affecting the competitiveness of cashmere industry. Secondly, this study intended to develop questionnaires for experts including CEOs and managers from cashmere industry, government organizations, and research institutions. The main purpose is to find out the relations among the factors, and give them their weights of importance, and it points out its further competitive advantages of Cashmere Industry. As a result, 25 responses were received at the end of the survey. The collected data from the survey was analyzed through the AHP approach. We have calculated a composite weight to each factor and put the factors in order based on the weight that each factor has got. Our study suggests that the cashmere industry in Mongolia should further upgrade its working efficiency in order to create a more sustainable advantage. In addition, our results further confirm that a government can play a significant role in creating competitive advantages. Finally, on the basis of the above results, we proposed several policy recommendations for relevant organizations in order to help cashmere industry upgrade their competitiveness by increasing the capacity of producing more value added products.

The purpose of this research is to search for the feasible sales promotion strategies for Mongolian cashmere products and the factors that affect the preference of the sales promotion methods of cashmere products for Mongolian consumers. Two stages of survey were conducted to investigate the sales promotions methods that have been used for cashmere products worldwide and the preference of sales promotion strategies of cashmere products for Mongolian consumers. Results show that the majority of respondents were female and age group of 24-35 was the most active users of cashmere product. For the preference of sales promotion, there are about 51% of consumers prefer celebrate national day discount, 34% of consumers prefer buy one get free one, 47% of consumers prefer gift card, 32% of consumers prefer point of purchase, 33% of consumers prefer price packs and 69% of consumers prefer product warranties. Findings reveal that demographic variables might affect the preference of sales promotions methods of cashmere products. The suggestions and implications of results are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
In the past, products made of cashmere were known as being prestigious. Nowadays, cheap
cashmere products flood the market. The increased number of cashmere goats and the climate
change caused consequently the desertification not only of one of the major extraction areas
as the Inner Mongolia. Further fundamental issues have emerged: Global competition leads
frequently to depressed wages, producers have little connection to the final products. This
disintegration of the value chain may diminish the quality of products and jeopardize control
of social and environmental objectives. As a result of this development the term “slow
fashion” has emerged, beneath which a multitude of measures to counteract the
abovementioned challenges can be subsumed.
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate how companies can overcome the above
named issues and alter their business model for social and environmental impact creation.
Therefore, an extensive insight in the literature of the business model concept, corporate
social responsibility and the fashion industry is given to subsequently allow for a comparison
of 8 companies of the cashmere industry. Consequently, by analyzing the blocks of the
business model of these companies – customer segment, value propositions, key partners, and
key activities - it can be clarified, which one fulfills profit oriented and social objectives. It is
observed that the companies – even though they are all profit oriented – change and add
activities to their blocks to guarantee social and environmental impact creation without facing
a mission drift and react to the current threats of our globalized world.No passado, os produtos de caxemira eram considerados prestigiosos. Hoje em dia, existem no mercado muitos produtos de caxemira baratos. O número em crescimento de cabras de cachemira e as mudanças climáticas causaram consequentemente desertificação não só de zonas de maior extração da Mongólia Interior. Outros problemas emergiram como causas: a competição global frequentemente implica salários baixos, e assim os produtores têm uma ligação fraca com o produto final. Esta desintegração da cadeia de valor pode levar a diminuição de qualidade dos produtos e a danificar o controlo social e os objectivos ambientais. Como resultado deste desenvolvimento, foi criado o termo ‘slow fashion’, que consigo traz medidas para neutralizar os desafios acima mencionados. O objectivo desta dissertação é de investigar como as empresas podem ultrapassar estes problemas e alterar os próprios modelos de negócio para criar um impacto social e ambiental. Portanto, é conduzido um estudo abrangente da literatura relativa ao modelo do negócio, à responsabilidade corporativa social e à indústria da moda. Esta análise permite a comparação de 8 empresas que operam na indústria da caxemira. Consequentemente, analisando a estrutura destes modelos de negócio – o segmento de consumidores, a proposta de valor, os parceiros chave e as atividades principais – é possível identificar quais empresas são motivadas somente pelo lucro e quais por objectivos sociais. É observado que as empresas mudam e adicionam atividades as próprias estruturas para garantir um impacto social e ambiental sem extraviar a própria missão e reagindo as ameaças atuais de um mundo globalizado.

Mongolian cashmere industry has substantially supported income and employment for over 30 percent of Mongolian population in the past 35 years and this industry maintains its herders’ traditional lifestyle and preserves Mongolian culture. On the other hand, there were around 400 thousand international tourists traveled to Mongolia every year in the past decade and the number is increasing dramatically. However, the relationship between international tourists’ purchase intention and actual behavior towards Mongolian cashmere products, especially mechanism of tourists’ actual behavioral control (i.e. price, country of origin, material, and design) has gained too little attention previously. In view of this, the main purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship mentioned above. Based on empirical analysis of 310 samples, we found that price can replace the actual behavioral control variable on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) which indicates that the price can exert influence on the relationship between purchase intention and actual behavior. In particular, when price integrated with the purchase intention, the predicting power of these two variable increases on actual behavior. The study concluded that concern on price as an efficient tool to compete Mongolian cashmere industry into the international market. Hopefully, this research may provide the modest constructive reference with empirical evidence to the related organizations for developing Mongolian cashmere industry and its international tourism.

Mongolia is the world second-largest producer of raw cashmere, accounting over 20 percent of the world supply, after China. Additionally, raw cashmere and cashmere related products are Mongolia’s third largest export product by volume after copper and gold. Against the background, the main objective of this study is to identify the critical success factors in the supply chain management of the cashmere industry in Mongolia by integrating the practical experience and expertise from the government, industry, and academia. From literature reviewing, we identified five criteria and seventeen sub-criteria. Furthermore, Fuzzy Delphi method was adopted to identify the importance of each sub-criterion. Then, a Hierarchical Analysis (AHP) method was used to prioritize the critical success factors (sub-criteria). Results demonstrated that the top five dimensions in order are “competition,” “sales and marketing strategy,” “production strategy,” “macro environment,” and “logistics strategy.” This implies that, “competition” is the most important issue when implementing supply chain management. The top six assessment factors in order are “Elimination of trade impediments,” “Price stabilization,” “Encourage product differentiation,” “Establishment of Production and Marketing Alliance,” “Establishment of cashmere industry data bank in terms of domestically and internationally,” and “Increase of Government subsidy”. Finally, the result of this study could have considerable value to the Mongolian cashmere industry, providing knowledge that could enhance the competitiveness in the international markets.
