1. What are the benefits to Li & Fung’s customers of working with the company? Why do companies like The Limited outsource the coordinationof manufacturing to Li & Fung, rather than do it themselves?
We think the benefits of being Li & Fung’s costumers is that they have a big network andcontacts, all over 40 countries , they are offering us different kind of quality, at the most attractive price. Also they had a minor time between an order and thetime of delivery. That’s the reason because companies like The Limited choose to outsource the coordination of their manufactures, because maybe they don’t havethe experience, to choose the best supplier, or the export quotas the labor costs, and so on.
