Turconi, Stefano: Achieving strategic agility - On the fast track to superior performance in fashion retail Strategy formulation and execution in the fast-fashion industry, GRIN VERLAG, März 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3640540034
Fashion retail has always been a highly competitive and fast-changing business where many chains have risen dramatically and then fallen just as quickly. Today, as many firms are struggling to compete while simultaneously managing their costs and delivering adequate returns, others are thriving in the face of shifting circumstances. In the past decade, a relatively new phenomenon called fast fashion has commanded the attention of the consumers, managers and investors. Fast fashion retail pioneers like Zara and H&M, with their super-responsive supply chains and efficient decision-making processes, are able to produce and distribute affordable high-end fashion at breakneck speeds. They relentlessly offer customers the cheap-chic products they want, where they want, avoiding any unnecessary faux pas. As a result, they enjoy higher profit margins than their competitors-an average of 16-plus percent versus a modest 7 percent for typical apparel or specialty-apparel retailers. And in European countries, where the concept began, this business represents anywhere from 5 to 18 percent of the total apparel market. An in-depth analysis of a set of fashion retailers has revealed some of the critical ingredients of success, distinguishing such factors from incidental ones. In essence, we found that what sets fast fashion companies apart from all other competitors is that they conceive strategy and its implementation as an iterative rather than a linear process. They intuitively yet consistently move through a loop, placing less emphasis on hierarchy and more on feedback, dialogue, group processes, understanding organisational complexity and dynamics, and limiting uncertainty. By moving through the iterative cycle of translating understanding into action, they are able to fashion superior strategies and performance.

Pehlivan, Ceyhun Necati: Financial Analysis and Valuation of INDITEX A Business Valuation Report and Theoretical Study, GRIN VERLAG, Oktober 2011, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3656021279
Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: -, - (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), language: English, abstract: In this study, we are interested in determining the value of the Spanish apparel giant INDITEX Group, now the world's largest clothing retailer. Its flagship chain store is well-known Zara. The Group also owns brands such as Massimo Dutti, Pull and Bear, Oysho, Uterqüe, Stradivarius and Bershka.In spite of volatile raw material costs, unstable world economy, financial crisis, currency risk exposure and fierce competition in the market, the growth of INDITEX is unstoppable.The Spanish Group now runs more than 5000 stores in 78 countries with a remarkable expansion into higher-growth emerging markets.INDITEX's cheap-and-chic line has changed the face of the industry. Thanks to its fast-fashion strategy and highly flexible supply chain, new designs can be created as the season moves along and hence rapidly adjust its supply to meet the customer's demand.INDITEX's balance sheet analysis shows a net negative working capital that can be explained by its business model. Profitability analysis such as EBITDA margin and ROIC, based on the NOPLAT calculations through income statement, demonstrates that its closest competitor H&M is slightly above INDITEX. Finally, cash flow analysis confirms the financial health of INDITEX and demonstrates that it is not facing any liquidity or insolvency problem.According to the DCF valuation, the target price is estimated at EUR 81, 38% higher than the current share price. A comparison with the market multiples valuation indicates a soaring target price. This difference leads us to conduct a scenario analysis focused on the best and the worst cases.
