Achievement/Findings:

Education is a complex product. Therefore, students are likely to have multiple goals, automatically complicating the evaluation process. Moreover, the objectives of education are too general to be operationalized. Global forces have shaped the fashion industry into a complex and far-reaching phenomenon. As a result, the need for a new type of professional has emerged; one who is capable of working within this highly dynamic, global environment. An increasingly expanding global economy and competition from developing nations require the companies conduct business and maintain market share on an international platform.
