Dear Sir/Madam, Could you please post the below information of Springer book publication announcement through AIB-L. Many thanks! Stay safe and healthy! Cheers, Eve ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear colleagues, Dr Eve CHAN, Assistant Professor of the Faculty of Design and Environment at the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong, is pleased to announced the recent publication of a book, “Belt and Road Initiative - Collaboration for Success” by Springer, which she co-authored with Professor Angappa GUNASEKAREN, Dean at the School of Business and Public Administration, California State University, United States of America. “Belt and Road Initiative – Collaboration for Success” is part of the Textile Science and Clothing Technology<https://link.springer.com/bookseries/13111> book series (TSCT), which are a series of studies that analyze the critical factors that promote and impede textile & clothing (T&C) production and trade in the Belt & Road (B&R) countries, and the forces that drive the restructuring and transforming of global T&C supply chains and operations in the B&R context. The book also offers insights into the challenges and opportunities for T&C manufacturing in the B&R countries through interviews with T&C experts, and examines how Hong Kong can strengthen its “super-connector” role by facilitating sustainable trade and development in the T&C industries, as well as discusses the impact of global trade wars on T&C trade. The studies presented in this book involve topics that range from the macro-economy to international business environment and strategies, logistics and supply chain, policy changes and sustainability. The studies are descriptive, theoretical and empirical analyses that explore T&C business and management related opportunities and challenges that are derived from the B&R Initiative. An econometric analysis with the gravity model is applied to T&C trade and extended to cover other areas that have not been considered in previous studies, such as production costs, export supply chain costs, technologies, demographical factors, and factors related to the business environment and policies, including qualitative variables. Studies that have conducted in-depth interviews and linear regression analyses are also presented which explore new factors for T&C trade and production relocation to B&R countries.
