Don't forget that large manufacturers also manufacture trends as well as best as they can. That's the easiest way to sell. Someone I knew that worked in clothing design said that all the big manufacturers decide either by observation, discussion in industry journals, or collaboration that e.g. olive green (not the current example) is going to be the thing this year so customers are essentially forced to buy the newest "trend" due to lack of choice.
- tennineeight 6y agoWhy is this any different than collusion? This sounds like multiple competitors deciding together to reduce market competition.
- tehjoker 6y agoIt's different strategies for collusion, but it's more illustrative to discuss how they're doing it. Talking about collusion in the abstract makes it sound like a conspiracy theory. Also, the difference between collusion and collaboration is whether you think parties having discussions is bad or good.
