5 CULTURAL AWARENESS IN BUSINESS: Spanish Siesta Traditionally, the Spanish take a siesta in the middle of the day: a 2-3 hour break to have lunch and a short sleep (a nap).

ZIP code is American English for postcode, and Sarah Zeb s is SZ4 6HH Certain sites in the south are sure to be situated near to the city zoo 5

6 ROLE-PLAY - THE MEETING CASE STUDY: Zara is considering moving all of its production from Spain to China. This will reduce labour costs by 200% but will increase transport costs and give a longer delivery period from 10 weeks to 16 weeks. CHAIRMAN & FAMILY MEMBERS: The Company is losing market share to strong competition but you do not want to move production away from your home country to China. For you it is not the solution, it will be fatal. You believe that better production is the answer, and you have a lot of experience. The problem is that you only own 25% of the company and shareholders want more profit. Present reasons for more investment in technology, machinery and staff training. SHAREHOLDERS: You see the moving of production to China as the only way the company can compete. If the company restructures and invests, it will be very expensive and you don t want to take the risk. The Chairman is being sentimental and unrealistic, and although he built the company up from nothing he is going to bankrupt it if you don t explain the reality of the global economy. Present reasons why production should be moved to China. Think about competition, profit demands, good labour skills etc. THE MEETING: Try to find a solution and practise using the Past Simple Tense, the Vocabulary of Ability & Inability when discussing the theme. 6

8 Zara intermediate level Audio-script 1 Zara - intermediate Amancio Ortega is Spain s richest man, and the Chairman of Inditex, the company that owns Zara. Ortega started his company in 1963 with $25 and opened the first Zara shop in Galicia, Spain in1975. He comes from a poor family. His father worked for the train company and his mother was a cleaner, and at the age of 13 Ortega started work in shirt factory. At the age of 17 he quit his job and with his small investment bought cheap fabric in Barcelona, and began to make low-cost fashionable clothes. He sold the clothes to local shops, and with the profits he was able to open a small factory. The speed of production and good quality were very important factors to his early success. In 1975, Ortega opened his first Zara shop. His strategy was to rent the best location possible, directly opposite the most important shop in town. The rent was expensive but the location was crucial because the footfall in the area was really high. Zara s clothes were instantly popular with the younger generation and in 2008 the company had sales of approximately $10 billion. Audio-script 2 Zara - intermediate So, what are the business strategies that make Zara successful? Firstly, Zara keeps production in Spain and Portugal, and this means up to 15% higher labour costs, but enables shorter delivery times. Secondly, Zara's production cycles are much faster than those of its rivals, H&M, Gap and Next. A new Zara garment takes 5 weeks from design to delivery, but at H&M it takes 12 weeks. This means that the traditional 4 seasons of the fashion year have been replaced by as many as 12 seasons. Next, clothes are made in small quantities to avoid over-production, and styles are replaced quickly with more new designs. This creates a limited opportunity to buy, which is attractive. Another advantage is the range of products. Over 10,000 new items are launched each year, compared with the 2,000 to 4,000 at Gap. But things are changing at Zara. In 2007 the company moved some of its production to Eastern Asia, although the bulk of its manufacturing remains in Europe. China now produces 12.5% of Zara s clothes and this could cause problems with future delivery speeds. 8
