Abstract

With a diverse supply chain and members that range in many characteristics, there was a need to learn what, if any, supply chain member’s individual characteristics may have an effect on EI. As a first step in understanding EI in the apparel industry, this study investigated the global supply chain at the individual level of the supply chain member and how EI could be affected by certain demographic characteristics. The specific objectives of this study were to determine if EI is affected by gender, ethnicity, age, and years working in the apparel industry for global apparel supply chain members.
