For example, London-based Rude designed T-shirts, but had no means of production. They joined forces with a businessman who had recently purchased an ailing textile factory. This operation was small enough to adapt its service to Rude's specific needs, such as changing product lines at short notice and experimenting with new production methods. The manufacturer received a valuable financial boast to his business, while still retaining autonomy. Rude is now a leading producer of high-fashion T-shirts, worn by Madonna and Kylie Minogue. Business Coupling can be applied to most types of SMEs and operate on a long- or short-term basis. |
