“The availability of merchandise cuts across just about every classification of goods. ” Visit to the Foreign Market Generally only the very large retailers make direct visits to foreign markets for their purchases but small business can too. Buyers who represent department stores, chain organizations, catalog companies, and Internet Web sites in the United States frequent the foreign markets at regular intervals. It is not uncommon for large companies to send teams of merchandisers that include the general merchandise manager, divisional merchandise managers, buyers, and assistant buyers on foreign buying expeditions. Very often these purchases require significant expenditures and necessitate a team effort. Buyers can familiarize themselves with foreign markets through the U.S. Department of Commerce as well as by communicating with the commerce departments of the countries in question. Many large retail organizations maintain relationships and representation with foreign agents who plan for the buyers’ visits in much the same manner the resident buying offices do in the United States. Purchasing may take place at the vendor’s headquarters, as with a great deal of domestic purchasing, or at trade expositions that are organized at regular times. These international fairs or expositions are found all over the world and feature a wealth of different merchandise classifications. By attending these expos rather than the individual resource showrooms, the buyer is able to cover the market more quickly. Events such as PLMA World of Private Labels, for example, in Hong Kong enable the major retailer to establish a relationship with a supplier to produce a private-label collection. Instead of having to explore numerous regions for this

plan, everything could be accomplished under one roof. Comparisons from vendor to vendor can be made at the expo, with an ultimate decision made in less time. The availability of merchandise cuts across just about every classification of goods. However, it is the fashion buyer who puts the most time and effort into international visits. So demanding is the merchandising of fashion items, that the direct visit, if possible, is the best way to study a market. In this way, the buyer can assess what is available. Those who buy at the uppermost levels of couture fashion regularly attend the openings of the collections in such European cities as Paris, Milan, and London. In Paris, the business of fashion is so important that the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne regulates the industry. This body offers membership only to designers who meet specific requirements. Its jurisdiction includes rules concerning sale of merchandise, copying, and times that members can show their collections to prospective buyers. The “time” role makes certain that there is no overlapping of the major shows. The advance notification of the times of the various presentations enables buyers to schedule themselves so that each event can be covered. There is no need to choose one show over another. Most buyers enjoy their experiences in Paris because the market comes under such strict regulation.

Social Media and the Employment Relationship This paper was written by Janice M. Karlen from City University of New York.
The increased collection and perusal of personal information gleaned from social media platforms by government, data brokers, businesses, and the global community has spurred concern regarding the issue of individual privacy and the employment relationship. This study examines privacy rights, concerns of employees both in and outside of the workplace and those of prospective employees in the recruitment process. Industry self-regulation and government oversight are discussed as are options for organizations and individuals to be proactively responsible for their privacy. (pg. 54)
