Abstract

Here I compare the characteristics of supplier location for Gap Inc. and FAST RETAILING CO., LTD. by analyzing the Supplier List released recently by the major apparel corporations. I also clarify the background of differences in the supplier location by examining the location features and the location factors of overseas subsidiaries of the Japanese corporation, using overseas subsidiary data and corporate information. The results show the following. （1） The consigned factories of Gap Inc. exceed those of FAST RETAILING CO., LTD. in terms of the number of factories and countries. Additionally, more than 90% of their suppliers are located in the Asian region and with China having the most. However, there are locational differences in expanding their suppliers in each region and each country. （2） This can be attributed to the differences in the corporations’ location strategies and their location environments.
