Centre back = 1/4 Height girth + 3.5 cm = 48.5 cm

Waist to hip = Centre back + (20 to 22) cm = 69.5 cm

Length of the pattern = 1/2 Height girth = 90 cm

Neck depth = 1/6 (1/2 Chest girth) + 0.5 cm = 8.83 cm

Centre front = Armhole depth + 21 cm = 52 cm

Across back = 1/8 Chest girth + 13 cm = 25.5 cm

Scenario Based Planning

“The business environment is uncertain. Business is about taking risks. Strategic management is about exploiting opportunities within a context of uncertainty about the future.” (Heijden)

Scenario planning functions as a strategic management tool, often as a part of decisions making. A definition is offered by Schwartz: “The scenario process provides a context for thinking clearly about the impossible complex array of factors that affect any decision”.

Working with scenarios creates a common language in the organization which gives management and employees an opportunity to talk about all the influencing factors and the “what-if” stories of the future. What if this and that happened, what would we do then and how can we prepare for such an event?

Scenario Based Planning (SBP) is a strategic management tool that can guide the decision makers to elicit the right choices for strategic planning. This is a thinking concept where the planner looks for the cause behind the events occurring in the business environment, recognizes a system and thereafter frames those systems into scenarios.

BCG matrix

Portfolio plan of Boston Consulting Group (BCG) that has been developing since 70's is based on the assessment analysis of existing products, possibilities of  modifying products or manufacturing new ones. Starting from researches done by BCG, it has been concluded that a strategic position of business is determined in accordance with relative market participation and a market growth rate.

Relative market participation is considered to be a market participation of a product in relationship with a leading competitor in the production of similar garments.

Growth rate can be positive (meaning growing market), nought (standing for stagnated market) and negative (i.e. falling market in future). Market growth rate is indicated with "low" and "high" in BCG matrix meaning that market growth rate of that garment manufactures is lower or higher than growth of an entire economy of the region.
