【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this research is to investigate whether a balance of technology andmanagement could be used in order to sustain a viable U.S. yarn production industry. It isimportant to note that the focus of this study is on short-staple yarn products, sosecondary data analysis did not include all types of yarn.The methodology used in this study consisted of two phases. Phase I was ananalysis of secondary sources. This phase was performed by collecting data from manysources, including government and public organizations. Phase II used the analysis andinterpretation of the information gathered from Phase I to develop the questionnaire andsurvey used in the interviews and online surveys.Phase II was primary research and this was subdivided into Phase II-A and PhaseII-B. The interview questionnaire was used, not only to obtain additional information tosupplement Phase I, but also to confirm some of the preliminary conclusion which hadbeen attained from Phase I data. The sample for Phase II-A consisted of 12 respondentsfrom nine U.S. textile companies from the fiber and yarn mills and auxiliary sectors.Phase II-B utilized an online survey developed by the researcher. The survey was used toobtain the information from 14 respondents belonging to 14 companies in the textileindustry. These respondents were mostly located in the CAFTA region. These resultsrepresent the customer’s opinion side of main drivers that influence their decision topurchase yarn from either U.S. or other countries.Results reveal the impact of globalization on the U.S. yarn manufacturing industry, the position of U.S. yarn industry in the global scenario, the key drivers that influence yarn purchasing decisions, and the areas to which the U.S. yarn manufacturers should focus their resources in order to stay competitive or indeed survive.
