No matter how hard we work, there is always a gap with Western brands.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Companies in the East put a lot more emphasis on human relationships, while those from the West focus on the product, the bottom line. Westerners appear to have more of a need for achievement, while in the East there's more need for affiliation.
The Gap has always been an iconic, go-to brand that reminds me of my childhood.
Gap has always been about color, and we let a lot of competitors take that space from us.

Unfortunately, being a brand is really important nowadays.
Nothing has changed in our relationship with East West. We have no relationship with East West. We've been withholding our labour for almost seven years now.
