dc.description.abstractThis work sought to answer the question: what are the effects of Globalisation on the Textile Industry of Ghana? There is a lot going on today on the global stage concerning Globalisation and its effects on life. As with any other phenomenon, it has both positive and negative effects. The focus of this work is on what influence Globalisation has had on the Ghanaian economy using the textile industry as a test case. The method used was to assess the necessary secondary data on the topic as well as primary data through the conduct of interviews. Primary data was obtained by interviewing some of the major companies in the industry, some smaller ones as well as other stake holders in the industry. Secondary data was obtained from research work already available, data from the Ghana Statistical Service, the Ministry of Trade and Industry among others. The results have proven that there is indeed a dwindling in the fortunes of the textile industry and were mainly attributed to influences coming from outside the economy. Major outcomes included the duplication of Ghanaian textile designs made of low quality and cheap. The smuggling of textile products into the country is still rampant despite state interventions. The recommendations on this work are that stakeholders in the industry need to do more to ensure the wellbeing of the industry. Also the government should get to the international stage to prevent the illegal duplication of Ghanaian textile products in order to protect the local industry instead of only preventing the smuggling of these products in to the country.;오늘날 세계화는 사람들의 삶에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 다른 현상과 마찬가지로 세계화는 부정적, 긍정적인 결과를 초래한다. 섬유산업 사례분석을 통해 이 논문은 세계화가 가나 경제에 어떤 영향을 미치는가에 대해 토론한다. 이를 위해 섬유산업 관련 주요 기업, 소규모 기업, 및 관련 이해 당사자들을 대상으로 실시한 인터뷰를 통해 1차 자료를 수집하고 분석하였다. 2차 자료는 기존 연구자료, 가나 통계서비스자료, 가나 통상산업부 자료 등을 사용하였다. 자료 분석 결과에 따르면, 현재 가나의 섬유산업이 사양길을 걷고 있는데 그 이유는 경제 이외의 요인에서 찾을 수 있다. 즉, 가나섬유제품디자인이 낮은 품질과 저가의 복제품으로 생산되고 있기 때문이다. 가나 정부가 통제를 실시하고 있음에도 불구하고 해외에서 생산된 섬유제품의 밀수입이 여전히 성행되고 있다. 이 논문은 섬유산업 이해당사자들이 국내 섬유산업의 성장을 위해 더 많은 노력을 기울일 것을 제안한다. 정부 또한 가나 섬유제품의 불법 복제를 막기 위한 국제적 노력뿐 아니라 이러한 복제제품이 국내로 불법 반입되는 것을 막고 지역 산업을 보호해야 할 것이다.-
