The idea of sharing is not a new concept. For example, offering a friend a ride is a familiar concept of sharing resources for free. However, what is new about sharing is the ability to capitalize off sharing services for payment. Smartphone applications have given rise to what has been dubbed the “sharing economy”.

I chose three main products which were hot during the following seasons and I began to produce the ones considered hot in the immediately following season. I also hold the production for the products which would be popular two or three seasons ahead to avoid holding costs. I usually could bid my finished goods fast and get rid of them right away, since I negotiated a short-term delivery. I produced ahead using medium high quality, like fifty quality cotton, when my reputation was low. I produced…
