1.1 INTRODUCTION:
At last, the main goal of the research was to analyze the following subjects:
3
4
In the without the practical knowledge, theoretical knowledge is valueless. From this
point of philosophy department of Accounting of Islamic University, kushtia has
introduced an internship program with a view to achieve practical knowledge associate
with the different fields of business. So after academic education this internship program
was great opportunity for me to see the real business world, acquire practical knowledge
and to be a smarter world business professional. For this reason to do my internship in
Four Knit Wear Limited a garment industry I communicate with a forwarding letter
that was issued by the Department of Accounting of Islamic University, kushtia with my
curriculum vita. I am very much grateful to the authority of Four Knit Wear Limited for
giving me the opportunity of doing my internship in this organization.
The study will disclose present scenario of merchandising system and Practices at Four
Knit Wear Ltd. The topic “Merchandising of Four Knitwear Ltd.” gave me an
opportunity to have an exposure to the working environment and on – the – job
experience in merchandising of Four knitwear Ltd. In Bangladesh we specially means
by “Merchandising” the merchandising of garments. A merchandiser is the most
important person in a garment. All works in garments factory under the direction of a
merchandiser. So merchandising is a challenging profession in a garments factory or area.
If a merchandiser cans shipment the product properly, the buyer will be pleased on him
and will get more order from them. So development of the merchandising profession will
develop the textile area of Bangladesh.
The main objectives of this study are scrutinize the merchandising system of Four
knitwear Ltd. Academic knowledge is not perfect, practical knowledge is essential with
it. The objectives of the study are to gather knowledge through practical work. It will
fulfill the experience through theoretical as well as practically. So it is essential to rapid
development of merchandising of a company especially in Textile Company. Textile is
4
5
the most important area of earning foreign currency. The followings are the main
objectives of the present study:
To find out some problems and limitations of merchandising of Four knitwear Ltd.
There are so many textile industries in Bangladesh. Four knit Wear limited is one of
them. It is a small textile industry compare than others. There are only three merchandiser
works. Above 230 labors and 40 staffs works. There is no dyeing and printing and
embroidering machine. The study does not cover dyeing, printing and embroidering area.
I am the first person who has done internship on merchandising system of Four Knit
Wear Ltd. But some other persons who have done internship on merchandising system of
other company that are given below:
It appears that merchandising is the most important and essential part of textile. But
unfortunately in Bangladesh, merchandising planning and controlling is reported to be
unsound in case of private sector industrial undertaking. It indicates that merchandising
5
6
planning and controlling is extremely poor in all textile sectors like four knitwear Ltd. In
Bangladesh which in has adversely affected quality of the individual units. So far our
knowledge goes; there is no other study on the subject. The rationality of merchandising
system is stated bellow:
Actually, I have not faced any kind of mentionable problem in my research at Four knit
Wear Ltd. Several levels of officers, employees helped me in several conditions.
Though, I have faced a few problems, which I should mention to depend on the research.
The followings are some problems:
1. The officers of several departments failed to give me enough time for their
business.
2. The merchandisers of they are always busy, so they could not sufficient records,
facts and figures are not available.
3. Usually Company is not willing to provide their actual data of financial statement
because of their security.
4. Personal barriers like inability to understand some official terms; office decorum
etc. creates a few problems to me.

There is no project, which is free from assumptions. For every research some
assumptions will have to be made before starting a project. The assumptions are made
about the study with respect to the organization prevailing concepts and practices in the
present environment.
In some cases assumptions will be correct which lead to the achievements of goal. But in
certain other cases it may be limited by many some situations, thus not obtaining the

It appears that merchandising management is one of the key areas of garments sector. But
unfortunately, in Bangladesh merchandising management planning and controlling is
reported to be unsound I indicates that merchandising management planning and
controlling is extremely poor in entire garments sector in Bangladesh, which in turns, has
adversely affected the getting order from abroad. In practice, I see some problems when I
investigate merchandising management system in Four Knit Wear ltd.
A. Lack of proper communication of different level of department.
B. Failed to follow merchandising management technique like buyer
attention technique, sampling techniques, order delivery
techniques etc. for what that reason it failed some time to
determine target order quantity.
C. All the people are very helpful at Four Knit Wear limited. Again
some people use find they are agree to help me but did not agree
to teach.
D. There is no specific training and research department in Four
Knit Wear limited for internally develop employees and
workers.
E. Company should evaluate not only the responsibility of the
merchandiser but also the efficiency of the merchandiser.
F. In this company they (merchandiser) do not keep any record in the
computer for further needed. They keep record only for present
need.
G. Pricing is the most important for better merchandising, but I do
get a clear idea how they determine price. They are interest to
know this to their junior merchandiser.
H. Merchandiser still use old model computer for their
communication.
I. There is a no permanent marketing merchandiser of this company.
Without marketing merchandiser a garments company do not get
order from buyers.
J. So it is very much necessary to control the discipline.
