Using the website linked in earlier slides, explain how Nike operates as a global business. Consider the following questions in your answer. Where is the Headquarters located? Which regions are the main Nike consumers? Which regions are the main producers of Nike products? What is a contract factory? Can Nike be blamed if wages or conditions are poor in these factories? HOW NIKE OPERATES

WHY HAS NIKE SHIFTED ITS MANUFACTURING? ( GLOBAL SHIFT ) Why does Nike manufacture most of its products in Eastern Europe or South East Asia?

WHY HAS NIKE SHIFTED ITS MANUFACTURING? ( GLOBAL SHIFT ) Why does Nike manufacture most of its products in Eastern Europe or South East Asia? Increases its profits as workers in South East Asian countries like Vietnam, are paid less than workers in the USA or UK would be. Land to build factories is cheaper in countries like China, as they have subsidies (pay part of the cost) to encourage Nike to locate there and bring jobs. Countries like China and India are becoming increasingly wealthy and thus as a result a large market to sell Nike products to is opening up, manufacturing and selling in same location reduces transport costs.
