Introduction

History: Nike is today the largest manufacturer of athletic footwear, clothing and equipment, which was sold in 2010 with international sales revenue of more than US $ 34 billion, up from US $ 20 billion in 2011, revenue more than 40% in the last 7 years Jump.

An impressive achievement in the global market dominated by trusted rivals such as Adidas, Puma, K-Swiss and Under Armour, It competes with the Sports Market. Many analysts expect that Adidas sales are rapidly declining in comparison to Adidas’s sales battlefield in America (KUSH).

Vision: Nike Inc.’s vision is “to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world.” The company further states that everybody is an athlete, based on Nike founder Bill Bowerman’s statement, “If you have a body, you are an athlete.” This mission statement shows the company’s planning goal of reaching out to the worldwide leisure and sports footwear, apparel and tools market.

Human resources: We have our dedicated workforce in our area to measure and develop our HRM capabilities to our suppliers. Over the last several years, these engagements were often part of an integrated approach to Nike’s Lean Management Framework. Those activities include:

• Assessing supplier management strengths and weaknesses and identifying development opportunities.
• Focusing on supplying coaching and consulting to strengthen the HRM system, how to attract, develop and engage your workers.
• Develop equipment for measurement of worker engagement and searching chances for investment (Strengthening human resources management, 2019)

Product segment: In demographic divisions(Segment), they include age, race, family income and education level. Apart from this, it was seen that among the majority of respondents, professionals from various fields like engineers, software professionals, executive employees etc. are included. Who is 38% of our database? While 36% were students from different areas. Other people form designers and athletes etc. Further study is done on the behavior of the above categories of consumer, which shows that our consumer is well educated and knows very well about the product. The second segmentation focuses on geodymographics and proximity. The basis behind geodemographics is that people who are equal in income, culture, and attitude, naturally move towards each other. When you ask for a store your zip code while making a purchase, it is using geomorphology as a partition technique. (Market Segmentation of the Nike Company, 2018)

Competition: Rivalry in the sports industry is very intense. Nike competes with many athletic and leisure shoe and apparel companies around the world like Puma, adidas,under armour, reebok and asics (nike bibliography). The brand faces competition in every aspect of business, but the biggest competitior of Nike is Adidas. In recent time adidas beat Under Armour for getting the 2nd place in market for biggest sports brand. Nike still has plenty of room to go before Adidas or the underarm armour is anywhere near to catch it. The company has an ambitious plan to reach $ 50 billion in revenues worldwide by 2020, which is expanding rapidly in the consumer business on a large scale (GREEN, 2016).

Peest:

Political: Political factors are especially important for the backend of a company – the part we normally do not see. Most of today’s political changes affect only how a company can produce its goods or how much they can earn. For Nike some are,

• The United States, Nike’s country, to speak of ‘Country’, there are great policies for development which are especially valuable to this corporation. These include low-interest rates and well-organized international tax agreements.
• Various political conflicts can always make the customs procedures difficult, or stop imports and exports.

Envirnmental: Environmental issues are of increasing importance. Of course, there are only a few factors that affect Nike in this regard, but they say:

• Nike’s large scale production factory, without any doubt, is harming the environment. Not only do they leave too much air pollution like most factories, but Nike’s production centers occasionally go into polluting rivers.
• Nike also shows the promise of a change in its current practices, in which the ‘Echo’ is a determination to become.

Economical: Nike sells a well-respected middle-class product, so they are less sensitive to economic factors than others, but some economical things are,

• A market collapse with many other big brands can be bad news for Nike. Consumers can choose to switch to low-end, cheaper products, if it was going to happen, or even when it becomes easy to produce a decent level of quality.
• With the help of ‘deep pockets’ of finance, Nike has the resources to pursue after the emerging emerging markets in which they could sell the products.

Social: Public relations has never been more relevant than today A good social situation matters a lot to modern corporations, Its worth to see this factors:

• An increase in health consciousness across the world means that more and more people are heading towards better life style. These people will undoubtedly buy many sports apparel, something that will make Nike very pseasant.

Technology: Technology gives companies the ability to innovate in so many different ways. By interacting with customers to design products, technology provides value to organizations like Nike. There are some technical factors affecting it:

• Social media allows things to fly or away faster than ever before. Nike is doing well with the use of social media to build its brand, but it can be a double-edged sword if used incorrectly.
• Nike also offers the opportunity to use valuable information-based matrix for technical advancement, thereby allowing them to optimize targeting and production and maximize revenue (BUSH, 2016)

Competition’s five forces are:

1. competition from entrants
2. competition from substitutes
3. competition from established rivals
4. bargaining power of suppliers and
5. bargaining power of buyers (KUSH).
