Athlete management
Problem(s) :
1. Manufacturing ethics Social issues about labor exploitation
2. Law suits
3. High endorsement fees paid to athletes High SA Expenses (selling and administrative)
Based on the analysis of Nike I/S, the growth of SA expense in 2002 -2003 is
not comparable (11.2%) with the growth of the sales (8.1%).
Measure Performance
Nike has good position in market
Financial liquidity is good
Primary threats is coming from:
– Contracted manufacturing(labor)
– Long-term endorser usage
Conclusion
There is a changing behaviour of the consumer in athletic shoe.
They are moving from sportswear to fashion-sportswear.
Unfortunately, Nike is still using the endorser that is not
fashionable, even though they are the champion in their area. It
was proven by the highest growth of SA expense in 2002-2003.
Recommendation
Try to generate sales from SA expense, by:
– Flexible endorser contract (not in long term)
– Lifestyle consideration in choosing the endorser
