However, there is news that says that they are often accused of employing children - minors. And that statement is certainly making a name Nike is a little tarnished.
History of Nike
1964
Based from the name of the Greek goddess of the means of victory, Nike was founded in 1964 when an athlete once mahasis accounting at the University of Oregon named Phillip Knight, mengagas running shoes imported from Japan to compete with German brands such as Adidas and Puma were later dominated the U.S. market. The advantage is that the Japanese shoes cheaper because labor is cheaper in Japan.
1970
He started selling shoes around with a purpose athletics stadium, where sales are slowly but surely increasing dramatically. In the 1970s, Knight and his growing company saw the beginning of the revolution and start jogging mmasaran products for non-professional runners as well. He then immediately open up a broader market and change the image of running shoes to fashion shoes and attract everyone from children to adults to wear.
1979-present
In 1979, Nike running shoes are the major ones in the country - states. And this year, Nike has mastered half the market in the U.S. and with revenues reaching U.S. $ 149 million. In 1980, Nike had reached 50% market share in the U.S. athletic shoe market, and the company went public in December of that year. Its growth was due largely to the advertising "word-of-foot" (to quote a Nike print ad the late 1970s), from television commercials. Nike television commercials nasionl first took place in October 1982 during the broadcast of the New York Marathon. Ads created by advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy, which had formed several months sbelumnya in April 1982. Can we look like in the mid-1980s, Nike company is not deterred, until in the end there is a strong competitor vukup Reebok. At the time the sale is above Nike Reebok had suddenly. But in 1990 Nike re-lead the company, especially since the introduction of the shoes "Air Jordan" supported and promoted by basketball star Michael Jordan.
Nike is the company ethos involves a strong dedication to sports and fitness. Staff at the company headquarters, Nike World Campus in Beaverton, Oregon, is expected to spend several hours each day in the gym. They are described by the director of Nike as "athletic, outdoor, lets-do-it-together types.
Companies want to be seen, in the words of the OWII, as a young, American and hi-tech enterprise, devoting a lot of attention to research and development.
Nike developments in Asia
Apart from a brief but unsuccessful experiment with manufacturing in the U.S., Nike shoes are always made in Asia, first in Japan, then in South Korea and Taiwan, and more recently in China and Southeast Asia. Nike began production in South Korea and Taiwan in 1972, attracted by cheap labor there, and was soon joined by other companies including Adidas and Reebok. But Nike then initiate further steps. Instead of having their own factories, they contracted local production in Korea and Taiwan.
As the company Nike boss Phil Knight said: "There is no definite value in making something. Value is added by careful research, by innovation and marketing" (Katz 1994). Nike now basically follow the idea of a designer and marketer of footwear. Industry then performed by suppliers Korea and Taiwan. Again, other companies follow this model.
In the 1980s, Nike tried to make production in China, in partnership with state-owned companies, but it is actually disastrous. Nike then move investments into Taiwan. Nike then take advantage of the labor costs are cheaper there.
In the late 1980's with the labor unrest in South Korea-increasing levels of wages and loss of control of the workplace by the Korean authorities - have made the country less attractive to investors, both foreign and domestic, who began looking for another location more fun. Nike then moved their operations to southern Thailand and Indonesia, in search of cheaper labor and less hassle. Wages in both countries touted as one of the cheap because it only uses a quarter of the rates paid in South Korea. Some associations Nike is headquartered in Taiwan also established in Southeast Asia.
Another reason for this shift is that in 1988, both South Korea and Taiwan to lose preferential access to the U.S. market, which has long as they enjoy the status of "developing countries" under the General System of Preferences (GSP), U.S.. Korea and Taiwan investors and then moved to a factory in Thailand, Indonesia and China by making use of GSP privileges from poor countries. Of the seven top suppliers of Nike sports shoes in 1992, three is a Taiwanese company that manufactures its products in China, the other three operations in South Korea, and also in Indonesia, one is a company in Thailand.
The development of Nike in Indonesia
Nike has been operating in Indonesia since 1988 and nearly a third of the existing shoe is a product of it. In a press interview in November 1994, the company Nike in Indonesia coordinator, Tony Band, said the company used a total of 11 contractors in Indonesia. Among these is the base marks associated company Nike in South Korea and Taiwan, which are also at the same time produce for other brands like Reebok, Adidas and Puma.
The relationship between Nike and contractors in Indonesia is quite close. Each Nike personnel in each factory in Indonesia to check the quality and workmanship that meet the stringent requirements of Nike. Most of the factories producing for Nike is located in a newly developed area for light industry and Serang in Tangerang, west of Jakarta. In the Korean-owned factory, top management held by the Koreans. mid-level managers and supervisors can also come from Korea or Indonesia. But all production workers are from Indonesia, especially young women in the 16-22 age group, usually workers from Java
