Divided into three parts, it includes Macro environment, consumers psychological contexts and their latest interests. In the Macro analysis, it explains the impacts of policy, economy, social cultures, technologies, environment and Covid-19 pandemic. Mostly, millennials and Gen Z are the main research objects and target consumers.For consumers psychology, it is analysed by the reworked Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory for their needs of digitalisation, following trends, emotional connections, self-expression and sustainability. Thus, embracing virtualisation technologies is the way fashion brands in Figure 1: Courtesy of Getty Images 4 5 t the digital age, the lines between virtuality and reality become increasingly difficult to be distinguished (Langton, 2019). As the quality of technology has developed, digital and mixed reality fashion has taken advantages Aof it (Drinkwater, 2019), which have contributed to virtual reality experiences, virtual shopping and games (Love Magazine, 2019). When it comes to gaming, it is the next foremost thing in fashion since it has become an indispensable part of young generation and its potential of storytelling. Therefore, it is vital to integrate fashion with gaming and digital world (Owen, 2019). Players have been investing money on digital equipments such as apparel, weapons, beauty, accessories and decorations. Inspired by gamings, digital clothing has already been proved that it has the much more potential market in the future because of catering to the sustainability issue and young generation’s demands (Mcdowell, 2019). In terms of sustainability, it INTRO- is still a hot issue in the fashion industry for the reason that it is one of the most polluting industry with carbon emission, waste of water, and bury clothing in the landfill (Johnsen, 2020). By coincidence, digital fashion corresponds with the need of sustainability. For environmental-minded young consumers , they have changed their shopping attitudes and behaviours for prefer sustainability- focused brands and seek new ways to maintain balance between fashion and DUCTI- sustainability. In addition, young generation immerses in the virtual world of social media. Owing to express themselves and document their life, most young generation purposely post photos about their daily outfits styles and new fashion items they bought to manage their social media account homepages. Actually, fashion ON has shifted from streets to social media and those platforms are more likely to transform into virtual runway (Grubak, 2018). Eager for newness products that convey their personality and continue buying new clothes make them feel stressed (D’Arpizio et al., 2018; Hanbury, 2019). Under this circumstance, it has caused Instagram-inspired overconsumption. After taking photos, many items lie in their endless wardrobes or just are worn several times. Thus, digital fashion is making sense, and it is tend to expand to a more virtual area. Could virtualisation technologies such as 3D and AR address these issues? 6 7 METHODOLOGY The aims of research were examining the context of fashion, exploring the future capacity of virtualisation fashion, discussing how fashion brands respond to the virtualisation technologies currently, and collecting relevant datas. On the purpose of analysing its potential, the author searched fashion websites with systematic literature reviews, academic journals and books. However, the report lacks primary research because of Covid-19. Firstly, some keywords such as 3D, augmented reality, virtual fashion, digital fashion, game, esports, millennials and Gen Z were typed into search area. The relevant results mostly came out from business of fashion, Ls:n global, Vogue Business, WWD and McKinsey. At this stage, the whole report structure was confirmed. Secondly, the ideas were complemented by academic journals. The journals were searched in the Science Direct, ResearchGate and WARC, including the keywords : consumer psychological, circular fashion, sustainability, consumer behaviours and virtualisation. Next, it turned to search database ( Mintel, Euromonitor, Statista) for the purpose of supporting ideas. They evidences that virtual fashion has huge potential and consumers tend to engage in it. Furthermore, the negative arguments were searched and used for debating. The dark side of virtualisation should be considered and evaluated. Additionally, there are some case studies as evidences for supporting report ideas. For example, Louis Vuitton collaborated with League of Legends, Burberry launched its own game called B Bounce, Carlings sold digital clothing, and the Fabricant created 3D animation digital clothing.

    Digital Transformation in the Sports Apparel Industry: The Case of Nike, Inc. Master Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the Degree Master of Science in Management (Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Leadership) Submitted to Prof. DDr. Arno Scharl Lukas J.M. Stangl 1521009 Vienna, 10th August 2020 I AFFIDAVIT I hereby affirm that this Master’s Thesis represents my own written work and that I have used no sources and aids other than those indicated. All passages quoted from publica- tions or paraphrased from these sources are properly cited and attributed. The thesis was not submitted in the same or in a substantially similar version, not even partially, to another examination board and was not published elsewhere. 10.08.2020 Date Signature I II ABSTRACT The global revenue of the sports apparel industry is larger than it has ever been before. Digital transformation has been a driver for the industry, leading to digital innovations within the industry. This has led to the fall of market leaders while creating opportunities for new market entrants by capturing market share through leveraging new technolo- gies. The company Nike, Inc. has been the market leader in the sports apparel industry for several decades and is known to be a forerunner in innovation. The purpose of this research is to examine how digital transformation has affected Nike, Inc. and the sports apparel industry and how it will shape the future. A secondary aim is to investigate how Nike’s customers perceive these changes and to scrutinize their digital needs and expec- tations. This research furthermore aims to conclude about the digital needs and expec- tations of Nike’s customers and if they align with Nike’s strategy.

At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted many losses: human, social and economic. What we are now experiencing is an unprecedented moment of crisis in modern history. However, it is during uncertain times that companies often come up with new ideas, converting the crisis into an opportunity, and adopting a long-term vision of future challenges. This prolonged disruptive situation is creating profound changes in consumer behavior and how companies are responding to these changes—prompting a debate about the future of the fashion and luxury industry. There is a general feeling of rethinking luxury and driving it in new directions, considering which business models will be feasible and more relevant in the new normal. Tradition and responsiveness, two elements that have always characterized luxury companies, will both be required to face great challenges in the post-COVID environment. We see the pandemic acting as a divider between the old way of doing business and the new scenario that is taking shape, characterized by changing consumer behavior. Hence, in this report, we talk about a new age for fashion and luxury and will explore the main trends that will drive the industry in the coming months.
