companies that signed on to use logo • 2 year CCTV National Sports TV Channel sponsorship • Endorsements: Cleveland Cavaliers’ guard Damon Jones and Miami Heat’s center Shaquille O’Neal 25 Problems and Opportunities Problems and Opportunities Task 1: Problems for Li-Ning • How to segment the local market • Which segment should be targeted • How to develop positioning strategy for competitive advantage • Sectors already dominated • Will consumers be willing to pay higher prices • Without competing globally with big players Li Ning will be vulnerable in China 27 Problems and Opportunities Task 1: Environmental Influences • Differences in culture regarding sports – Find a niche: Decide what products to implement and where • Managing contracts – Both teams and individual athletes globally • Dealing with international companies within Chinese market – World Trade Organization: tariffs and trade barriers reduced – Sell at premium in China but offer lower international price – Avoid becoming vulnerable in own market • 15% in China vs. 50% in U.S. 28 Problems and Opportunities Task 1: Solutions • Specialize in specific sporting niche – Gain expertise – Develop recognition and trust in brand name à expand to varying sports • Brand name beats low prices internationally – American and Europe (sign of status) • Learn from example of big players – Not an innovator – Must follow the lead of successful brands 29 Problems and Opportunities Task 1: Solutions • 4 year contracts covering China and London Olympics – Sweden, Argentina – Opportunity to create brand awareness to consumers globally • Chinese developed new national obsession with sports and leisure activities – Fuel the fire – Keeping excitement about sports – Sign deal with famous athlete in China 30 Problems and Opportunities Task 2: Big Opportunity • 2008 Beijing Olympics offered a great opportunity for Li-Ning to sponsor Olympic athletes and teams • Having been held on Chinese soil, the company was able to – Further appeal to its domestic market – While attracting a broader, international audience 31 Problems and Opportunities Task 2: Basketball • Basketball’s popularity is growing rapidly in China – Basketball is already a popular sport in North America and Europe • It may be a while until Li-Ning becomes an international competitor in basketball – The company can benefit from targeting Chinese youth whose interest in the sport is growing 32 Problems and Opportunities Task 2: Tennis • Tennis is another sport whose popularity is growing in China • With the exception of female tennis players Li Na and Zheng Jie, China does not have any international stars – This has not hindered China’s growing interest in closely following international play – China has established numerous tennis clinics • Like basketball, Li-Ning can benefit from targeting Chinese youth whose interest in tennis is growing 33 Problems and Opportunities Task 2: Ping Pong (Table Tennis) • Ping Pong has strong roots in Chinese culture • Many of the world’s elite players have come from China – Their dominance has even triggered international rule changes in order to level the playing field in international competition • Considering China has had so much success in this sport, Li-Ning can take advantage of the opportunity by positioning themselves as the superior sponsor of the sport – Similar to how Nike has basketball, Adidas has running, and Under Armour has football 34 Problems and Opportunities Task 2: Gymnastics • Gymnastics is also an established popular sport in China – The sport’s great history is led by Mr. Li Ning • Similar to Ping Pong, no one company has positioned themselves as the superior sponsor of the sport – Given Mr. Li Ning’s experience in the field, Li-Ning has the opportunity to be the global sponsor of Gymnastics 35 Problems and Opportunities Task 3 Social Cultural Viewed as an exercise/leisure activity Practices Trading Consumer Sports has

More information on this campaign and the “Play Fair at Olympics Campaign report itself can be found at www.fairolympics.org The report includes information on Puma Fila, Umbro, Asics, Mizuno, Lotto, Kappa, and New Balance.

  • Nike Versus New Balance: Trade Policy in a World of Global Value Chains
    Volume 12 Issue 4 December 2014 Nike versus New Balance: Trade Policy in a World of Global Value Chains Case prepared by Simon BRODEUR1 and Professor Ari VAN ASSCHE2 United States Trade Representative (USTR) Michael Froman closed the door of his new office, walked to his window, and admired the glimmering Washington D.C. skyline. During his illustrious career as a government official, Froman had never wielded such power as he did now: he had just been nominated by President Obama to be the 11th USTR, serving as the president’s principal advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson on matters pertaining to international trade and investment. One of his main responsibilities would be to complete negotiations on the Trans- Pacific Partnership (TPP), an Asian-Pacific trading bloc built upon the pre-existing Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement between Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore. As of 2013, numerous nations had participated in the TPP negotiations, namely the United States, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam (Exhibit 1). The TPP was the most promising trade liberalization initiative since the Doha round of world trade talks, which stalled in 2008, and would cover approximately 40% of the world’s GDP.3 The multilateral talks could potentially deliver huge benefits for the U.S. economy, as the TPP would provide American companies with unprecedented market access to key players in the Asia- Pacific, the largest and fastest growing region in the world.4 Furthermore, it would allow consumers and importers to enjoy wider and cheaper access to the goods and services of TPP countries.

Contact: [email protected] Sneaker Culture Has Given Black Men Fashion Freedom While Creating Restriction Sneakers have become far more than a sport accessory when it was first introduced to the world over a century ago. They’ve become a part of pop culture--fashion, movies, television shows and music. Youths waiting in line for hours, days, even weeks near storefronts in oversized camping tents and sleeping bags has become the norm in the consumer industry. It’s the ultimate score to be one of the first people to acquire “that” sneaker. The sneaker that has been marketed for months with endless television and Internet ads is finally here. An accessory geared to materialistic teenage boys and financially struggling college-aged men, giving them an individual style of their own and above all, endless praise. Sneakers have led to the creation of a culture driven by freedom of expression and economic success. The trend also raises questions about the implications of race and masculinity. Figure 1: Attendee at a Sneakercon event in New York City, displays his sneaker collection for those interested in buying or trading.

    ZMENA BcA. Lukáš Beliansky Diplomová práca 2010 ABSTRAKT Témou diplomovej práce je návrh unisexovej lifestylovej obuvi a tašiek. Zameriavam sa na vývoj športovej módy a históriu prvých spoločností zameraných na športovú obuv. Teo- retická časť práce obsahuje históriu a popisuje medzníky v technologickom vývoji obuvi, akým bola vulkanizácia kaučuku, ktorá je základom pre výrobu podošiev športovej obuvi. Časť práce sa zaoberá historickým vývojom firmy BAŤA, ktorá je úzko spätá s mestom Zlín a mapuje najdôleţitejšie modely športovej obuvi tejto firmy. Teoretická časť rovnako obsahuje rozbor svetových značiek produkujúcich lifestylovú obuv a tašky. Bliţšie sa za- oberám značkami Adidas, Puma a Nike. Posledná časť obsahuje vývoj kabeliek a tašiek vo svete. Pribliţujem vývoj a tvorbu jednej s najznámejších značiek Louis Vuit- ton.V praktickej časti je opísaná filozofia, vývoj a tvorba modelov od návrhov aţ po ich realizáciu. Popisujem postup práce, pouţitý materiál a farebnú kombináciu výrobkov. Pri návrhu som vychádzal z premenlivosti obuvi a tašiek s veľkým dôrazom na nositeľnosť. Nositeľ môţe sám rozhodnúť o výslednom dizajne obuvi a tašiek, ktoré predstavujem pod názvom Zmena. Klíčová slova: obuv, dizajn obuvi, lifestylova obuv, vychádzková obuv, tašky, kabelky. ABSTRACT The theme of my thesis is design of unisex lifestyle shoes and bags. The thesis contains developement of sport fashion and history of the first companies interested in sport shoe industry.
