耐克(Nike)SWOT分析案例.doc

耐克(Nike)SWOT分析案例 优势耐克是一家极具竞争力的公司，公司创立者与CEO菲尔奈特（Phil Knight）最常提及的一句话便是“商场如战场”（Business is war without bullets）。 劣势耐克拥有全系列的运动产品。（译者注：可以理解为没有重点产品） 机会产品的不断研发。 威胁受困于国际贸易。 Nike SWOT分析原文 Strengths. Nike is a very competitive organization. Phil Knight (Founder and CEO) is often quoted as saying that Business is war without bullets. Nike has a healthy dislike of is competitors. At the Atlanta Olympics, Reebok went to the expense of sponsoring the games. Nike did not. However Nike sponsored the top athletes and gained valuable coverage. 耐克是一个充满竞争力的组织。Phil Knight（耐克的创办者和总裁）曾说道：商场就是没有硝烟的战场。耐克认为对健康的最好理解就是竞争。在亚特兰大奥运会上，锐步强调对比赛的宣传。而耐克则开创性地将宣传的焦点锁定在那些顶级的运动员身上，此举大获成功。 Nike has no factories. It does not tie up cash in buildings and manufacturing workers. This makes a very lean organization. Nike is strong at research and development, as is evidenced by its evolving and innovative product range. They then manufacture wherever they can produce high quality product at the lowest possible price. If prices rise, and products can be made more cheaply elsewhere (to the same or better specification), Nike will move production. 耐克没有工厂。它不愿将资金套在厂房和生产工人身上。这使得它能够专注于设计。强大的研发部门为耐克开发了大量革命性的创新产品。而他们则拿着设计图找那些质优价廉的生产商家代工。如果价格上涨，它能够很轻松地将生产基地移至那些价格更具竞争力的区域。 Nike is a global brand. It is the number one sports brand in the World. Its famous Swoosh is instantly recognisable, and Phil Knight even has it tattooed on his ankle. 耐克是一个全球性的品牌。它是世界运动品牌中的No.1。它著名的“一道钩”很迅速被人们识别出来，并且菲尔耐特还把这个图形纹到了他的脚踝上。 Weaknesses. The organization does have a diversified range of sports products. However, the income of the business is still heavily dependent upon its share of the footwear market. This may leave it vulnerable if for any reason its market share erodes. 这个组织有着很广的运动产品系列，然而，主要的收入来源还是依赖于鞋业市场。这使得耐克公司如果在该市场上的份儿收到侵蚀将受重创。 The retail sector is very price sensitive. Nike does have its own retailer in Nike Town. However, most of its income is derived from selling into retailers. Retailers tend to offer a very similar experience to the consumer. Can you tell one sports retailer from another? So margins tend to get squeezed as retailers try to pass some of the low price competition pressure onto Nike. 零售行业对价格非常敏感。诚然，耐克有着自己的零售商，但它的大部分收入却都仰仗各个零售商的销售。而零售商的收入则来源于消费者。但作为普通消费者，你能区别出零售厂商的不同么？因此，耐克的利润往往会因零售商通过转嫁价格战的压力而受到挤压缩水。 Opportunities. Product development offers Nike many opportunities. The brand is fiercely defended by its owners whom truly believe that Nike is not a fashion brand. However, like it or not, consumers that wear Nike product do not always buy it to participate in sport. Some would argue that in youth culture especially, Nike is a fashion brand. This creates its own opportunities, since product could become unfashionable before it wears out i.e. consumers need to replace shoes. There is also the opportunity to develop products such as sport wear, sunglasses and jewellery. Such high value items do tend to have associated with them, high profits. The business could also be developed internationally, building upon its strong global brand recognition. There are many markets that have the disposable income to spend on high value sports goods. For example, emerging markets such as China and India have a new richer generation of consumers. There are also global marketing events that can be utilised to support the brand such as the World Cup (soccer) and The Olympics. Threats. Nike is exposed to the international nature of trade. It buys and sells in different currencies and so costs and margins are not stable over long periods of time. Such an exposure could mean that Nike may be manufacturing and/or selling at a loss. This is an issue that faces all global brands. The market for sports shoes and garments is very competitive. The model developed by Phil Knight in his Stamford Business School days (high value branded product manufactured at a low cost) is now commonly used and to an extent is no longer a basis for sustainable competitive advantage. Competitors are developing alternative brands to take away Nikes market share. As discussed above in weaknesses, the retail sector is becoming price competitive. This ultimately means that consumers are shopping around for a better deal. So if one store charges a price for a pair of sports shoes, the consumer could go to the store along the street to compare prices for the exactly the same item, and buy the cheaper of the two. Such consumer price sensitivity is a potential external threat to Nike. If you have a body, you are an athlete - Bill Bowerman said this a couple of decades ago. The guy was right. It defines how he viewed the world, and it defines how Nike pursues its destiny. Ours is a language of sports, a universally understood lexicon of passion and competition. A lot has happened at Nike in the 30 years More . . . Disclaimer: This case study has been compiled from information freely available from public sources.
