Assignment 2: Case Analysis—Nike and International Labor Practices

There are certain important differences between developed and developing countries, some of which may lead to difficult ethical problems. The case study in this assignment describes Nike’s production strategy that lead to a labor controversy.

Read the following case study:

  • Spar, D., & Burns, J. (2000, January 19; revised 2002, September 6). Hitting the wall: Nike and international labor practices. Harvard Business School. HBS Number: 9-700-047

Analyze the case. In your case analysis, address the following:

  • Summarize the basic issues presented in the case.
  • Describe Nike’s business strategy and how it involved controversial manufacturing relations. Discuss the opinions about this strategy.
  • Describe and discuss the conditions in the manufacturing operations for Nike products. Comment on whether the wages in these manufacturing plants were too low. Cite data in support.
  • What other U.S. companies are mentioned in the case? Describe them and their relationship to the labor issues. Does this issue seem to concern only Nike?
  • In your opinion, did Nike take the right steps? Should they, and other U.S. shoe manufacturers continue to contract for making shoes in Asia? Should the U.S. government be involved in regulating such operations?
