Nike and the Chinese Market

Paper Summary:

The international market offers various emerging markets, each offering the opportunity for sport shoe manufacturing company, Nike, to continue growing. One of the most significant markets is China. This paper proposes research that will investigate whether Chinese consumers view the Nike brand as high-quality and affluent and whether there are any public image issues. The paper presents possible outcomes of the research, as well as an outline of a business research process.

From the Paper:

"The question this raises is how the Chinese market views the brand. Answering this question is important for Nike to determine the most appropriate marketing strategy to enter the market. For example, do they need to convince consumers that the brand is affluent, or is this already assumed by most consumers? Do they need to deal with image problems related to the manufacture of products, or are most Chinese consumers unaware of any issues with Nike? Answering these questions will allow Nike to enter the market with the most appropriate marketing strategies."
