Nike Football Team Sports La agilidad como motor del crecimiento
Resumen
Hoy en día, se puede decir que no hay persona que no reconozca esta marca llamada Nike, ya que es una de las marcas más conocidas a nivel mundial. Nike posee una cuota considerable del mercado mundial de material deportivo, valorado en 15.000 millones de dólares. Además, patrocina los equipos de fútbol profesional más importantes, como el FC Barcelona, el Manchester United o el Arsenal. Pero tan sólo en Europa hay unos 500.000 equipos de fútbol amateur, y todos ellos necesitan camisetas, pantalones, calcetines, calzado y demás ropa deportiva personalizada. En ese mercado aún por explotar el equipo de operaciones de Nike para Europa, Oriente Próximo y África vio un potencial enorme. El Mercado del Fútbol Amateur en Europa La historia de Nike es bien conocida. Desde sus comienzos en 1964 como importador de zapatillas de deporte japonesas, ha crecido hasta convertirse en una de las marcas –y logos– más conocidas del mundo. La empresa fabrica una amplia gama de categorías de producto, desde calzado y ropa deportivos hasta equipos de golf y aparatos electrónicos. Sus productos cubren casi todos los deportes conocidos, y su éxito es tal que Nike controla un tercio del mercado mundial de ropa deportiva de marca. En el caso del mercado del fútbol europeo, Nike ha hecho grandes progresos desde que entrara en los noventa con su sonado patrocinio del equipo nacional de Brasil. Aunque ahora patrocina a algunos de los equipos más importantes de Europa, compite con otras marcas bien establecidas como Adidas y Puma, que también patrocinan equipos profesionales y cuentan con amplias redes de puntos de distribución. Además de los clubes profesionales, los más mediáticos, Nike observó que el fútbol amateur era muy importante en la región Europa, Oriente Próximo y África.
En 2007, Nike EMEA decidió incrementar significativamente su negocio de Football Team Sports (FTS, prendas y accesorios para personas que practican el fútbol aficionado), que hasta entonces había sido una parte pequeña de sus actividades. Nike tenía que afrontar un reto importante: cómo servir al creciente negocio de FTS con una cadena de suministro que tradicionalmente recurría al marketing para generar demanda. Los clubes de fútbol aficionado, por otro lado, estaban fuertemente influidos por la popularidad de los clubes profesionales, o por los últimos resultados de la Liga de Campeones, etc. Los clientes de FTS normalmente necesitaban sus uniformes antes de que empezara la temporada. Los minoristas tenían un espacio limitado y, por tanto, no podían almacenar más de 1.000 SKU del catálogo de productos. Otras diferencias clave entre FTS y otras categorías de ropa era la frecuencia de compra (una vez al año frente a todo el año), la estacionalidad (en el verano, frente a todas las estaciones) y la elasticidad del precio (bastante inelástico, frente a más elástico). Con el fin de desarrollar una estrategia de operaciones para el negocio de FTS, un equipo de directivos de Nike había analizado la cadena de valor y había descubierto algunas cuestiones que debían abordarse; por ejemplo, el tiempo de entrega de seis meses o el método para hacer pronósticos de ventas utilizado en FTS. La dirección de la EMEA tenía que decidir ahora cuál era el mejor modo de alcanzar una tasa compuesta de crecimiento anual del 40% y que el negocio supere los 600 millones de dólares.

Ejemplo
Yo creo que un ejemplo puede ser el caso de Zara con su cadena de suministro ya que gracias a eso mejoro mucho y es una de las preferidas.
Conclusión
Tiene que ver con la clases porque estamos hablando de la estrategia de inventario, de los pronósticos y de la demanda de publico. Ya que hablamos de Nike y su cadena de suministro, en como los directivos tuvieron que escoger la mejor opción para que la empresa logre obtener mas ganancias y no perdidas.

...511-060 Nike Football: World Cup 2010 South Africa Nike Football revenue had grown from $40 million in 1994 to more than $1 billion in 2008. In just under 15 years, it had reached a sales level that took some of its competitors over 50 years to achieve. Although not the end goal, the 2010 World Cup was another unique moment in time for Nike to create separation between the company and its competitors. Edwards knew he had to seize this opportunity and pull his team together to deliver a campaign focused on delivering innovative products and compelling consumer experiences. Creating deep consumer connections during the World Cup would be vital for fueling continued growth for Nike football in the years ahead.

Nike World Cup Harvard Business Review Questions

...Mekyas Moges 11/18/2013 Sports Marketing Professor Master. Nike World Cup 1. Discuss the factors that have resulted in Nike Football becoming over a $1 Billion division and a major force in the football market. The Nike football brand believed that the only way to seize any kind of opportunity for growth is to first have a product that speaks for itself. Therefore, Nike believed that footwear product innovation should have the most focus. Nike had four steps to product innovation, development, design, marketing and most importantly, testing. The company spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create the right products that the athletes could preform well on. The fact that the 2006 world cup final between France and Italy, an Adidas and Puma team respectively, had 12 of the 22 starts still wearing a Nike shoe is a testament to the quality of the Nike products. Once Nike became a proven brand. It needed to find ways of reaching fans in unconventional ways because the Advertising rights were already bought out from Adidas. But, Nike saw how international players from South America and Asia were moving to European leagues and the game was about to transform from a “scoring matters” culture, to a “getting past your man is just a good” culture. This played well with Nike’s sponsorship with the Brazilian National team who were well known for their stylish way of playing football. Nike piggybacked this niche in the market to bring a new edge of football that promoted individual...

...Shadow Introduction “Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.” (Gloves, S. 2012) This much quoted comment of the former, British football manager Bill Shankly describes exactly my view of football. I am a big fan of the most popular sport in the world. Sure I know that this comment is exaggerated, but football becomes more and more important. Not only for the fans and the sportsmen, also for the global economy. (Hamil, S. and Chadwick, S. 2010) In professional football the success goes hand in hand with money. Today it is almost impossible to win a big trophy like the UEFA Championsleague without investing lots of money. The FC Barcelona is ranked as the best team in the world and invested in the last five years an average of 40 Million Euros per annum in new players. (Transfermarkt 2011) But where does all that money come from? According to Uli Hoeneß, the president of German football club FC Bayern Munich, only 15% of the twelve million DMs (6.1 Million Euros) revenue were out of broadcasting, marketing and sponsoring when he began in 1979 his career as a manager. (RP online 2011) His aim was to make his club independent from earnings from the spectators. As you can see in the following diagram he achieved his aim. In the year 2010 Bayern’s matchday earnings were only 21% of the total revenue. The biggest part is now coming from the commercial with 53%. (Sports Business Group 2011) Bayern Munich: Revenue...

...management situation. The case was compiled from published sources. Company Background Under Armour (UA) was founded in 1996 by Kevin Plank, a former Maryland football player, who began by selling compression clothing that could “wick” sweat away from the body to college sports teams out of the trunk of his car. Plank was a football player at the University of Maryland, and hated wearing cotton shirts to practice in the hot, humid Maryland climate. Knowing that he would never be an NFL player, Plank devoted his efforts to starting a company that could make a product that would be an improvement over cotton, in that it would not absorb sweat and be much more functional and comfortable to wear. Once made, he started selling the shirts to the lacrosse and football teams at the University of Maryland out of the trunk of his car. In 1998, the football oriented movie “Any Given Sunday” was being filmed in Baltimore where Under Armour is based. The producers of the movie were looking for a product that would represent the athletic nature of the movie and be comfortable to wear during filming. Under Armour agreed to provide products, and UA shirts were used throughout the filming and appeared in the movie itself, resulting in national exposure for the brand. At about the same time, ESPN was initiating a sports magazine and looking for advertisers. Plank called in his dozen or so employees at the...

Brm Project on Sports Shoe

...1. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND The term footwear covers a vast range of products made from many different materials. Boots, shoes, sandals, slippers and clogs are made wholly or partly of rubber, synthetic and plastics materials, canvas, rope and wood. In fact, in 2007, rubber and plastics footwear made up 53% of the pie whereas leather footwear accounted for 14% only with the remaining 33% of the footwear made of textile and other types of materials. In recent years, the footwear industry has become highly globalised, with competition from countries with lower labor costs and less regulated working conditions forcing footwear manufacturers to look at restructuring and re-locating their facilities. As the World population increases and living standards improve, the demand for footwear has shot up rapidly. Over the last decade and a half, Asian countries have emerged as the most powerful destination for footwear production, with established names in the US and Europe economies having shifted their facilities (partly and wholly) to Asian countries.
