A core value of the Nike organisation is innovation which is embedded in its strategic direction. It developed a culture where no idea is a bad one and innovation is highly valued. This relates both to product development and marketing opportunities.

Nike has also displayed innovation throughout other business decisions to ensure it tackles environmental issues head on. This attitude took the potentially damaging situation of Nikes association with sweatshops...
