Sialkot is located in Pakistan in the north-east of the Punjab province at the foot of Kashmir hills near the Chenab River.The city is about 125 km (78 mi) north-west of Lahore. The recorded history of Sialkot covers thousands of years.

He was unable to conquer Lahore but left a garrison in Sialkot. Later, Sultan Khusro Malik tried to capture the city but failed to do so. Sialkot then became a part of the Muslim Mughal Empire which was of Central Asian origin. The Mughal commander, Usman Ghani Raza, advanced towards Delhi by way of Sialkot which capitulated to his armies. Many Sufi missionaries settled in Sialkot district and converted the native population to Islam.Under the reign of the Mughal Emperor, Shahab-ud-Din Muhammad Shah Jahan, Ali Mardan Khan held the charge of Sialkot.During the second world war sailkot was under the british government.

This is especially true for countries on different developmental levels. Child labor is one cultural difference found between the western world and under developed countries. Nike is one organization that has struggled with the cultural differences between these two and manufacturing operations. Nike was co-founded by Philip Knight and Bill Boweman in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports. At that time the athletic shoes market was predominately produced by Germany. Blue Ribbon Sports intended to compete with Germany by importing athletic shoes manufactured in Japan. Blue Ribbon’s first retail location did not open until 1972. This is when Blue Ribbon Sports became Nike. (DeTienne & Lewis, 2005) About 10 years after Nike began contracts with Japan the market grew. Nike found cheaper operations through Taiwan and Korea, according to DeTienne & Lewis (2005). Over time production was subcontracted to the labor markets of China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Having production done in these countries allows for lower costs in labor and higher profit overall. This also provides work for the people in these countries boosting their income and providing them with opportunities. By 1999 Nike held contracts with 45 countries. Because of the size Nike...
