Purpose 
This executive summary seeks to address the question, "How can Nike enhance its working conditions in order to motivate and increase productivity among its employees?" Because a company's production is mainly dependent on its employees, it is critical to guarantee that they are motivated to work. Despite this, Nike has been accused of operating sweatshops and offering bad working conditions in developing nations like Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia. Nike is one of the world's leading sports clothing companies, devoting a large amount of effort to athletic footwear, apparel, gear, and accessories (Almkvist, 2021). 
The firm is known for its comprehensive and inventive Research and Development group, an elegantly smoothed digitalized chain, and long-standing Athlete and Artist sponsorships and collaborative activities. Nike aims to communicate with customers and investors by focusing on three main areas: innovation, directness, and speed. They have emphasized that Nike promotes a domain of esteem, incorporation, and diverse diversity in order to build a robust company culture. They are also making progress in terms of following patterns in maintainability and lowering global environmental impact.
Background 
NIKE, Inc. is the world's largest manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of athletic footwear, clothes, equipment, and accessories for a variety of sports and fitness activities. NIKE, Inc. sells, distributes, and licenses its products in over 200 countries worldwide. Running, Basketball, Football (Soccer), Men's Training, Women's Training, NIKE Sportswear, and Action Sports are the seven primary areas in which NIKE concentrates its goods (Almkvist, 2021). NIKE sells items under the NIKE and Affiliate Brand names (Converse Inc., Hurley International LLC, Jordan Brand and Nike Golf). North America, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Greater China, Japan, and Emerging Markets are the NIKE Brand's operating segments. NIKE is a fast-growing consumer goods corporation that focuses in sports footwear, gear, and equipment.
Definition of The Business
NIKE, Inc. is one of the most well-known manufacturers of sports footwear, gear, and accessories in the world. NIKE products appeal to a wide range of consumers, including runners, athletes, outdoorsmen, children, and the average customer who picks NIKE items because of their distinctive appearance. College and professional team associations also sell NIKE gear and accessories. "In addition, the business enters into license agreements that allow unaffiliated companies to produce and sell garments, digital devices, software, and other sports equipment using NIKE-owned trademarks" (O'Grady & Gracey, 2020)
Nike, Inc. Overview
Nike's aim is to inspire and innovate for all athletes across the world. While doing so, the company is committed to maintaining its position as the most authentic, connected, and distinctive brand in the industry. The company changed its name from Blue Ribbon Sports to Nike, Inc. after a major rebranding. In terms of market share, it is now the most popular sports brand. Nike generates money through selling footwear, clothes, and equipment, and is ranked from highest to lowest in terms of sales. Nike's revenue is made up of a modest amount of licensing arrangements. Despite being the most valuable sports brand in the world, Nike's market share in the sports equipment business is negligible in comparison to its competitors. Additional concerns develop when healthy living become a cultural trend and sports equipment manufacturers respond. 
Mission Statement
Nike's aim is to "provide inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the universe," according to their mission statement. Bill, the legendary University of Oregon track and field coach and Nike co-founder, famously remarked that if you have a body, you are an athlete. Bill was a coach who taught players how to reach their goals. Nike allows visitors to try out all of Nike's unique and inspirational items (Zhavoronkova, 2021). 
Values Statement 
Nike has largely focused all of the effort, as well as the attention of its stakeholders, on continuing to make progress toward being a corporation that sets the standard in terms of social responsibility. Nike has made unending efforts to guarantee that its employees and people of the surrounding community are treated in a manner that is consistent with their vision. Furthermore,
