Nike Yum : A Personal Statement

A Greek would say, "When we go to battle and win, we say it is Nike." According to Greek Mythology, The Nike was the winged goddess of victory. Daughter of the titan Pallas and the river Styx, Nike sat at the side of the omnipotent Zeus for the duration of his plight with the titans. The goddess Nike came to be an everlasting symbol of victory and dominance on the battlefields of ancient Greece. In light of her conquests, a popular footwear company of the 20th century designed products in her name to push new levels of achievement in athletes worldwide. The Swoosh logo at the side of each shoe is intended to represent the wing of the Greek Goddess Nike. The vibrant spirit of this ancient goddess has bridged the gap between

The smell of cinnamon engulfed my senses as I sat down on the soft plush couch. It was christmas time, and I could hear my grandma’s voice as she hummed an old Christmas toon. The general feel of the room was happiness, Which was enhanced with the warm smells of freshly baked cookies and holiday ham. “Abby? would you like to taste these cookies before I frost them?” she asked, knowing that I didn't like the frosting that she usually bought. She was always trying to make the people around her happy. As a young child, her family didn't have a lot of money so she was forced to live off barely anything. she made the best out of her situation, and learned to be happy with what she had. My grandma knows how to make everyone happy in every situation, and that si why she is my Personal Michigan Hero.

Our brand new heater had just stopped working in the dead middle of a blizzard. Icicles clung to the gutters like sloths to branches. The sweet smell of baked blueberry muffins filled the air. Not just any muffins though, the muffins my mom bought at the store. I will never forget what happened on that day. I won't forget the taste of those muffins either. The muffins made the little friends on my tongue smile. The muffins I eat now are those trash Trader Joe muffins. They taste like bricks! I think bricks taste terrible, and I sure think the muffins taste terrible. Two things are true: the Trader Joe muffins are terrible and so was second grade.

The aim of this paper is to use the “Nike - The art of selling air.” case study and concepts from strategic marketing theory to identify marketing challenges and how those challenges could be best addressed using marketing principles. The paper will:

Recipes crafted throughout generations invoke feelings of pleasure when eaten occasionally. When enjoyed especially around the holidays, a simple dish is transformed into a manifestation of love. When eaten in celebration, it acts as a window into the unique expression of every family. The near obsession with the taste and quality of soul food can be justified by its high in fat content, but it is important not to forget how the psychology of growing up with this food remains with a child forever. It makes sense for it to also be known as “comfort food,” food that is typically unhealthy yet invokes feelings of innocence, childhood, and

Once the chocolate and paraffin wax has melted; I take the Martha Washington Balls out of the refrigerator and stick toothpicks in each one so we can easily dip them into the chocolate. Once we have dipped all of them in the chocolate we let them harden and then place them in a container so they will be fresh for Christmas Day. The next day we take them out and serve them along with other foods. This dessert is so delectable and savory, and has a specific smell of sugar and chocolatey wax. The best part, however, is not the food itself, but what the food represents. The food represents family and tradition. It also makes for memories to tell your future children, and the chance to pass on a family tradition. Nothing beats spending time with your family, and having fun while doing

I've only had this at BJs restaurant, and they have different flavors such as, S'mores, Salted Caramel, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Peanut Butter, Cookies 'n' Cream, Triple Chocolate and Chocolate Chunk which is their original, what I get. Its a giant Chocolate Chip under cooked in a deep dish and two to three scoops of Vanilla Bean ice cream on top.

In high school, I remember getting home from school on a Tuesday afternoon and being greeted with hugs and kisses from out of town relatives and the smell of peaches and cinnamon on the stove, which both makes my heart melt. Once the peaches have reached a certain sweetness and softness, the graham cracker crust is placed into the oven to shape the pan evenly. After the crust is even the peaches is poured into the pan and the top crust is added and back into the oven it goes. My step-dad would usually make the peach cobbler first and put it in the refrigerator to allow the peaches and its juices to smother the crust. Tuesday night is the night where we would sit up laughing, playing music and chopping up all the vegetables and other ingredients

I sliced into the baked potato and slathered it in butter and salt. I next went to work on my steak. It was so tender I could hardly cut it; it was the perfect pink on the inside, brown around the edge, and crisp on the outside. I grabbed the A1 sauce and drowned my steak in it. I went at it, eating all of my favorite foods until I didn’t think I could ever eat again. My grandmother picked up the empty plates and replaced it with a piece of pie. I always have room for desert, so I took a big bite of the smooth, chocolate pudding pie, and I was in

The company I am presenting is Nike which was founded in 1965 by the athlete Phil Knight. Nike is a well known brand which is selling its products worldwide and has 36% of the market share.

Distribution – to make certain they are getting the latest most innovative products to customers quickly

Nike began as Phil Knight’s semester-long project to develop a small business, which included a marketing plan. This project was part of Phil Knight’s MBA course at Stanford University in the early 1960s. Phil Knight had been a runner at the University of Oregon in the late 1950s. His idea for his project was to develop high quality running shoes. He thought that high quality/low cost products could be produced in Japan and then shipped to the United States to be sold at a profit. His professor thought that Knight’s idea was interesting, but not much more than a project.

Mythology to society is just ancient past, but essentially it’s not. It’s thriving and very alive. Take a trip to your local mall and check the footwear department of any sporting store and there you’ll find the goddess. The name Nike characterizes the goddess who exemplified victory on the battlefield. In retrospect, if persons were asked the name Nike, Greek mythology is least expected to arise. The name Nike is now renowned as the most iconic brands around the globe. Though, not many people know the story it all began selling shoes from the trunk of a car. The crazy idea that emanated from Phil Knight that grew to become the global phenomenon today. This study will give insight into the creation, growth, and evolution of Nike.

Nike’s management understands how important a relevant strategy is in the global environment, as Don Blair, Nike’s CFO, stated “...we are refocusing our efforts, increasing our investments in innovation, using our voice for stronger advocacy and looking at how we incubate new, scalable business models that enable us to thrive in a sustainable economy.”
