1.0 Adidas Company Mission, Vision, and Goals
The company’s vision is striving to make the world a better place through sport (Bryson,
2018). The vision of this company is propelling it into producing the best brands among all the
other companies that manufacture sports shoes. For it is a lifetime opportunity being part of this
vision. The mission statement, on the other hand, makes an identification of the products
produced by the firm, defines the need specification of the buyer that wants to make a purchase,
makes the identification of the groups of customers, it is purposing to serve and finally sets the
firm aside for rivals.
2.0Findings of the Supply analysis
In finding the supply analysis, the most important thing was first to know who the main
suppliers are in the Adidas group. But this wasn’t clear who the main suppliers were. What the
Adidas group discloses is the list of suppliers and that’s rare to be done. However, I got to learn
that Adidas outsources most of its production (Campos, Straube, Wutke, & Cardoso, 2017,
p.686). The overall number of directly contracted factories that do manufacturing and work with
Adidas is 800. These factories do manufacture products in more than 55 countries. The structure
of the Adidas supply chain is multilayered and global. The supply chain has many types of
business partners where some of them are contracted directly by Adidas, while the others are
contracted as subcontractors by the contractors (Camilleri, 2017,p.111). Examples of top supplier
countries include; The United States, Canada, Mexico, China, Argentina, Indonesia, India,
Vietnam, Korea, South Africa, Germany, Turkey, Italy, and Spain.
