performance of human resources. Within Nike, hierarchical
organisational structure is followed by managers of the company. In this
organisational structure, there is a chain of command from top level
management as well as executives to employees of the company. By

and impact on organisational structure

related to the another function. There are several organisational functions such as production,
finance, human resource, research and development, sales and advertising. All these functions
within then organisation work together to meet the targets of the business. The interconnection of
each department relay on the basis of dependency and organisational structure. The relationship
of these departments are different in each structure of the organisation. This is the advantage of
interrelation that it helps in improving the skills of human resources through getting information
from each function of the organisation. It gives correct direction to the business for achieving its
objectives. Hence, objectives of the organisation should be specific, measurable, achievable,
reliable and time bound. To make these targets effective and efficient objectives are important.

risk and losses of its business. In public sector, there are political complexities and issues of
authority and power. Within voluntary organisations, sometimes the complexities occurred
regarding the finance, human resources, governance and undue influence.

markets as well as political stability within the US positively impacts the functioning of Nike.
Economic factors include inflation, unemployment rate and many more factors. The respective

employment, environment, etc. create various challenges for Nike and influence its operations in
negative ways.

weaknesses.
There are many factors which are present within or outside the organisation and impacts
the business of the organisation (Ivanovich, 2020). It is required to conduct the SWOT analyses
and PESTLE analyses to identify the strength and weakness of the Nike.
SWOT analyses of Nike
SWOT analyses is related to those framework which enables the organisation or person to
analyse their strength weakness, opportunities and threats. Here it is required to conduct the swot
analyses of Nike and the brief discussion related to these are given below.
Strength
 One of the most important strength of Nike is their ability to spread brand awareness
among the customers.
 Nike develops huge customer base with their effective product and marketing techniques
which enables them to achieve cost advantage in industry.

VRIO model
is that framework which is used to analyse the internal environment of the business and also
gives a ground for starting mapping out as well as better understanding the concept of resources
that which resource makes the business successful and help it in gaining competitive benefits.
The VRIO model for Nike is as follows:
Parameters Value Resources Imitability Organisation
Financial
resources
Yes Yes Yes Yes
Patents Yes Yes Yes No
Manpower Yes Yes No No
Sportswear
products
Yes No No No
Value:
It is related to particular requirement of resources that drive the capabilities as well as
products and services of company which are provided by it. The following resources are valuable
resources of Nike:
 Nike is having great financial base which proves itself to be more strong valuable
resources because it facilitates the company in any of the upcoming opportunity.
 Organisation's patents are valuable resource and permits business for selling and
advertising its sportswear products without any interference of competitors.
 Nike has skilled workforce that helps it in attaining great productivity and also
maintaining employee retention which is considered as valuable.
 Company sells differentiated sportswear products that are truly valued by market share
and provides competitive benefits so products are considered as valuable.
Rare:

 Rarity has to do with the availability of the resources of company and how
accessible they are to the competition of organisation. Following are rare resources of
Nike:
 Financial resources of the firm is found to be rare as such financial base is possessed by
only a number of companies and is not easy for everyone to attain such financial base.
 Patents are always rare for a company. They are nor easily available neither any of the
competitor can possess it. They can be use without any interference.
 Employees of the organization are also rare. Nike has a highly trained and skilled staff
which is not the case in other organisations.
Imitability:
 Resources which are tough or expensive to imitate are analysed under this
parameter. Competitors find it difficult to provide customers with an alternative for the
offerings given by company. Following are the imitable resources of Nike.
 It is really costly to imitate the financial resources in short run. It took prolonged profits
for the company to acquire this base.
 Patents are not legal to be imitated and also, for a competitor to develop such resource
and get it patented is not an easy or cheaper task.
Organisation:
 It is check on the management of the resources.
 The resources of the company are so organized that they are exploited to their full
competency.
Financial resources of the organization are organized. They manage the resource
strategically and make proper use of opportunity while tackling threats.
Apply appropriately SWOT analysis and justify how they influence decision-making
SWOT analysis is used to analyse the internal factors such as strengths as well as
weaknesses and external factors like opportunities as well as threats of the company for taking
strategic business decisions (Lyu and Hwang, 2017). Nike has ability and skilled employees
that helps the company in spreading its brand awareness among the market-share. Through
effective marketing techniques, the company a large number of target-audience. Within the
organisation, there are some weaknesses also which makes process of decision making difficult.
Over dependency on North American markets and legal suits against the company are some

weaknesses. Besides that, the company is having opportunities to expand its market as it is using
recycling process and has effective relations with NGOs which can help organisation to use this
process. Nike has relations with many celebrities and athletes also and it is an opportunity for
company as it helps in achieving the success. On the other hand, there are some threats for the
company like dealing with economy after pandemic situation of COVID-19 and a large number
of competitors such as Adidas, Puma, Reebok that drastically changes the performance of the
respective company in a negative way.
Explanation of interrelationship between strengths as well as weaknesses and external macro-
factors
Basis of interrelation Strengths Weaknesses
Political factors Strong political system enables
company by providing
opportunities to expand its
business universally without
any barriers (Nikitina and
Lapiņa, 2019). It becomes a
strength for Nike as it can
expand its trading activities by
marketing at global level that
helps in extending the sales
operations.
Political system of country had
made changes in its trade and
taxations policies during
pandemic situation which
negatively impacts the
operations of the respective
organisation. Nike faced
complexities after reopening of
markets because the it requires
time to adopt the changes and
work on them. Therefore, its
customer-base get reduced and
negatively impacts the
functioning of business (Phelps
and Szabat, 2017).
Economical factors Highly developed and free-
market economy helps Nike in
getting more target-base and
therefore expands the volume
of sales of the company.
Downturn in economy during
pandemic situation of COVID-
19 had potentiality to swing the
purchasing power of customers
and hence, it forces Nike to

Expansion in sales elevates the
financial statements and
becomes a strength within the
company.
make a cut in the prices of their
footwear, clothes and athlete
equipments. This lower down
the sales of company and
negatively impacts its
operations and brand value
within the marketplace.
Social factors Nowadays young generation
spends their most of time in
internet surfing or on social
media sites. It becomes a
strength for company as its
market share gets increased
when customers doing their
shopping activities online
(Rialp-Criado and
Komochkova, 2017). This
updated social market of US
facilitates Nike in expanding
its business operations as well
as customer-base.
Preferences and tastes of
customers change according to
their lifestyle and culture. In
this situation, sometimes Nike
faced problem in selling its
stock which is already
manufactured. Because
customer buys products
according to their perception
that may be not available in the
respective company and may
generate a weakness within the
company.
Technological factors Technological upgraded
country helps Nike in
introducing its products at less
cost and in small time (Saleh
and Watson, 2017). It assists in
making marketing more
convenient with the help of
rising internet connectivity,
Artificial Intelligence,
Employees of Nike totally
depend on the technologies
adopted by them. In case of
any failure in technologies or
machines, they are not able to
accomplish their business
operations. In that case, their
business activities affected in a
negative way and create a

disrupting technology, social
mobile marketing and many
more. This results in strength
of the company as through
internet connectivity they
target more and more
customers.
weakness for their company as
well as may spoil its brand
image too.
Legal factors The respective company
follows all laws and
legislations created by Union
system of the country. It helps
Nike in working ethically and
hence, creates a positive brand
value of the organisation.
Frequent interventions in laws
and legislations by the
authority of country hinders
the operations of company as it
takes time to understand and
adopt new interventions and
work according to them. It
increases their business costs
as they are not aware about
those changes and hamper the
operations of business in a
negative way.
Environmental factor After situation of COVID-19,
customers are more concerned
about their health (Trad and
Kalpić, 2017). By knowing
their perceptions, employees
of Nike use electric-powered
transports for dispatching their
services. These vehicles cause
less pollution and helps in
generating pure environmental
conditions. By this procedure,
The mass-production factories
of Nike emits pollution while
making its products and causes
harm to environmental
conditions. Waste generated
from the factories directly
dumped into the river and
caused water pollution. It
negatively impacts the brand
value of the company and
because of which its operations

its market share is attracted
through the facilities provided
by them and therefore,
increases their sales volume
which is a strength for
company.
also gets affected in adverse
way.
Critically evaluate the impacts that both macro and micro factors have upon the business
objectives and decision- making
Above discussed macro as well as micro environmental factors have great impact on the
objectives of business and the process of decision-making at all levels within the company. The
administration of Nike takes the decisions on the basis of situations of micro and macro factors.
In case of positive micro and macro factors, superiors within the company take extensive
objectives of growth in future by making strategies that provides assistance to them in business
growth (Zaman, 2018.. Contrary to it, in case of negative micro and macro factors, restrictive
extension policy with more growth within home country can be taken. Hence, micro as well as
macro environmental factors impacts the operations of the business and goals along with the
decision making strategy in both favourable and unfavourable ways.
CONCLUSION
From above analysis, we can conclude that business environment is an essential element
of a company which make its operations more effective. It is dynamic in nature as it changes
according to the change in its factors. Several factors of business environment are interrelated
with each other. Within the report, various types of organisations have been taken into
consideration along with their purpose, legal structure, size and scope, shared values. The above
discussed report also states the relationship between distinct organisational functions and their
linkage with organisational structures. PESTLE Analysis is used for analysing positive or
negative impacts of macro environmental factors on business operations. To analyse external and
internal factors within the organisation, SWOT Analysis has been used in the portfolio.
Furthermore, above explanation also tells about the interrelation between strengths and
weaknesses with external macro factors and their impacts on operations of business.
