Summary Of The Noble Feat Of Nike By Johan Norberg

The article “ The Noble Feat of Nike” by Johan Norberg talks about how Nike is gaining several benefits because of its location in a Third World communist country, Vietnam. Majority factory workers have endured extreme conditions in life, which is why they do not demand much, unlike Americans who would not accept such circumstances without increased wages. Nike has been providing factory workers with good wages, education, medical aid, and meals, but all this is only possible because they have always targeted a poor country. Indirectly, Nike not only obtains money through making quality gym shoes, but also through investing in poor country and earning extra free dollars. This article also shows statistics on how Nike has improved, elaborating the fact that $54 a month of income leads to workers

Since Nike is investing into poor countries in return they receive new technology for free , therefore that technology is efficiently utilized to make shoes at a faster rate. Productivity is increasing and Nike ears millions of dollars. A very small proportion of this money is than consumed to attract workers by providing essential needs because the factory owners are aware that the absence of factory workers will cause severe damage to the reputation and productivity of Nike. Nike made a wise choice for gaining their profit because Vietnam being an eastern country will not protest or against the factory disciplines and rules on the other hand if they had chosen a western country they will not tolerate and accept injustice. This is the only reason why Vietnam is the Nike producing land because they are earning free technical equipment’s along with less paying workers
