- Honda has been the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959. After succeeding in the automobile industry in Eastern Asia since 1949, Honda started to expand its business by registering as a corporation in different parts of the world resulting in huge growth in the vehicle segment. However, it struggled to establish their corporation in many countries as they were unable to comply with the rules and regulation of the country. Honda thereafter took up separate methods of operation to expand worldwide. One of the key market eyed by Honda in Asia was India but India proved to be a difficult destination for Honda to enter and hence, the company opted to proceed with a joint venture plan.Initially, the company tried to reach an agreement with Bajaj Auto Ltd thereafter concluding a deal with the Hero Group. Honda's entry plan for India's two wheeler market was divided into two segments. Firstly, the joint venture with the Ludhiana based Munial family's Hero group for motor cycles,…The Nike brand name is most commonly associated with trainers, but Nike also produces a range of leisure and sports gear, with several leading sports personalities endorsing these products. The company is profitable, and, arguably in part for this reason, has been targeted by environmentalists and other campaign groups. Nike, like its leading competitors such as Adidas and Reebok, focuses on design and marketing and outsources manufacturing from around the world. In fact, Nike purchases supplies from 700 different factories in 50 countries. It is typical and perhaps logical to use low-cost labour around the world, as long as exploitation is not an issue. Lower production costs allow for lower prices – but then there is the issue of what constitutes an acceptable margin for the brand owner. Nike has been accused of condoning worker exploitation in some of these factories. Under-age child labour and sexual harassment have been cited. Nike has, not unexpectedly, been worried by the…The Nike brand name is most commonly associated with trainers, but Nike also produces a range of leisure and sports gear, with several leading sports personalities endorsing these products.
