1. How has the COVID-19 virus impacted Nike (SWOT/5 Forces)?

At a dental clinic, in the past, patients can walk in to see the dentist. Both inter-arrival time and service time by the dentist are random. It is also observed that arrival rate is smaller than the service rate. Now the clinic has implemented an appointment system with a constant time slot length for each patient. As a result, assuming that all patients arrive on time, the time between the arrival of two consecutive patients is a constant. Suppose that the overall arrival rate of patients is the same as before, and so is the service time distribution by the dentist.

Under the current situation with the appointment system, how does the average patient waiting time change?

It is shorter than before.

It is the same as before

Cannot be determined

It is longer than before

Nike Big Data Management

With the analysis on the business of this leader in the sports industry, it indicates that NIKE is facing a problem in how to market their customers in a more customized way in order to regain the market share for the young market especially.

According to the 5-forces, Nike is suffering from the great level of competitive rivalry in a saturated market. People within this market have very low cost in switching to other brands while competitors are having similar features on their products. Obviously, NIKE’s young market is losing loyalty to it, while Adidas, New Balance and Puma in sports and Vans, Converse and Supreme in streetwear performance are gaining momentum. It is possible to say that they are not only competing on shoes and clothes but also technologies and stylish design nowadays as customers and even retailers have so much to choose from.

On the other hand, NIKE seems to be ignoring some speciality sports retailers while retailers have deep ties to the young market and community. They act an important role in the distribution chain to help promote the brands. NIKE has to closely work with its retail partners like Foot Locker and even more on its 200+ NIKE stores or other speciality sports retailers.

Moreover, young customers usually go to these stores looking for advice on fitting and matching which means stores seriously affecting teenagers’ selection. In this case, the taste and value of the young customer may have been changed a lot in these couple years due to the influence of social media. Therefore, to regain larger market share and create higher profit, NIKE can use BDA on issues like “The most influential athlete to teenagers'', “The fashion color of the coming year”, “Hot icon or images in the world”, “How many hashtags on the product” and “Most popular Internet celebrity” etc. Although NIKE have been innovative for a long time and equipped with advanced technologies, only further customized marketing can take it up to a notch.
