Nike is a business so as to maintain a fruitful business one must submit to great strategic policies including regarding others convictions and values.It would be the same than if a Nike representative another worker how to bring up their children. For whatever length of time that they are submitting to the laws administered in that their own nation individuals are allowed to bring up their youngsters how they please. 2.

Having different countries give their info and recommends would be a unimaginably supportive and trading off instrument for workers and businesses in all nations.
