Read the Following Attached documents and answer the 4 questions with around
Â
1.) "What is the appropriate scope when defining one's target market?"
Â
2) Can such expansion of a firm's business definition go too far? Even in Levitt's day, it was questionable whether, for instance, a railroad company really had the expertise to run an airline. Looking at Nike today, what businesses do you think are viable expansion opportunities? Justify your choices; in doing so, explain how, in terms of strategic fit, these expansions would benefit Nike.
Â
3) Identify, and describe at least three (3) examples of strategic fit that Nike currently exhibits among its multiple divisions. Defend your reasoning.
Â
4) Which, if any, of Nike's business units could be considered cash hogs? Explain. Which, if any, of Nike's business units could be considered cash cows? Explain.
Â
5) Firms can often benefit from diversification into multiple product and service categories, because this strategy can help to create economies of scope. However, over-diversification can potentially damage a company's image and bottom line. Be a devil's advocate (one who argues an opposing viewpoint to test the decision) by cautioning Nike about the dangers of over-diversification. Provide all of the rationale necessary, including an example of another company that overreached and suffered because of over-diversification, so that you can be very persuasive in your recommendations to the Nike strategic leaders.
