Nike Inc.

****only the final paper is needed-all milestones should be put into one paper, not four separate ones**** You will work with your instructor to choose a firm (NIKE, INC.) for which you can find reliable data and information, both at the firm level and the industry level. The firm you select must be a publicly-traded company, must operate in the U.S. market, and must currently be in business. You will need instructor approval before continuing on with your research paper in order to ensure you have met the necessary requirements. Publicly traded companies file reports with a great deal of data that you will find useful for your analysis. Once you have selected a firm for your case study, you will gather information and data relevant to the firm and its industry and use the core microeconomic principles you have learned in class to analyze the information and make a recommendation for your firm. You will compose a 7–9-page research paper in which you will analyze the market and business data to explain how the core microeconomic principles impact the sustainability of the firm, and your recommendation will suggest the actions the firm can take to ensure success.
