Nike example and values

Nike is one of my favorite companies. I love the product and I love their messaging. I also love the show Ted Lasso. When they teamed up together, I had to write about it on this path! According to Nike.com, Nike's purpose is to leave an enduring impact and move the world forward through the power of sport by protecting our collective playground and expanding access to sport for everyone. They focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Responsible sourcing, Powering the future of youth sports and Protecting our plant. These are all very prominent on their impact page and I believe that they are standing up for DEI and powering the future of youth sports in this commercial with Ted Lasso images and actors. There are many different people in the advertisement, both genders are represented in the small child that is on the shoulders of an adult. The advertisement starts with a boy and ends with a girl. There is a young woman that the men would like to take a picture with. There are different races represented throughout the video. There is child in a wheelchair. The language states that we don't know what will happen but we can believe even stronger.  Ted Lasso encouraged everyone to believe and Nike is also encouraging their customers and the world to believe in a a world of sport that will be open to all people equally. They are representing their hope for the future and also telling the world that they are fighting for this outcome too.

    Walmart is not necessarily a company that has stood out to me, however I am focusing on one of their current projects/expansions for my business internal assessment and have found many positive aspects of the company. According to carers.walmart.com, their mission is “To achieve our common purpose of saving people money so they can live better.” Sam Walton, Walmarts founder also claimed “Walmart’s a values driven company”, with the 4 core values of respect, service, excellence, and integrity. Overall Walmart presents itself as a community driven company.

      I love that this is part of your research for your IA. Can you add this to the path under your name. Are there any artifacts or publications that you can share to show their values? And when I read this – I realize that Walmart is doing its job – they save people money. So their decisions make a lot of sense when you think of their purpose is just that – and then they can live better. What exactly does that mean to people I wonder?
