Case Study – Efe Matrix for FilaBrand awareness is one of the biggest assets that athletic shoe companies as Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Fila can have. Brand awareness always brings a considerable advantage in getting consumers attention and making a good place in that shoe market. If a well established brand name effectively mentions the messages of quality and dependability. Thus consumers will automatically go to that brand relying on the image that has been created when they dont have time to shop around.
Athletic shoe manufacturers must balance the costs of labor, raw materials, purchasing quantities, competitor strategies, shipping, import tariffs, and technological advancements. In an effort to keeps costs down, the industry has been looking to overseas sourcing. The training shoe manufacturing has shifted their financial investment from South Korea and Taiwan, now considered to be higher-cost production locations, to lower-cost ones such as Indonesia, Thailand and China. The trend has been for trainer companies to continue to use the same Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers, who have set up and manage production plants in the new geographic locations. They are also able to profit from beneficial trade and tariff agreements, wherever they exist.

Tracks and materials can be purchased at low cost and you will be able to find the quality you need after making a purchase.
Tracks are made by a company using a new method which has not been used before. It utilizes standard tape or soft foam for the sole to hold it together under pressure, which can be applied on the sole to reduce stress. The quality of these tapes depends upon the customer’s individual preference with regard to the fit of the sole.

After the last update to the bike I started to think about new opportunities. Before the last one took effect I could not wait for the new track to come up and I just wanted to make sure to not just buy a new bike for free. I thought it would be interesting after doing a thorough check of the product on the road as I would never ride for free. After about 15 minutes of testing I was very pleased with what I saw. It was not a bad bike, but this one would work. The track itself made some rough surface areas and took a lot of time to start up.

It has been on sale for a month and will hopefully be on the streets for some time after that. There has been little demand for it so far. But I was happy with how the look of every bike felt. I took some pictures of it over the weekend and really like that it works. One of the questions we have this summer have been some technical improvements and for a better handling it is definitely on the right track for the new track being built. It is also great the new track has the unique position at the top which is amazing. To be able to pick it up right away and hold it is truly a fun experience.
This is the track I like to ride. All the bikes I’ve owned of late have been great. It is also my main bike. Having some time in the car with it and doing some practice gives me all the time I need.

It is a very lightweight bike from Korea. I ride the K9s very fast and I ride the N9s really quick. The first three months I had only one wheel on it. The last month I’ve had only two wheels
• • •
There is always work ahead to keep this bike running fast and it will continue to improve even in the next 3 months.
• •
Our goal is to have the track up and running in less than a year so if it isn’t at some point up I will be taking a break from my work to travel

Favorable legislation regarding foreign manufacturing has led to a big increase in foreign sourcing. In order to diversify supply and production lines, manufacturers have spread out their operations over many areas to avoid over concentration in one region. With this strategy, if one country or region experiences problems that interrupt production, the affected company is not completely out of options and can still accomplish production.
Distribution channels dictate who a companys customer will be and how they will get the product. The footwear companies must choose their channels carefully because they want to make the product available, yet remain true to their image and goals. Retailers account for the largest percentage of sales, so manufacturers must be especially careful with their relationships with them. If a disagreement arises between manufacturer and retailer, the manufacturer could face potentially extensive problems getting the product to market. A recent example of this occurred between Foot Locker and manufacturer Nike. In an attempt to carry more of the lower cost shoes that consumers are demanding, Foot Locker cut back on their high-end purchases from Nike significantly. Nike, in turn, had to look for other outlets for their signature lines.
The ability of companies in the industry to shorten their design, development, production, and distribution cycles is vital to success. In the past, retail stores could carry a product months in advance of a projected need, but now consumers want to buy closer to when they actually experience the need for the good. With the shortened cycles, manufacturers can place more of an emphasis on styling and keep
