WHERE TO FIND IT? --
NOTICE

Professional Development Workshop by Academics Studying Athletic and Campus Apparel proposed for August 4, (Saturday) 2001 in Washington D.C.

We are trying to find the factories that manufacture for Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and New Balance. We are also charting their relative production over time and by country (Landrum & Boje 2001). When we track the manufacturing operations of Nike and Reebok from 1990-1999, it becomes evident that production in higher wage
unionized countries has decreased while production in lower wage nonunionized countries has increased (Figures 1 and 2). Both companies
show a decline in manufacturing in South Korea and an increase in manufacturing in China and Indonesia during the 1990s.
