Breakingviews - Nike puts politically divisive spring in its step

9/4/2018, 7:40:32 PM
(Reuters Breakingviews) - Nike is putting a politically divisive foot forward. The sneaker group will feature Colin Kaepernick, the first U.S. National Football League player to kneel in protest during the national anthem, in its “Just Do It” 30th anniversary ad campaign. Companies often shy away from politics, but in the commoditized sneaker trade, it’s a risk worth taking. ✔ While some may now shun the brand, others will actively seek it out ✔ It doesn’t hurt to make friends from the other side of the political aisle ✔ As Milton Friedman said in 1970, the social responsibility of business is to increase profits ✔ That goal, and supporting Kaepernick’s protest, may not be incompatible

9/4/2018, 6:18:33 PM
U.S. manufacturing activity accelerated to more than a 14-year high in August, boosted by a surge in new orders, but increasing bottlenecks in the supply chain because of a robust economy and import tariffs could restrain further growth. ✔ A measure of export orders, however, fell in August, likely reflecting the dollar’s more than 5.0 percent rise this year against the currencies of the United States’ main trade partners ✔ The survey’s supplier deliveries index jumped to a reading of 64.5 last month, highlighting the rising bottlenecks in the supply chain, from 62.1 in July ✔ Our Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles
