Abstract

Focusing on middle manager Harry Leidboldt, this case presents a clear-cut strategic issue - should Nike move into the leisure shoe business? The teaching objective is to first view the decision as a business problem - can Nike succeed in this business? - and secondly, to review the effectiveness of the process by which a middle manager helps senior management deal with strategic issues.
