solution is break UP!!

I have previously proposed in this platform that Nike's answer will be split the company in few different segments and run separately with each segments with its own CEOs who reports to one Big CEO.
That idea was shut down by just about anyone in this site (if they are still in here).

So a year has passed since that exquisite moment and we are sinking more in the mud. It was ankle deep but now it is knee deep.

So I want to ask everyone in this site.
Do you think that splitting company and running more independent is the solution?
Because it has been shown that Nike is too big and vast in sports/fashion industry for one guy, specifically EH and his cronies to fix it and turn it around.
And the little CEO that shows most result should be considered for next big CEO.

@ar supposed to do. They don’t do sh-t in reality

If you truly want to separate them, you end up tripling all of the supporting functions. This is such a terrible idea beyond what's already being done in marketing/design

@OP That’s what Jordan and Converse is… and basically how the geos are run. How’s that going?

Why would separate running, basketball, sportswear, etc companies be valued higher than the company as a whole?

They were talking about doing this back in the late 90s when I joined. So, no, I don’t think this is an innovative or original thought. You can’t break up the supply chain like that. There is efficiencies at scale…

Congrats, you’ve discovered what VP does.
