Nike, from Small Beginnings to World Giant (I)耐克、小开端对世界的巨人1.Nike is one of the most powerful marketing companies in the business world today, but it had very small beginnings. The global giant company with revenues in 1996 of US $6.4 billion and profits of US $553 million started in the 1960s with the company's founders selling cheap Japanese sports shoes to American high school athletes at school track meetings, using a supply of shoes they kept in their car. One of Nike's founders, Philip Hampson Knight had been a top athlete when he was at the University of Oregon. He moved on to become a student at Stanford Business School, but retained his interest in sport. At Stanford he brought his enthusiasm for track sports to his studies, writing a paper on how to create a cheaper, better running shoe using Japanese labor, which was cheaper than American.1.耐克是其中一个最强大的营销公司在商业世界,但却有非常小的开始。

A sole proprietorship also enjoys the advantage of privacy, which means you don’t have to prepare any reports for outsiders as you would if you owned a corporation.个人独资企业的优势和弊端个人独资企业有诸多优势。

The major disadvantage is the pr oprietor’s unlimited liability.大多数独资企业规模相对较小,这就意味着其资金来源有限,所以个人独资企业很难获得贷款。
