HISTORY OF REEBOK
1890-1930's Reebok's United Kingdom-based ancestor company was founded for one of the best reasons possible: athletes wanted to run faster. So, in the 1890s, Joseph William Foster made some of the first known running shoes with spikes in them. By 1895, he was in business making shoes by hand for top runners; and before long his fledgling company, J.W. Foster and Sons, developed an international clientele of distinguished athletes. The family-owned business proudly made the running shoes worn in the 1924 Summer Games by the athletes celebrated in the film "Chariots of Fire."

1950-1980 In 1958, two of the founder's grandsons started a companion company that came to be known as Reebok, named for an African gazelle. In 1979, Paul Fireman, a partner in an outdoor sporting goods distributorship, spotted Reebok shoes at an international trade show. He negotiated for the North American distribution license and introduced three running shoes in the U.S. that year. At $60, they were the most expensive running shoes on the market.

1980's By 1981, Reebok's sales exceeded $1.5 million, but a dramatic move was planned for the next year. In 1982, Reebok introduced the first athletic shoe designed especially for women; a shoe for a hot new fitness exercise called aerobic dance. The shoe was called the Freestyle, and with it Reebok anticipated and encouraged three major trends that transformed the athletic footwear industry: the aerobic exercise movement, the influx of women into sports and exercise and the acceptance of well-designed athletic footwear by adults for street and casual wear. Explosive growth followed, which Reebok fueled with new product categories, making Reebok an industry leader.

In the midst of surging sales in 1985, Reebok completed its initial public offering (stock symbol is NYSE: RBK). A year later, Reebok made its first strategic acquisition, The Rockport Company. Rockport was a pioneer in using advanced materials and technologies in traditional shoes and the first company to engineer walking comfort in all types of dress and casual shoes. In the late 1980s, Reebok began an aggressive expansion into overseas markets and Reebok products are now available in more than 170 countries and are sold through a network of independent and Reebok-owned distributors. Creating innovative products that generate excitement in the marketplace has been a central corporate strategy ever since Reebok introduced the Freestyle. In the late 1980s, a particularly productive period began with The Pump technology and continues today, with breakthrough concepts and technologies for numerous sports and fitness activities. 1990's In 1992, Reebok began a transition from a company identified principally with fitness and exercise to one equally involved in sports by creating several new footwear and apparel products for football, baseball, soccer, track and field and other sports. That same year, Reebok began its partnership with golfer Greg Norman, resulting in the creation of The Greg Norman Collection.

In the late 1990s, Reebok made a strategic commitment to align its brand with a select few of the worlds most talented, exciting and cutting-edge athletes. Since then, the company has focused on those athletes who represent the top echelon of sports and fitness. 1999-2000 In 1999-2000, Reebok and the National Football League announced an exclusive partnership that serves as a foundation of the NFLs consumer products business. The NFL granted a long-term exclusive license to Reebok beginning in the 2002 NFL season to manufacture market and sell NFL licensed merchandise for all 32 NFL teams. The license includes on-field uniforms, sideline apparel, practice apparel and an NFL-branded footwear and apparel collection. Logos

PROPOSED MISSION STATMENT

To continue to offer quality products with increasing growth in the industry and expanding globally. Our mission has always been to provide a competitive edge by developing the most technological products. Keeping in mind fair labor practices in all our suppliers factories, while maintaining a competitive advantage, with the shareholders interests, and company profits in mind. We also believe our employees are one of our most important assets. To increase the responsibility towards the environment by evaluating the impact of day to day operation and attempts to change operations that have a negative impact.

Market Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

Ever since it established a presence in India in 1995, Reebok has dominated the Indian sportswear market. While its major competitors Adidas and Nike have not been as successful in

the Indian market. As a consumer-driven brand, Reebok commits to offer consumers products that provide maximum fit and comfort. For Reebok this means designing and developing products with materials, styles and technologies that enhance fit and comfort for consumers. The Reebok segment is comprised of the Reebok brand, Reebok-CCM Hockey and Rockport. In 2008, the Reebok brand has further refined its strategy considering the brands heritage and values, consumer insights and positioning within the Adidas Group port folio. Inspired by its roots in sport and womens fitness, Reebok developed a clear roadmap for its key businesses going forward: Own Womens Fitness, Challenge Mens Sport and Revive Classics. Central to Reeboks brand heritage is the courage to challenge convention. Unlike many other brands, Reebok is committed to make fitness fun again challenging men and women to fulfill their potential in sport and in life by providing them with the opportunity, the products and the inspiration to have fun staying in shape. The depth of Reeboks India operations is reflected in the numbers. The company says it is growing at a compounded annual rate of 30 per cent for the past 3-4 years; in 2007, it says, it crossed Rs 900 crore in sales. Reebok has segmented its market on the basis of the needs of the consumer groups like runners, Aerobic/fitness exercisers, Tennis players, Basket Ball players, Golfers, Adventure

seekers, Walkers, Children, Comfort/Style conscious group. For each particular segment of group they offer unique range of shoes (products) and continuously come up with new line of shoes. The shoes they offer are like running shoes, Aerobic shoes, Tennis shoes, Basket Ball shoes, Kids shoes, Walking shoes, Training shoes, Golf shoes. With technologies such as SmoothFit, KineticFit and The Pump, Reebok has already provided consumers with innovative fit elements in its apparel and footwear. Reebok target customers are kids, youth, women and men. Reebok mission is to make fitness fun again for women . Reebok began to define its focus on womens fitness in autumn 2008, launching a womens specific Your Move campaign. In 2009, Reebok launched a new range of shoes especially for women who are busy and dont find time to gym. The EasyTone footwear collection was launched for the targeted group of busy women. In 2009 for men Reebok launched the SelectRide, an underfoot cushioning technology that allows the athlete to select the train or run mode. Research pointed that Reeboks target age 15-24 were early adopters/sneaker influencers. The price point was too large a barrier for the brand target and they were not influencing other groups. If they went after a sub-target group more interested in, and willing to pay for custom, they could not

only achieve their goals, but likely surpass them by tapping into the influencer capabilities of this group. They successfully increased brand awareness, traffic and sales and engaged users through a highly targeted, segmented approach to selling Reeboks custom sneakers. The tagline I am what I am became a promise to the consumer that Reebok was a brand that enabled selfexpression Media placements included areas where users consumed trend news, popular sneaker sites, music sites, electronics and apparel fashion sites to reach this targeted audience.

Online banner creative emphasized the key selling feature of the shoe allowing users to customize the shoe with a few clicks including color choice within the banner and ultimately be driven to the custom website to finalize the process and buy their personally designed shoes.

Positioning
To reinforce its position as a premium sports and lifestyle brand, Reeboks goal is to significantly improve and increase its product offering at high and mid-price points to drive growth in average selling prices. This approach may slow the

targeted short-term top-line development by voluntarily foregoing build a commercial platform for opportunities sustainable in the low-price sales and segment. More importantly, however, it enables Reebok to long-term profitability growth and preserves the brands image.

Celebrate Individuality in Sport and Life Reebok understands that people are, above all, unique. Reeboks positioning reflects this; celebrating the distinct qualities that make people who they are - their unique points of view, their individual style and their remarkable talents and accomplishments. Reebok celebrates their individuality, their authenticity and the courage it takes to forge their own path to greatness. While some may call them crazy or eccentric, Reebok calls them visionary and original.

Conclusions
A major weakness of Reebok is located in their top management. They lack top management depth and face high management turnover. This is attributed to the CEO, Paul Firemans inability to delegate efficiently. Key employees and top management were sometimes left out of the "loop". Additionally, the board of directors felt Firemans salary was too high. In advertising, Reebok had difficulty positioning itself. Reebok changed advertising agencies eight times and they earned a reputation as a difficult client. Reebok aimed to differentiate its shoe and apparel lines and hired Shaquille ONeal as a superstar endorser. Then Reebok changed advertising agencies and Shaqs new role was contradictory to the old.

Reebok largest customer is Footlocker, yet they established poor relations with them, when they ignored their request to manufacture a specialty line exclusively for Footlocker. Reebok was a poor listener to Footlocker, which has a good ear to consumer wants and needs.

Suggestion & Recommendations

Immediately, Reebok should drastically improve its relation with its largest distributor Footlocker. Then evaluate its manufacturing situation in the Far East, to see if the benefits outweigh the costs of a lowered reputation. The firms ROI has decreased and they need to manage their new assets better. We would recommend a brief turnaround strategy. Contraction would include increasing their accounts receivable turnover to increase profits by collecting their accounts sooner and divesting in unprofitable divisions that dont follow their marketing strategy like the health and fitness clubs. Then in the Consolidation phase they can measure their success by aiming for increases in their fixed asset turnover and ROI ratios.

Lastly, and most importantly, Reebok needs to improve their top management environment and utilize the skill that they are paying for. Ignoring delegation duties in the top management will not reduce the management turnover and will limit managements progress. Reebok has a strong name and even stronger campaign plans. However, the company has a few areas that need to be analyzed and corrected. The areas include: Reliance on department store channels Suffering foreign markets Find markets that are not in an economic decline Strengthen the brand name and message of suffering brands

Need strong goals and plan to grow the sales & global reputation

By changing advertising agencies frequently, Reebok has dug themselves in a marketing hole. To accomplish their current goals they need to produce better marketing campaigns. Change Management.

Decisions

Primary: Focus on finding the most promising customers (kids and women) and introduce more products or improve current ones to satisfy potential increase in demand Alternatives: Keep expanding into current and future foreign markets by being aggressive and the worldwide leader of the footwear industry Accelerate funding for numerous marketing campaigns in order to get to specific markets or customer groups Focus on improving working conditions and human rights at international manufacturer centers and at the same time increasing their productivity Implement product diversification with companys

newest technologies so resulting increased earnings could be reinvested into R&D plans Why This Strategy?

U.S. Women: Prefer fashion, not footwear, they prefer clothing; we must create a shopping style based in athletic shopping.

U.S. Kids: E-commerce, influenced by innovation and design, not only comforts or sports

Reebok need to consolidate US sales compared to international sales and international competitors

 Difficult to expand towards other sports or population segments Implementations (Actions): Women:

Open specific stores specialized only for women Increase R&D expenses by in women products Increase Marketing expenses by designing a specific

campaign for women using female endorsements Create a new logo for women market which would be associated with fashion trends and introduce new products Kids: Increase R&D expenses in kids products Increase Marketing expenses by designing a specific campaign for kids Introduce more soccer and basketball products

targeting potential youth market Research in international market to find out what are the new trends related with women and kids products (Long-term)
