This PowerPoint explores Nike as a multinational company (MNC) and examines how global businesses like Nike impact the countries where they operate. It begins with a recap on what MNCs are and key facts about Nike’s operations, such as the number of countries it trades in and why Vietnam became its main production base. Pupils are asked to think about who works in Nike’s factories and why. The main activity involves comparing the advantages and disadvantages of MNCs for both the host country (like Vietnam) and the company itself, using specific examples from Nike. The lesson then introduces the concept of the “multiplier effect,” explaining how investment from companies such as Nike can create wider economic growth. Finally, pupils review what they’ve learned through short written and reflective tasks, including defining and evaluating the multiplier effect and summarising their understanding in a short “tweet.”
