This seminar will explore >these issues using as a case study the sports apparel and shoe industry. >Topics will include the specific example of the Nike Corporation, in the >context of the several larger trends and forces within which it has >evolved and now operates: the history of U.S. textile and shoe >manufacturing, and related issues of labor and workplace conditions; the >growth of sports apparel and shoe marketing, and its relationship to >college athletics as well as competitive factors in manufacturing and >marketing; the larger forces driving globalization of manufacturing for >the U.S. market, and their impacts; the specific contexts of the >countries, cultures, and economies of southeast Asia; and finally, the >issues of business ethics and policy choice that arise from these topics. > The course will thus offer an unusual opportunity for >faculty/student interaction and debate on an important contemporary issue. >It will be conducted as an intensive multidisciplinary seminar, drawing on >the participation of numerous faculty members and outside speakers who >have particular expertise on each topic. Each student will be responsible >for reading assigned readings, for preparing a research paper and leading >one of the discussion sessions, and for participating actively in >discussion of the readings and of the presentations of guest speakers. Our >hope is that the results may also be suitable for sharing with the broader >university community and with other interested students and citizens. The >course is open to any student with a serious interest in exploring this >topic, subject to permission of the instructors in order to assure a good >cross-section of participants within the limits of space and seminar >interaction process. > Interested students should contact either or both instructors as >soon as possible, preferably by email, including name and student ID >number, a brief statement of the reasons for their interest in the course, >any relevant background, major field, academic level, and GPA. > Professor Richard Andrews: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Professor James Peacock: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >________________________________________________________________________ > REPLY TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Professor Richard (Pete) Andrews > Chair of the Faculty and Professor, School of Public Health > University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill > > CB# 9170, 203 Carr Bldg.
