Abstract Nike’s recent progressive yet controversial communicative actions around issues of social justice raise an important question. How does Nike’s blemished organizational history coupled with its current Corporate Social Advocacy (CSA) enhance our understanding of engagement in CSA contexts? This central question guides our critical essay. To address this question, we engage in a critical analysis of various Nike statements, campaigns, and actions which are situated as forms of CSA. Thus, we aim to uncover if or how Nike is engaging corporate social advocacy that challenges status quo gender, racial and cultural norms that attempt to circumscribe the human potential of women and people of color, and we analyze the role of engagement in the process. Our critical analysis of Nike’s statements, campaigns, and actions—draw upon the philosophical principles of the engagement literature in public relations. Uniting engagement literature with CSA in a critical essay allows us to not only explore the nature of Nike’s communicative action within the context of its troubled history, it also facilitates a deeper understanding of the connections between engagement and CSA in public relations. We argue that communicative actions engaged by Nike and analyzed in our critical essay push the boundaries on engagement and corporate advocacy through sport, shining an important light on CSA as a pivotal direction for further theorizing and research in public relations and engagement studies.

作为参与的企业社会倡导:耐克的社会正义传播

摘要 耐克最近围绕社会正义问题采取的进步但有争议的交流行动提出了一个重要问题。耐克有缺陷的组织历史加上其当前的企业社会倡导 (CSA) 如何增强我们对参与 CSA 环境的理解?这个中心问题指导我们的批判性文章。为了解决这个问题,我们对作为 CSA 形式的各种耐克声明、活动和行动进行了批判性分析。因此,我们的目标是揭示耐克是否或如何参与企业社会倡导,挑战试图限制女性和有色人种人类潜力的现状性别、种族和文化规范,并分析参与在此过程中的作用。我们对耐克的声明、活动的批判性分析,和行动——借鉴公共关系中参与文献的哲学原则。在一篇批判性文章中将参与文献与 CSA 结合起来,不仅使我们能够在耐克陷入困境的历史背景下探索其传播行为的本质,​​还有助于更深入地了解参与和 CSA 在公共关系中的联系。我们认为,耐克参与并在我们的评论文章中分析的交流行为通过体育推动了参与和企业宣传的界限,为 CSA 提供了重要的启示,将其作为进一步理论化和研究公共关系和参与研究的关键方向。在一篇批判性文章中将参与文献与 CSA 结合起来,不仅使我们能够在耐克陷入困境的历史背景下探索其传播行为的本质,​​还有助于更深入地了解参与和 CSA 在公共关系中的联系。我们认为,耐克参与并在我们的评论文章中分析的交流行为通过体育推动了参与和企业宣传的界限,为 CSA 提供了重要的启示,将其作为进一步理论化和研究公共关系和参与研究的关键方向。在一篇批判性文章中将参与文献与 CSA 结合起来,使我们不仅可以在耐克陷入困境的历史背景下探索其传播行为的性质,还有助于更深入地了解参与和 CSA 在公共关系中的联系。我们认为,耐克参与并在我们的评论文章中分析的交流行为通过体育推动了参与和企业宣传的界限,为 CSA 提供了重要的启示,将其作为进一步理论化和研究公共关系和参与研究的关键方向。
