My view about Phil Knight biography

We have really learned a lot from this man. He is not only deceiving his customers and dealing with them well, so he is such a well known man and his company is so well known. He really think about his customer and is very careful not to do anything wrong to him. Phil Knight teaches us to maintain our own culture and move on to the business system. It keeps customers aware and them.
