SWOT ANALYSIS
Page | 11
The overall evaluation of a company’s strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats is called
SWOT analysis. It involves monitoring the external and internal marketing environment.
• Microenvironment forces
o Demographic-economic
o Natural
o Technological
o Political-legal
o Socio-cultural
• Microenvironment forces
o Customer
o Competitor
o Supplier
o Distributor
o Dealer
These forces affect the company’s ability to earn profit. A business unit should set up a
marketing intelligence system to track trends and important developments. For each trend and
Page | 12
developments, company’s management system needs to identify the associated opportunity and
threats. Good marketing is the art of finding, developing, and profiting from opportunities.
MARKETING OPPORTUNITY

It is an area of buyer need and interest in which there is a high probability that a company can
profitably satisfy that need. There are three main source of market opportunity:

Interpretation:-
Page | 16
In the opportunity matrix, the threats listed in the upper-left-cell (#1) are major
because they can seriously hurt the company and they have a high probability of occurrence. To
deal with them, the company needs contingency plans that spell out changes it can make before
or during the threat. The threats in the lower right cell (#4) are very minor and can be ignored.
The threats in the upper right cell (#2) and lower left cell (#3) need to be monitored carefully in
the event that they grow more serious. Once management has identified the major threats and
opportunities facing a specific business unit; it can characterize that business’s overall
attractiveness.
Each business needs to evaluate its internal strengths and weaknesses. The business doesn’t have
to correct all It weaknesses, nor should it gloat about all its strengths. The big question is whether
the business should limit itself to those opportunities where it possesses the required strengths or
whether it should consider opportunities that mean it might have to acquire or develop certain
strengths.
Sometimes a business does poorly not because it people lack the required strengths
but because they do not work together as a team. It is therefore critical to assess
interdepartmental working relationships as part of the internal environment audit. For Example:
Honeywell

Each year, Honeywell asks each department to rate it own strengths and weaknesses and those of
the other departments with which it interacts. The notion is that each department is a supplier to
underestimate the cost and completion time of new product, for example, their “internal

Internet — in an Arthur C. Clarke novel, of course! It is a futile exercise for Indian companies to
retail consumer durables using the Net as an independent medium. However, few entrepreneurs
still have their eye on the virtual world with their feet firmly planted in the real one. And four
web models - company-owned online services, auction sites, web portals as a platform for sale,
and entrepreneurial routes like B2C - have reported healthy growth in revenues.
As the major step to the modernization the Cosco has launched its online site as the
www.coscoindia.com. The site is the well designed and has user friendly functions that help
customers to choose and buy their desired model of the sports products in their budget range.
In India the local online shop has been built in the name as www.coscoindia.com. The site not
only contains the online shop, but also provides the online service to the consumers for any
problem in understanding the functioning of the products. It has also the online for the products

information is to be collected from which source by what procedures. Research design denotes
the description of the research design. The aim was to collect relevant information, which fulfills
our requirement and can be analyzed at a later stage of study without any problem. This was to
be done in minimum expenditure with least efforts and in a set period of time. For my project I

In the general sense, the most important reason for SWOT analysis is that it plays a significant
role in evaluation of company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. These can be
called environmental forces that affect its ability to earn profit. The business unit should set up a
marketing intelligence system to track trends and important development. For each trends and

marketing in India.
4. India can be made a base for export to other countries due to its favorable policies and
regulations.

5. Indian rural market is still unexplored.
THREATS
Competition
As every body knows competition is a tough challenge for any company. Competition increase
day by day. We have to decide company strategy according to the market demand and customer
perspective. There are following companies which are prevailing in the market. Like
• Adidas
• Nike
• Nivea
• Yonex
• BDM
• SG
• SS
So to exist in the market they have to increase in their product quality and features. To attain
sustainable growth in the market, company has to frame its policy and strategy in advance to earn
maximum profit.
Page | 73
Company products available in the market are quoted at very high price especially in health
equipments. So to prevail in the market they have to reduce their price inspite of delivering good
quality product.
Minimum guarantee
The guarantee period of Cosco products is minimum as compared to other products prevailing in
the market.
As this company grows wider in the market but still it focus on the old ideas and techniques
prevailing in the company. Company should equip with new technologies and innovative ideas to
promote its growth in the current scenario. They should use skilled persons to generate new ideas
In short
competitions prevails.
