Application of SWOT Analysis
Terry had been told to reexamine the strategic niche their company held in the cosmetic industry. Top management did not want the company caught unaware of any changes occurring. Terry began reviewing a list of factors in his mind. There had been some negative publicity lately due to cosmetic testing on animals. The animals were well treated, but they were used to test new products. Positively, sales industry- wide was up 10%. Women were buying more cosmetics in general, which was nothing but good for the company. Another positive factor was their personnel. They had good people working in the company, particularly in research and development.

Terry began to compile his report.
