SWOT Analysis (Scenario)
Terri has been asked to review her company's strategy in the cosmetics industry. Top management wants to ensure that they are aware of emerging trends and changes. Terri began reviewing a list of factors in her mind. Recently, there has been some negative publicity about cosmetics testing on animals; an industry practice that has become very controversial and increasingly unacceptable to consumers. The laboratory animals at Terri's company are well treated, but they are still used to test new products. On a positive note, industry-wide sales are up 10 percent. Women are buying more cosmetics in general, which is good news for the company. Another positive factor is their personnel. They have many good people working in the company, particularly in research and development where the expertise is exceptional.

Terri began to compile her report.
