    Church and Dwight

    2. Summary statement of the recommended solution: Since Church and Dwight is a relatively small company, when compared to competitors in household and personal care product markets they must recognize the challenges of growing sales through acquisitions to promote growth and competitiveness within those markets.

    Filmore Furniture Case

    Our situational analysis of the Filmore Furniture case will demonstrate several key issues that will help us determine an appropriate course of action for Lucinda. Through SWOT we can see that Lucinda's weaknesses outweigh her strengths, due to her lack of knowledge and experience.

Through our analysis of Porter's 5 Powers we have established that the high buyer power and high power of competition in the industry outweigh the low supplier power, low power of substitutes and low threat of new entrants. Therefore the furniture manufacturing industry is a moderately unattractive industry for Luncinda to be in, especially considering her current situation.…
