SWOT Analysis of the AmorePacific Corporation
Strengths
A business's strength refers to the specific characteristics adding value to a firm by making it more unique, special, and advantageous compared to its competitors. A critical analysis of the AmorePacific firm depicts that the firm has been able to build a new customer value proposition by understanding their customers' diverse lifestyles along with discovering their unmet needs rather than just focusing exclusively on the patterns of customers of using existing cosmetic products (RHO & LEE, 2016). Consequently, this has enabled the firm to cover all points of contact with the existing customers within the domestic market. Also, the firm has established and operates a “Customer Strategy Team” that is responsible for collecting and analyzing quantitative data as well as a Beauty Research Team charged with task of collecting and studying qualitative data through its multiple avenues – this helps it in establishing relevant information for its growth (RHO & LEE, 2016).
