ITPEC IP October 2021 Question 79
ITPEC IP October 2021 — Question 79 of 100
Developing and commercializing electric vehicles uses the company's R&D strength to counter oil-price and environmental threats. This is an ST strategy in the SWOT matrix: apply an internal strength to reduce or overcome an external threat.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- extending or rehiring workers addresses a weakness
- low-interest funding uses an opportunity and stockpiling oil does not leverage the stated strengths
- strengthening sales through brand image uses a strength but does not address the identified threats
Key rule: SWOT cross-analysis pairs strengths with threats for an ST strategy that uses existing capabilities defensively.
