ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 79 of 100

Research, develop, and commercialize electric automobiles — this uses an internal R&D strength to counter the external oil-price and environmental threats.

In SWOT cross-analysis, an ST strategy applies strengths against threats. The company's accumulated multidirectional R&D supports electric-vehicle development, while electric vehicles directly reduce dependence on oil and respond to environmental concerns.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- (a) addresses the internal retirement weakness

- (b) combines the low-interest opportunity with the oil-price threat, not a strength

- (d) uses brand strength but does not address either stated threat

Key rule: For an ST strategy, confirm that the action explicitly uses an listed strength and reduces or avoids an listed threat.
