As reflected by the IFE table, Philippine Seven Corporation is capable of maximizing the
aforementioned Strengths. In addition, PSC also has the capability to overcome those
threats in the industry with a weighted score of 2.79. The following entries explain the
rationale behind the data mentioned above.
STRENGTHS
Convenient locations
7-Eleven has over 50,000 outlets throughout the world, which gives them a significant
location and convenience advantage. Obviously, being a convenience store, their primary
benefit to consumers is that commonly purchased products are located at nearby stores.
Therefore, greater market coverage through a greater number of outlets will provide
increase convenience to more consumers.
“Hi, Kristi! Thank you for bringing this to our attention and sorry you experienced this. Rest
assured that we will be investigating this concern. Please send us the full details of the
incident. Kindly include your name and contact info so we can keep you posted. Thanks
again!”
In addition, 7-Eleven in the Philippines Boosts Customer Service Using the QuickScan
QW2100 Linear Imager from Datalogic to Scan Mobile Phones.
WEAKNESSES
All their stores require overnight staff, unlike supermarkets, where majority of their outlets
are not open 24/7. This means that 7-Eleven has to hire a few hundred staff to cover the
night shift, which wages, logically, should be higher than day shift staff. This contributes to
cost for the company, more so when there are rarely any customers making purchases in
the wee hours of the night.
Higher Capital Expenditure
PSC expanded its existing distribution centers and opened new warehouses in 2015,
ending the year with nine warehouse facilities compared to only four as of mid-2014.
PSC has increased its capital expenditures budget to P3.5 billion to support its accelerated
store expansion strategy on 2016. Hence, this may lead to lower revenues.
Competitive Market
IN addition to market access, the ease of doing business in a jurisdiction is also a decisive
factor for investors. According to the Global Competitiveness Index 2015-2016, the
Philippines ranked 47th out of 140 countries, while in the World Bank Doing Business
Report 2016, it ranked 103rd out of 189. This ranking demonstrates that the Philippine
business environment, despite positive developments in recent years, still remains
challenging. This serves as a barrier to entry.
