WEAKNESS
•
Celcom’s current facilities are crowded; there is little room for new employers
or equipment’s to fit into the company.
•
Celcom is reactive rather than assertive in its marketing efforts because of its
heavy reliance on customer’s reaction for product satisfaction.
•
While the staff size improves growth and communication, it also impedes
commitment on the side of the staff and lack of specialization.
•
Both the product line and the client base lack diversification. Dependence on
current recorder rates could bleed complacency, invite competition, or create
false sense of customer satisfaction. Development of a product that would
provide better quality service by the competitors would probably put Celcom
out of business.
•
The non-seasonality of the products and services creates bottleneck in
productivity and cash flows, places excessive stress on the personnel and
strains on the facility.

•
The poor niche market could be a competitive advantage for their competitors
to gain an advantage over them, and this could lead to a dramatic decrease in
customer’s loyalty.
•
High cost of products and service could alter the buying power of the
consumers, especially in this time of global recession.
