The project also consists of a valuation of an average AZO store in order to determine a recommendation for AZO’s future strategy. The market analysis of all current and potential threats and opportunities gave us the needed understanding of the industry AZO is operating in. Based on that we made an assessment, aligned to AZO’s SWOT analysis, how AZO can gain the most benefits from the market through working on its current strengths and weaknesses. Thereby, we discussed parts of AZO’s strategy and operation processes that have to be modified in order to outperform the domestic and Mexican competition like in the past.
