Required:
1. Conduct a SWOT analysis for HHI’s proposed electronic commerce Web site. You can use
the information in the case narrative, your personal knowledge of the retail hardware industry, and information you obtain by following links in the Online Companion or doing independent searches of the Web as you conduct your analysis. You should create a diagram
similar to Figure 1-12 to summarize your SWOT analysis results.
2. Based on your SWOT analysis, write a report of about 400 words that includes a summary
of your assumptions and a list of recommendations for HHI. The recommendations should
be specific and should address the content that HHI’s Web site should include, the features
that HHI should make available on the site, and how HHI might overcome any of the
weaknesses or threats you identified in the SWOT analysis
