QUESTION 1: Analysis of Theomei Apparel's External
Environment
, 1. Economic Environment
Theomei Apparel operates in an environment where
economic factors such as inflation, interest rates, and the
overall economic health of South Africa play a significant
role. Given that Theomei's core business is manufacturing,
rising costs of raw materials due to inflation could affect
their profitability. Additionally, the economic recovery
post-COVID-19 may impact demand for medical and
beauty industry scrubs. A positive economic environment,
with increasing demand for healthcare services, could lead
to growth opportunities, while high unemployment rates
may enable the company to source affordable labor.
2. Technological Environment
Technological advancements present both opportunities
and challenges for Theomei Apparel. The company could
leverage modern sewing and fabric-cutting technologies to
increase production efficiency. However, it must remain up
to date with the latest developments in fabric technology,
such as antimicrobial or eco-friendly materials, which are
increasingly demanded by the medical and beauty
industries. Adopting e-commerce platforms to increase
online sales and implementing software solutions for
managing orders and inventory could further streamline
operations.
3. Political and Legal Environment
