NEW
STRENGTHS First mover advantage Develop content in regional languages. Huge subscriber base Innovations- easy to understand. Expanded into developing educational products that were
employment oriented. low prices against competitors. Expansion through -Acquisition and joint ventures abroad
& integration and diversification strategies. Training for teachers acted as a barriers for new entrants. Shortage of teachers and NCLB helped it in tapping
tutorial market (SES).
SWOT ANALYSIS
Requires trained staff – so less teachers available. Devotion of time by female teachers. Govt. schools low spending on infrastructure. Awareness about other products than SMART
CLASS. Dependency on EDUCOMP for technical
assistance. Changes require investment. Charges on per student basis. 1.dependent on no. students. 2. dependent on reputation of school. Less acceptability in society.
WEAKNESSES
NCLB act of US. Emerging IT era. Lack of standardize and high quality
education in tier III towns. Shortage of over 2lakhs schools in country. Increased govt focus on education. Rising income of middle class segment &
educational priority for Indian parents. Analysts expected company to register
strong growth despite of economic slowdown.
OPPORTUNITIES
It’s a capital intensive business. Being an emerging and growing business it
invites competition. Analysts felt that payments from govt.
could be delayed. Risk of change in govt. policy. Gaining acceptance in tier II and tier III
cities.
