Prepare, in a table format, a SWOTT analysis on any real company in the auto industry. As you prepare your analysis, it must be based on the following definitions for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and trends.

Strengths: These are characteristics of a company that are stronger than its competitors are. If a company is good at something, but its competitors are as well, then it is not a strength.
Weaknesses: These are characteristics of a company that are weaker than its competitors are. If a company is weak at something, but its competitors are as well, then it is not a weakness.
Opportunities: These are issues that are external to a company that can affect the company and its competitors in a favorable way.
Threats: These are issues that are external to a company that can affect the company and its competitors in an unfavorable way.
Trends: These are developing opportunities and threats.

Deliverable Format

It should have at least eight rows for factors that are important to the success of a firm in that particular industry including:

Type of Corporation
Federal Regulations and Liability
Price, Cost, Supply and Demand
Code of Conduct
Globalization, Global Trade and Global Strategy
Labor, Employment Law, and Discrimination
Economic Conditions (including Monetary Policy, Inflation, and Recession)

Cells should have one to two sentences of explanation as to why each has been identified as a strength, weakness, opportunity, threat, or trend. Not every identified factor will have all of its row of cells annotated.
