boutiques, restaurants, bakeries and ice cream shops. This will be a perfect location for the
business because when people walk around the area they will feel intrigued to go into L’s
Shoes. Inside of L’s Shoes will be colorful paintings of historic events that happened in the small
town. There will be a big old shoe sculpture in the middle of the store as well. The town that L’s

Conclusion

above? First of all, because these statements can help your organization focus on what is really
important. Although your organization knows what you are trying to do to improve your
community, it's easy to lose sight of this when dealing with the day-to-day hassles that plague
all organizations. Your vision and mission statements help members remember what is
important as you go about doing your daily work” (The community tool box, 2013)
Mission and vision statement of a company are reliant of company’s customized values.
To achieve success in operation L’s Shoes will need to come up with a mission and vision

Introduction
`SWOTT examination is a crucial systematic device utilized for evaluating the elements
both external as well as internal which have an influence over the company. In existing business
conditions firms use SWOTT to assess their market standing regarding share of the market,
competitive edge as well as complete feasibility. SWOTT examination offers a company with
upgraded information about its achieved and achievable weaknesses and strengths, possible
opportunities, dangers as well as risks and business trends. The main elements of SWOTT
examination can be split under the heads of external as well as internal elements.
“A SWOTT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats and trends) analysis can help
you identify and understand key issues affecting your business, but it does not necessarily offer
solutions. You should be aware of the limitations as well as the benefits of a SWOT analysis
before you decide to conduct one. Knowing what you can reasonably expect to achieve will
make the SWOT analysis more useful for your business, and will save you time” (Benefits and
Limitations of SWOTT analysis, 2013)
This paper describes an in depth evaluation of elements external as well as internal
which can have an effect on the business of L’s Shoes. Because of this evaluation administration

regional factors, such as availability of skilled workforce, is frequently overstated. Nevertheless,
regional tax and regulatory burdens—real or perceived—can affect the location and resource
allocation decisions of companies and should be accounted for in regional economic analysis”
(Legal and regulatory environment, 2013). It is very important that L’s shoes have this in place
accordingly so the business will not be in position to put the business at risk. Legal issues is a
very delicate situation in the business world. L’s shoes will make sure that this will not happen
and will chose the right strategy to keep everything in line. Although, it is a small business there

It is very important that L’s shoes have this in place accordingly so the business will not be in position to put the business at risk.
