A glance at DPZ SWOT

In lieu of chapter #3, Assessing the Internal Environment of the firm, two brief thoughts come to mind.

Check out this time capsule from 2024, a SWOT analysis of DPZ. It cites international expansion as an opportunity for growth. Did our geo-politics in the past year reshaped this strategy? Furthermore, GLP-1 were not cited as a threat, where as it is on the mind of investors today. This illustrates the fluidity of today's economy.

DPZ' strengths include its investment in technology, including its online ordering platform. Ease of ordering and delivery experience is one way to cater towards busy customers. Second, DPZ' asset light franchise model brings a strong revenue from royalties and its supply chain. Using the resource based view of the firm, this can be viewed as a valuable tangible asset. Whether it is difficult to imitate will have a significant impact on DPZ' competitiveness going forward.
