...Evaluating Emerging Opportunities in UK’s Health Spa Industry Abstract The purpose of this report is to research the Indian Spa company, ISC’s potential on the UK’s market. The findings gave both positive and negative answers in terms of the research question: Should ISC enter the UK Health market? The SLEPT analysis led us to conclude that ISC could potentially handle the macro environment of UK well. The market analysis showed the astonishing market potential availability in the country. The firm’s human capital, external network and financial health showed that the company is well equipped to potentially run a subsidiary within UK. Thus the advice to ISC is, therefore: enter the UK Health market. ISC (Indian Spa Company) is a fictional company.

The Hair Salon is located in an area to small too be considered a strip mall, and apparently too small to handle all of its clients cars. It is the third in a row of three shops, although the first is a former ice cream shop, the second a coffee and doughnut shop which was for rent. I knew all the drivers of the automobiles in the lot were in the Hair Salon, as the car wash across the street did not open until 9 a.m. Every Saturday morning here begins with a full parking lot. Once I found a parking spot, I was ready to begin my observation of Final Faze Barber & Beauty Salon, which specializes in all your hair care needs. I walked in to the Hair Salon looking for a corner seat. Air coming through the open door chilled the shop interior, which was filled with customers just fifteen minutes after the shop opened. The stares from those already seated in the shop’s red plastic chairs along the wall in the seating area, as well as from those in the stylist chair getting haircuts. As you wait for your turn in the stylist black chair you can look at hair magazines, read books, watch television, gossip on the hot topic for the day, and catch up on current events.

...SWOT Analysis * Human Resources- Staffs Strengths: La Belleza Salon and Spa salon has 9 staffs. This indicates that the salon is not that big compared to known salons like Bench Fix, Davids’ salon and other salons who has branches in different cities. With this, having only 9 staffs is easy to manage and to communicate with staffs and the manager. The salaries expense is not that big as well because the salon has few staffs. Weaknesses: For the information that the market of the salon to where it is located consists of 8,000 residences living in that subdivision. Therefore, the salon doesn’t have enough staffs to handle with the market people they have. They will have hard time handling the customers especially when customers are coming in and out continuously. The customers won’t be patient enough to wait for their turn since the salon is new. * Physical Resources- Location Strengths: La Belleza Nail and Spa salon is new, so basically their equipments are also new. The furnitures and the interior of the salon are fresh so people would love to visit and try their services. Renovation is not needed. The salon is located inside a mall in village, we can tell that the rent expense would not cost much compared if they have their own establishment. Weaknesses: The salon is located inside the mall of the subdivision, so basically homeowners and residents are the one who will visit and be able to see the salon. The market people are 8,000...
