India: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats

INDIA IS A LAND of ancient civilization, with cities and villages, cultivated fields, and great works of art dating back 4,000 years. Her glorious past, natural beauty, resources, vast size and above all her unique geographical location has always given her the pride of place in the world. India, like any other developing country, has it’s own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. To create a vision of what India will be like in, say, 10 years, we need to analyze these strengths and weaknesses. India’s largest strength is it’s geographical location. For countries located in particular time zones or around large populations, geographic location can have a particular advantage. India has a location between the large population and business hubs of Asia and those of Europe. India also has a powerful democracy. We have a strong constitution, and the citizens of India enjoy freedom and equality. India has a large internal market. Countries with large domestic markets benefit from tougher competition at home. This provides consumers with better choices and higher quality goods. Large domestic markets also help produce world beating industry champions, because the internal market is so competitive that any company that makes it international can draw from their experience. India's large, English-speaking workforce provides international competitive advantages, because English is the default global business language. India is fortunate enough to be extremely rich in natural resources like iron ore, coal, mica, copper, etc. Having natural resources within the country means that India does not have to import most minerals from other countries. India also has many other strengths like a very powerful army, large workforce, enormous Supply of Cheap labor, large Internal Market, an extremely good system of education, etc. Now, coming to the weaknesses, India

    India is a stable democracy, but terrorism and its relationships with its neighbors continue to be a problem Since India gained independence in 1947, the country's political stability has allowed it to maintain its position as the largest democracy in the world. Harboring vast regional and cultural variation, it has survived as a nation in spite of insurgencies in the northeast, the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir, and the growing threat from revolutionary communist Naxalite groups. Economic liberalization in 1991 not only led to rapid economic growth, but also brought India closer to North America and Western Europe, although the country also maintains strong ties with Russia, continuing relations established with the former USSR. Despite these successes, India has a long way to go to improve its performance in terms of political stability, as well as its ability to prevent terrorism and violence. The key challenges that India has faced and continues to face relate to its relationships with its neighbors, such as Pakistan, China and Bangladesh. While the Indian economy is inherently strong, poor infrastructure continues to hinder growth The Indian economy witnessed robust growth during 2005–07, registering an average GDP growth rate of 9.5% over the period. However, the global financial crisis brought down the growth momentum of the economy, and real GDP came down sharply to reach 6.4% in 2008. However, the economy recovered in 2009 to post a GDP growth rate of 7.4%. The country’s GDP is estimated to reach 8.5% in 2010 indicating a smart economic recovery. India’s GDP growth rate…

    The article shows us how India diversified its economy by creating new avenues of trade when its manufacturing market took a dive nose. India saw there was a need in the international market for outsourcing, call centers and engineering talents and it took advantage of it by harnessing its labor abundance to provide them with a competitive advantage.. A country has the comparative advantage of producing a good if the opportunity cost of producing that good is lower in that country than it is in another country. India has now become the international leader in providing these goods and services to the big powers especially the U.S., because it can produce them cheaply because of its abundance of low cost labor.
