The co-founder, Mr Woo worry that if this trend persists, he would not be able to sustain his business. This case explore the reasons for why this happened and what can be done to improve the situation. An analysis of industry background and company background was carried out to identify the internal and external environment and issues facing the company. Case analysis was done through Porter’s Five Forces, Fishbone analysis, SWOT and TOWS matrix analysis. In order to gain insights on the issue, interviews were conducted with co-founders, competitors and customers. In addition, a public survey was conducted with 37 car owners responding to the survey, to gain more understanding on car coating perceptions by the public. Documents such as company profile, sales report and product brochure were utilized to gain necessary data and information.
