Swot Analysis Paper

The analysis reflects the level of retail sales and the manner in which these are taxed and reported. Distinctions among classes of merchandise are always subject to evaluation and discussion. To the extent that merchandise or services are reclassified for any reason, the projections here will also change.

The analysis reflects a variety of considerations including: Perceptions about the Project itself (e.g. design, tenant mix, location, etc.). Its vulnerability to competing concepts.
