Anthem Inc has not conducted enough market research
within its niche since the past two years. As a result, the
company is making decisions that are based on two years
old market data.
• Diversification in workplace: The workplace culture of
Anthem is mostly populated by local employees. The lack of
enough workers across different nationalities and
diversifications make the company suffer loss of talent.
Weaknesses of Anthem Inc

comparatively low due to company culture and politics. Many
qualified and skilled employees have been leaving the company in
the recent years, which could eventually give rise to shortage of
talent in the company in the near future.

threats if their products with high market share suffer for any
particular reason.
Weaknesses of Anthem Inc
• E-Commerce: The E-commerce industry has experienced
significant growth in the recent years. This could benefit the

revenues by opening online stores and offering their services via
digitised mediums.
• Technological Advancements: Technology, in today’s world,

automated with the help of technology. In addition,

grow in the upcoming years. This means

potential consumers in the near future.

industry is currently flourishing. With a
decreased transportation cost, Anthem Inc will
be able to reduce its net cost altogether.
Opportunities of Anthem Inc
• Subsidy on Sale: The Government has recently
announced subsidy on sale of environment-friendly
good in this particular domain. This will give Anthem a
good opportunity to focus on production of
environment-friendly goods and services with an
increased sales rate.
• Beneficial Tax Policy: The reduced tax rate policy
supported by the government is beneficial for the
company as lower amount of tax expenses will be
shelled out in the near future.
Opportunities of Anthem Inc
• Growth in Tourism: Growth in tourism results in an
increased tourist footfall. This means the company
will be able to target more potential customers in
order to gain better market share.
• Globalisation: With an increased globalisation graph
prevalent in today’s world, Anthem Inc shall no more
be restricted to its national boundary. This means
the company will be able to trade beyond USA, thus
ensuring better business opportunities in the near
future.
Opportunities of Anthem Inc
• Suppliers: The market has seen an increased rate of the
bargaining power of the suppliers. This indicates the fact
that the cost of inputs could increase for the company.
• New Competitors: With new entrants in the market,
there has been a increased rate of market competitors for
Anthem Inc. This means the company needs to buckle up
with their research methodologies with updated
strategies to be implemented.
Threats of Anthem Inc
• Rise in price of fuel: The rise in price of fuel has
eventually increased the input costs for Anthem. This,
as a result, has lead to an increased company cost,
thus impacting its operations from financial aspect.
• Constant technological advancements: Constant
technological advancements require employees to be
trained in accordance with the latest industry trends.
It could prove to be a threat if Anthem Inc fails to
keep up with the pace and every latest technological
development that needs to be embraced with time.
Threats of Anthem Inc
• Exchange Rate: It has been reported that the exchange
rate keeps fluctuating. This, as a result, impacts a
company like Anthem Inc. It has sales internationally,
while on the hand, the suppliers are local.
• Changing Consumer Taste: It’s a known fact that consumer
tastes are rapidly changing with each passing day. Thus,
the phenomenon may affect the company’s growth. With
changing consumer tastes, target audience of Anthem
may express interest in other contemporary services and
products in the healthcare insurance industry.
Threats of Anthem Inc
• To end with, it is to be mentioned that there
can be an overlap of strengths and
weaknesses, with a single factor acting both
as strength and weakness at the same time.
• Since the analysis does not show its
objectives, it should be used as a starting
point to create and implement strategic
decisions instead of accepting it as a closure.
Conclusion
• The aspects mentioned and the factors listed in the
SWOT analysis may be revisited by the company.
• Since the SWOT analysis is a static observation, it
doesn’t consider the fact that further changes could
be made in competitive environment.
• It is also to be mentioned that there are
interrelationships between external and internal
factors that the SWOT tends to overlook
