Executive Summary
The underlying influence of the macroeconomics factors has helped determine the firms
immediate position in terms of operation. The macroeconomic factors in both Australia and New
Zealand, where the company operates, prove to be favourable to steer future success and growth.
By use of the Porters Five model, the paper has established that industry upon which the
company operates is portrayed by weak competition in casino business, which is a plus in regards
to competitive advantage and higher levels of revenues. The hotel industry, however; experiences
high competition due to the easement of entry into this market by smaller businesses. In fact,
most of the firms revenues emanates from gaming as opposed to business unit. However, in an
effort to shield its future profits and growth, SKC has engaged in a multiple level of activities that
include; partnering with Auckland Council to open a gaming street and the launching of new
loyalty program aimed at sustaining future customer base.
