8. WEAKNESS: Godrej hard to inspire vision and direction for large company. Godrej is not a widely known brand in foreign countries. OPPORTUNITY Godrej still can tap the younger demographic of society. Godrej's investment in furniture is innovative as no other major company has ventured into that avenue. Godrej is in no danger of liquidation because it is involved in industries; hence it has the opportunity to spend money on a marketing campaign.
