A SWOT Analysis of Identix Inc

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
analysis on Identix Inc shows why the company is in such as strong position at the moment. The main strength which should be weighted the most heavily and prioritised  is the core competence of technological knowledge. However, it is also the ability to make use of this in commercially attractive applications that has created the leading position within the  biometrics industry.

This was an extension on the original two year project that was started in 2000, indicating the satisfaction at the progress  so far (Business Wire, 2003).
