When creating this SWOT the team at Platform Executive have taken into consideration the corporate strategy; brand; key financials; the competitive landscape; along with the products and/or services offered.

To offer increased context for future innovation and product development we also consider the historical context for the business and industry; and perceived direction of travel.

Upon researching the company, we have uncovered a number of strategic and operational strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Strengths

Below is a list of the strengths we have identified for the business:

1. CGN Power is a leading nuclear power company in China with over 30 years of experience in nuclear power generation.

2. CGN Power has a strong nuclear safety record with a comprehensive safety management system.

3. CGN Power has a strong technical team with extensive experience in nuclear power plant operation and maintenance.

4. CGN Power has a diversified business portfolio with nuclear power plants under construction in China and abroad.

Opportunities

Below is a list of opportunities we have identified for the business:

1. Expand into new markets: CGN Power can leverage its extensive expertise and experience in the energy sector to expand into emerging markets. This could be achieved by forming joint ventures and strategic partnerships with local partners, as well as by investing in research and development to develop innovative solutions for meeting energy needs in new markets.

2. Increase efficiency: CGN Power can focus on improving operational efficiency by implementing more advanced technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, to optimize energy production and distribution. This could help the company reduce its costs and increase profitability.

4. Acquire other companies: CGN Power can look for opportunities to acquire other companies in the energy sector to expand its market share and increase its revenue. This could be achieved by entering into strategic partnerships or acquiring minority stakes in other companies.

Weaknesses

Below is a list of the weaknesses we have identified for the business:

1. CGN Power is heavily reliant on the Chinese market, which represents around 95% of its total revenues. This exposes the company to significant risks should the Chinese economy experience a slowdown.

2. CGN Power has a high debt-to-equity ratio, which stood at around 80% as of December 2016. This leaves the company vulnerable to interest rate hikes and/or a deterioration in its operating performance.

3. The company has been investing heavily in recent years, which has led to a sharp increase in its debt levels. As of December 2016, CGN Power had around RMB 85 billion (US$12.4 billion) of debt on its balance sheet.

4. CGN Power is majority-owned by the Chinese government-owned China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC). This raises concerns over the company's corporate governance and transparency.

Threats

Below is a list of the threats we have identified for the business:

1. Increasing competition from foreign power generation companies: CGN Power is facing increasing competition from foreign power generation companies, particularly in the Chinese market, which can put pressure on its profits and market share.

2. Inadequate infrastructure: CGN Power's business operations are reliant on adequate infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and transmission lines, which are often lacking in remote areas or underdeveloped countries. Without adequate infrastructure, CGN Power cannot reach its potential customers, and its operations can be disrupted.

3. Rising fuel costs: Rising fuel costs can significantly impact CGN Power's ability to generate and sell power profitably. In the short term, CGN Power may not be able to pass on the higher costs to its customers, which can significantly reduce its margins.

4. Regulatory uncertainty: CGN Power is subject to a variety of regulations, both in its home market and in other countries where it operates. Changes to these regulations can drastically alter the cost structure of its operations, and therefore its profitability.

Innovation Scorecard

As part of our research and analysis activity, the team at Platform Executive assesses and then benchmarks businesses and the industry verticals in which they operate using a proprietary scoring mechanism.

First, we allocate a score of A-E for the industry vertical, gauged on the key organisations operating within the space; and then score the individual business using a 1-5 score.

A score of D-E within an industry means that it is potentially ripe to be disrupted by a new entrant into the marketplace; and/or vulnerable to technological change.

Likewise, a high score of 4-5 for the company in question indicates that in the view of the analysis team it lags behind notable businesses in terms of innovation and product pipeline.

Below is a guide to each score:

Industry score:

A	The industry is amongst the most innovative; with the leading players all driving the sector forward. Example industry: PaaS
B	The industry and its leading players have a good track record of innovation; and can quickly react to change. Example industry: Pharmaceutical
C	Companies operating within the sector have adequate levels of innovation; and engage in R&D activities when appropriate. Example industry: FMCG
D	Businesses operating in the industry do not invest enough time and resource into innovation. The sector is stagnant and a good candidate for disruption. Example industry: Retail Banking
E	The major players in the sector seem to lack suitable product development roadmaps; and as a result the sector is highly vulnerable to industry change. Example industry: Publishing

Company score:

1	The business is amongst the leading players in terms innovation and product pipeline. This will fulfil and reinforce the operations of the business in the medium to long-term.
2	The business has a good track record of innovation, in terms of its products and/or its business model. It is therefore more likely to be able to react and adapt to any changes to the industry.
3	The business is deemed to have an adequate innovation plan, build on research and development and sustainability where appropriate. The business has a product development strategy.
4	The business needs to invest more resource and/or intellectual capital in product development, pipelines and/or its business model. The business is at risk of stagnation.
5	The business seems to lack a suitable product development roadmap; and as a result is vulnerable to any notable industry change and/or new entrants in the marketplace.
