One of the major threats seen by those at Resene is their size. In their market, they are seen as very small and worry about their financial position in comparison to their larger competitors. The larger companies have the ability and capital to devote to innovation and sales while the resources at Resene are very limited.
Another threat is their inability to initiate a product launch. The people at Resene let word of mouth be their advertising campaign and allow the product and it's quality to speak for itself.
Resene faces many threats where their cost structure is concerned. Because they are such a small company that prides themselves in quality, they have a major cost disadvantage compared to their competitors.
