Firstly, critical causes consequences identified, called factors. Secondly, ISM model built, representing their hierarchy. Thirdly, MICMAC analysis performed, unfolding strength relationship among influencing Fourthly, measures designed act on mitigate identified previous steps. results show cosmetic analyzed do not take advantage opportunity leadership cost reduction, differentiation, engagement partners. “Financial risks” were as set risks, while “Technology innovation” “Legislation responsibility” root research could be implemented factors, thus contributing relating chains.
