KEY WORDS
7S McKinsey framework, five forces Porter's; SWOT analysis, skincare clinics.
Small and medium enterprises are always faced with uncertain market conditions, always growing rapidly to make the competition very competitive. One form of small and medium enterprises that are growing rapidly now is the beauty clinic business. Some beauty clinics that are now often found in big cities are beauty clinics that combine facial and body beauty services, and skin health consultations. Bandung is a city with a large beauty product market, based on data from the data (Bandung City Central Bureau of Statistics, 2017) also seen from the population of women aged 15-64 years, as many as 887,456 people or 49% of the population of Bandung in 2018, which is the target market of the beauty industry. This situation becomes a great potential that is utilized by the beauty industry services in the city of Bandung. The tendency of women to beautify themselves is closely related to the needs of women to come to beauty clinics.
The beauty clinic offers services by combining facial and body beauty services, and skin health consultations. Seen in figure 1 several beauty clinic practitioners in Bandung:

Figure 1 - Beauty clinic company in the city of Bandung
Based on figure 1 above, it appears that several skin care industry players in the city of Bandung have two to four branches. Alana Skincare is a market leader in beauty clinics in the city of Bandung with the most branches, which has four branches. Viewed from the number of branches, length of stay, results of care, and market share. Competition between beauty clinics is getting tighter because it raises an innovation in the world of beauty in the city of Bandung. The innovations include several beauty clinics that have used sophisticated and modern tools to be used in dealing with facial problems and beautifying their consumers. Among the skincare clinics above, Rafa Clinic is one of the techniques that have more than one branch, namely two branches in the city of Bandung. At present one of the cities that has become a trend in the beauty industry is the city of Bandung. Competition between beauty clinics in the city of Bandung is very strict accompanied by fashion trends among women is increasing.
Rafa beauty clinic is located in the city of Bandung, there since 2005. Currently, Rafa clinic has 3 branches spread in Bandung and Garut. Rafa Clinic is engaged in the field of aesthetic medicine, anti-aging medicine, and herbal aesthetic. The clinic is currently supported by high-tech equipment that is always the foremost, innovative and complete in overcoming all health and beauty problems. The Rafa Clinic has a complete range of treatments ranging from toe to head. Available Medical and Non-Medical Treatments, as well as safe and clinically tested care products that are tailored to the type and problem of the skin. Accompanied by Doctors, Pharmacists, Pharmacy and Beauty Therapists who are trained, professional, experienced and certified. With the motto "Beauty Aesthetics with Smart Way", Rafa is very following the times in terms of skincare, slimming and more.
Consumers will be more selective in choosing a beauty clinic that will be a place to subscribe, by looking at the services provided. Because, good service is also an important thing in the success of the beauty business. Rafa Clinic always strives to provide the best service for its consumers, but more and more competitors also provide different services for their customers. Also, consumers will choose beauty clinics that can provide cheaper prices with services that are not reduced at all. There is a problem with the Rafa Clinic compared to other skin care clinics, that is, every consumer is charged a fee when consulting a beauty doctor, but at several other beauty clinics, the consultation process is free. Consumers also become more selective in choosing cheaper prices with the same quality products and services, because consumers prefer services and products at the lowest possible prices.
Every company will try to compete with other companies that produce replacement products. With its ability to satisfy needs that are not much different from consumers, but with different characteristics, the price of a substitute product can be the highest limit of the price set by a company. Thus, a replacement product performs the same or similar function or service. This is certainly a pretty heavy problem faced by the Rafa Clinic. Some examples of beauty products that can replace Rafa Clinic products are Ashanty Beauty Skincare, Ertos facial treatment, Helwa Beauty, EMK Beverly Hills, and Dissy Cosmetics.
If you look at the problems faced, there is a need for a strategic planning analysis that will certainly strengthen the existence of the Rafa Clinic to keep attracting public attention. The identification is in line with what was revealed (Porter, 1980, 1996,1997) (Rulmet, 1984) there are five competitive forces in an industry, namely the threat of the entry of new entrants, the threat of substitute products, the bargaining power of buyers, the strength of supplier bargaining power, competition among competitors. These five competitive forces determine the intensity of competition and profitability in the industry and will be very important in the formulation of the company's strategy. The state of competition in an industry depends on the five competitive forces.
This research was conducted by analyzing the strategic planning that will be carried out by the Beauty Clinic by using the analysis of Five Forces Porter and 7S McKinsey, then analyzed through external factor analysis strategy (EFAS) and internal factor analysis strategy (IFAS) with approaches to strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis. With this analysis, it is hoped that it will produce further identification of the formulation of competitive strategies that can be done by the Rafa Clinic to continue to exist in a society that has cared a lot about appearance, especially skin and body beauty.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Business strategy is a comprehensive planning formula on how the company will achieve its objectives, taking into account its internal and external environment to maximize competitive advantage and minimize competing limitations (Rumelt, Schendel, & Teece, 1991; Teece, 2010). Strategic planning is part of strategic management. Strategic planning focuses on how top management determines the company's strategy to achieve company goals in the long run (Thune & House, 1970; Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). Strategic planning is a systematic effort something formal from the company, to describe the main form of the company, objectives, policies, and strategies, to achieve the target and the main form of the company concerned in managing the company today to do future projections (Kerzner, 2001;
2004).
Strategic planning is an effort made by a company to develop the company's vision and mission, culture, and business strategies needed to be implemented to achieve the company's targets (Haines, 2010). Strategic planning as a way to determine fundamental decisions to form and guide an organization with the aim of what must be done (Bryson, 1988). In preparing strategic planning, it is necessary to formulate the goals and objectives to be achieved by the company. The essence of strategic planning is knowing the opportunities and threats in the future, with the choice of steps needed and more appropriate to achieve the desired situation explicitly related to management of change and includes a series of innovations and changing companies (I. Ansoff, 1965; 1968; 2005; Simons, 1994; Rulmet, 1984; Ginsberg & Venkatraman, 2011; Nickols, 2016; Dey, Clegg, & Bennett, 2010).
The 7S framework was developed in the early 1980s by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman. There are 7 factors which are interdependent, each grouped into Soft & Hard elements. Soft Elements is more difficult to describe, less tangible and influenced by culture, namely: Shared Values, Skills, Style, and Staff. Hard Elements is easier to define and determine and management can directly influence it, namely: Strategy, Structure, Systems. 7S from McKinsey or better known as McKinsey 7S Framework is a management model to see how effective the organization is in achieving its desired goals (Savkin, 2015; Kaplan,
2005).
According to (Porter, 2008a; 2008b) there are five competitive forces in an industry, namely the threat of the entry of new entrants, the threat of substitute products, the bargaining power of buyers, the strength of supplier bargaining power, competition among competitors. These five competitive forces determine the intensity of competition and profitability in the industry and will be very important in the formulation of the company's strategy. According (David & David, 2017) the steps taken in the formulation of the strategy for the main stage are the formulation of a strategy consisting of IFAS (internal factor analysis strategy) is a strategy formulation tool used to summarize and evaluate the main strengths and weaknesses in the scope of business functions, and also becomes the basis for identifying and evaluating the relationships between these areas, then EFAS (external factor analysis strategy) that enables strategy makers to summarize and evaluate political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological information. A thorough understanding of the factors included in it is more important than the numbers available.
In general, companies must monitor the strength of the macro environment (demography, economy, technology, politics, law, and social culture) and micro-environmental actors (consumers, competitors, distribution channels, suppliers) that affect the ability to earn profits. Companies must have marketing intelligence capabilities to follow trends or developments, management needs to identify opportunities and threats posed (Rangkuti, 2013).
According to (Rangkuti, 2015) explained that SWOT analysis is the identification of various factors systematically to formulate a company's strategy, based on a logic that can maximize strengths and opportunities, but simultaneously minimize weaknesses and threats SWOT analysis has important roles and functions in the planning process and strategic decision making. A SWOT analysis is an integrated analysis framework between internal companies and the external environment, by building a SWOT approach. A SWOT analysis
is also a tool to identify whether the strategic decisions that have been taken or determined are correct or not (Assauri, 2011). From the analysis, an overall picture of the general condition of the company will be obtained. The results of the analysis are expected to help companies improve their competency and capability (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010).
RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
The Strategic Planning Analysis Process of Beauty Aesthetic Clinic Rafa Health and Beauty was conducted through a series of analyzes, which began with identifying the vision and mission of the Rafa Skincare Beauty Clinic. Then proceed by analyzing external environmental factors and internal environment. External environment analysis in the form of opportunities and threats using Five Forces Porter. While the analysis of the internal environment in the form of strengths and weaknesses of the company (7s Mckinsey). After identifying the vision and mission and analyzing the environmental situation, the two steps are needed to formulate a strategy, at this stage, there are two steps in determining the strategy.
First, determine the alternative strategy using the SWOT matrix. After the strategy is obtained, the next stage is the formulation of long-term goals and objectives. From the results of the strategy formulation, there will be strengths and weaknesses, and what opportunities and threats will be faced by the Rafa Health and Beauty Aesthetic Beauty Clinic in Bandung City. This will be a reference material that will strengthen and clarify the direction of the goals and objectives to be achieved in the next five years.
Based on the strategies generated from the above steps and by taking into account the vision and mission, environmental factors, and goals and objectives, strategies, programs, and action plans can be established to support the competitive strategy of Rafa Health and Beauty's Aesthetic Beauty Clinic in Bandung. This research framework is listed in Figure 2.
Figure 2 - Research Framework
METHODS OF RESEARCH
The research method that will be used is qualitative with in-depth exploration (Gunawan, 2013) about the object of research, namely SWOT analysis at the Rafa Health
and Beauty Lifestyle Beauty Clinic. The basis of the theoretical foundation of qualitative research rests on phenomenology and excavation of meaning in research. In a qualitative approach, the position of the theory is an end product that must be produced. The research design is built on a set of assumptions and concepts developed from relevant theories that exist.
The informant's sources in this study were from the Rafa Beauty Clinic to get information about the company's Vision and mission, to know the circumstances of internal environmental factors and external factors, then to find out the level to meet the interests of the SWOT attribute. Then the party from the Bandung Small and Medium Enterprises Cooperative Office, to get data on the number of units and the value of contributions and how the growth rate of the Bandung City beauty clinic.
The researcher used the technique of checking data validity (trustworthiness) put forward by (Sugiyono, 2010; 2016) including the test of credibility, transferability (external validity), dependability (reliability), and confirmability (objectivity). After the data is valid, then the data presented by the researcher is obtained from the results of observations and interviews consisting of an analysis of five forces porters which will be an external environmental factor, and 7S McKinsey which is an internal environmental factor. Furthermore, these factors will be further analyzed based on the SWOT matrix assessment. Matix SWOT is processed based on EFAS (External factor analysis strategy) and IFAS (Internal factor analysis strategy). Strategy analysis through the SWOT matrix is a technique that can objectively establish priority strategies that are prioritized, as a technique that aims to determine business strategies in Beauty Clinics, analysis to determine business strategy requires good intuitive judgment. So this study uses a qualitative approach with the technique of in-depth interviews with informants.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
According to (Pearce & Robinson, 2011), a strategy is a large-scale plan that is long-term oriented to interact with a competitive environment to achieve company goals. Strategic analysis is carried out to gather information from informants who will form the basis of strategy formulation. According to (Tunggal AW., 2009) explained that business strategy is a strategy that must be made as to the main thinking base in making information technology strategies because in the strategy mentioned the company's vision and mission along with the performance targets of each function and organizational structure. According to (Ward & Peppard, 2002), business strategy is a solution that aims to achieve long-term goals. Business strategies are formulated to determine how an organization becomes more competitive than its previous position (Rumelt, 2012; Rumelt et al., 1991; Corrocher & Guerzoni, 2009; Ginsberg & Venkatraman, 2011; Slater & Narver, 1994; Thune & House, 1970; Chang & Horng, 2010).
According to (David, 2011; David & Carolina, 2011) the process of formulating a company's strategy includes three stages, namely; input stage, matching stage and decision stage. The input stage contains basic input information needed to formulate a strategy. The matching stage focuses on creating alternative strategies that make sense by taking into account the main internal and external factors. The decision stage serves to objectively evaluate alternative strategies identified at the matching stage and provide an objective foundation for the selection of alternative strategies. Strategy analysis is an evaluation of internal factors (IFAS) and external factors (EFAS) of the Beauty Clinic. Internal environmental factors in the form of strengths and weaknesses were analyzed through 7S McKinsey (Waterman, Peters, & Phillips, 1980; Kaplan, 2005; Savkin, 2015; Fleisher & Bensoussan, 2007; Ravanfar, 2015; 2017). External environmental factors in the form of opportunities and threats obtained based on the analysis of five forces porters (M E Porter, 1979; 2008) at the Rafa Clinic Beauty Clinic. After that, then the results of IFAS and EFAS analysis become a reference for the formulation of the SWOT Matrix (Rangkuti, 2015) too produce a business position Quadrant thatcano create alternative strategies for the Rafa Clinic Beauty Clinic.
For internal analysis, this study utilizes McKinsey's 7s framework of Strategy, Structure, Systems, Skills, Style, HR, and Value. By using this framework, analysis of internal conditions can be done in full.

The internal environmental factors are then included in the IFAS table to get the weight and rating that shows the importance of a factor compared to other factors. The value given in the weight column is a number between 1.0 (very important) to 0.0 (not important) according to the state of the factors being assessed. And the value given for the rating column is as follows: (Very good = 4); (Good = 3); (Good enough = 2); (Not good = 1).
The value of weight for positive strength is given according to the most prominent strategic factors or the size of the strength factor compared to other strategic factors. Whereas the negative weakness weight value is given in the opposite way of strength, where if the weakness is below the average it is given a value of 4, but if the weakness is above the average is given a value 1. The IFAS weighting and calculations table can be seen in the following table:

Total S+O atau (A)+(C) 4.45 Total W+T atau (B)+(D) 1.245
In the matrix table combining IFAS + EFAS above, we can see the comparison that:
Strengths + Opportunities (4.45) > Weaknesses + Threats (1.245)
Strengths representing strong internal factors and opportunities are environmental factors that support the creation of excellence at the Rafa Beauty Clinic. Strength and Opportunity are positive for the company. So that the total Strengths and Opportunities (S-O) values are positive. Weaknesses represent weak internal factors and threats are environmental factors that do not support the company and even become a threat that drops. So that Weaknesses and Threats (W-T) are negative. The final value indicated by the SWOT matrix is S-O which is 4.45, while W-T is -1.245, so it will form the position of the SWOT quadrant.
From the results of the analysis of internal and external factors of the Rafa Health and Beauty Beauty Clinic using the matrix internal factor analysis strategy (IFAS) and matrix external factor analysis strategy (EFAS), the results of the matrix are poured into the SWOT quadrant diagram. The strategic position shown from the SWOT results is in Quadrant II, which is the position of W-O with an X-axis value of -1.245 and axis-Y of 4.45. The position of W-O in quadrant II is a strategy produced through exploiting opportunities by overcoming weaknesses in the Rafa Health and Beauty Beauty Clinic.
So to overcome weaknesses and threats from outside the company, strategic strength and opportunity factors will support the achievement of the way out of the existing problems to get the expected recommendations. And the diagram, and from the previous analysis, the SWOT Quadrant Matrix can be seen as follows:
Figure 3 - SWOT Diagram Analysis of Rafa Beauty Clinic
Quadrant I: A favorable situation. the company has strengths and opportunities, so that it can direct all the potential of the internal environment to take advantage of existing opportunities. The strategy that must be applied in this condition is to support an aggressive growth policy, but the clinic is not yet in this position.
Quadrant II: Despite facing various threats, the company still has internal strength. The strategy that must be implemented is to use the power to take advantage of long-term opportunities using diversification strategies. Diversification of the RAFA clinic is to make a different strategy (other than usual) by utilizing the strength of the internal environmen, so that in the future it will enable the creation of opportunities.
Quadrantt III: companies get opportunities from a large external environment, but on the other hand, always face several obstacles/weaknessess. The company's focus in this position is to minimize the company's internal problems so that it can seize the opportunity from these external conditions well.
Quadrant IV: this position is a very unfavorable situation, the company faces various threats and weaknesses. The strategy that must be used in this position is to defend ourselves to build internal strengths and minimize weaknesses.
From the diagram above, it can be determined that the strategies that need to be implemented to develop the business strategy of the Rafa Health and Beauty Lifestyle Beauty Clinic are Turn-Around Strategies where the Beauty Clinic of Rafa Health and Beauty Lifestyle faces very large market opportunities, but on the other hand faces several obstacles or problems internal. The focus of the strategy is to minimize internal problems so that they can win better market opportunities.
The Rafa Health and Beauty Lifestyle Beauty Clinic is in an industry where the market is growing rapidly, intensive or aggressive strategies are usually the first choice to think about. However, if the Rafa Health and Beauty Lifestyle Beauty Clinic does not have unique competence or competitive advantage, it will be difficult to balance the internal capabilities of the business with existing market opportunities. So to overcome this, the Rafa Health and Beauty Lifestyle Beauty Clinic needs to use several alternatives and more strategic strategies based on the results of the SWOT quadrant analysis which results in a reference to using a turn-around strategy. This is to find solutions to internal problems and to create a strategy for developing the Rafa Health and Beauty Beauty Clinic so that it can be superior to competitors and win the market.
Based on the results of the research conducted, the Rafa Health and Beauty Lifestyle Beauty Clinic is a Beauty Service in the criteria for the level of realization, namely goods service, according to (Stephen P. Robins, 2012) Strategic management is important because it can make a difference in how well an organization performs and relates to reality that organizations of all types and sizes face a changing situation. Rafa Beauty Clinic has been able to compete with its competitors and has greater opportunities because it can reduce prices and provide good and optimal services to consumers.
Based on the results of the external and internal environmental analysis of this business using the EFAS matrix method (External Factors Analysis Summary) and the IFAS (Internal Factors Analysis Summary) matrix showing that the Rafa Beauty Clinic on strength has a total of 2,005 while the weaknesses has a total of 0.75, and opportunity factors have a total of 2,445 while the threat factor has a total of 0.495. Which then all the sub-totals are poured into the SWOT diagram and produce the Rafa Beauty Clinic in Quadrant II, that is, the right strategy implemented is a turn-around strategy (Retrenchment) that is designed to strengthen the basic competencies of a unique organization.
According to (Banister, 2006) Companies that are in Quadrant II need to evaluate their current approach to the market seriously. Even though their company is growing, they are unable to compete effectively and need to determine why the company's current approach is ineffective and how the company can change in the best way to improve its competitiveness. Because Quadrant II companies are in industries whose markets are growing rapidly, so several strategies can be used, namely market development, market penetration, product development, and horizontal diversification. According to (Banister, 2006) Companies that are in Quadrant II need to evaluate their current approach to the market seriously. even though their company is growing, they are unable to compete effectively and need to determine why the company's current approach is ineffective and how the company can change in the best way to improve its competitiveness. Because Quadrant II companies are in industries whose markets are growing rapidly, so several strategies can be used, namely market development, market penetration, product development, and horizontal diversification.
Based on the results of the initial observation, it was found that the phenomenon of competitive behavior among the fashion industry specifically the beauty clinic was very unique. There is competition marked by the many competitive actions carried out by beauty
clinics or skin care companies, such as price cuts, the emergence of sophisticated tools that support skincare clinics, the existence of special programs that attract the hearts of consumers, and massive promotions.
Furthermore, in the results of the SWOT matrix analysis, the Rafa Beauty Clinic business produces several alternative strategies, namely: Increasing promotional activities in efforts to develop and penetrate markets; improve product quality to obtain customer loyalty to be able to repeat orders; Rafa Beauty Clinics must be selective in choosing suppliers that offer great benefits for both parties; Make or add services and facilities in efforts to horizontal diversification; Train new employees and set standards of expertise for employees to be able to compete based on HR aspects, then recruit professional beauty specialists; add a network of raw material suppliers to improve production capacity and then develop products by utilizing technology to meet market demands.
The alternative strategy is designed in such a way as to increase the income of the Rafa Beauty Clinic so that it can develop into a larger business. Thus, if the Rafa Beauty Clinic has implemented a strategy based on the advice given by the SWOT matrix, it will be able to create a competitive advantage. Special attention also lies in the Long-term strategy so that Rafa Beauty Clinic can create competitive advantage continuously.
CONCLUSION
The Rafa Health and Beauty Lifestyle Beauty Clinic is in an industry where the market is growing rapidly, intensive or aggressive strategies are usually the first choice to think about.
