Hi All,
A S.W.O.T analysis enables strategists/organizations planners to determine whether a company’s strategies fit or does not fit with its strengths and indicates the need for action. In a S.W.OT analysis, strengths and weaknesses focus on an organization’s internal environment. Its strengths are its core competencies and intellectual capital or knowledge base which the company can utilize to build or reach its goal. Weaknesses retard or inhibit performance capabilities. Plunkett and Attner (1977) called them gaps in manager’s or the organization’s expertise, experience and the unavailability of required resources. Strategies therefore should be designed to either eliminate or compensate for them. The assessment of the external environment focuses on the identification of threats and opportunities. Threats are the factors that can hinder or prevent the achievement of a company’s goals. Opportunities are the reverse.
