Please review carefully. there is a 1400 word paper plus a small for that goes with it. I attached last weeks work for review. Each of the items in the table of contents should have a SECTION Heading within the Paper *** TIP - Keep in mind that Strengths and Weaknesses are internal forces...and Opportunities, Threats, and Trends are external forces. Consider how these affect YOUR company that you are creating for this class. I recommend that you create a table within your document (not a separate spreadsheet...best to use the template I provided). I have attached an example of a SWOTT table (template). The cells that are highlighted with color are the ones you should complete for that specific factor (S&W = internal and OTT = external). Please use the table I provide. Be sure to carefully read all the requirements for this assignment...there are a few that are often missed. Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines. Include 2 references
