Assessment
Preparation
Choose an organization on which to complete a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. Ideally, the company you choose will be a familiar one and one to which you have easy access, such as your place of employment or a company close to where you live. You may use the same organization for other assessments in this course. Think of yourself as an outside consultant hired to research, assess, formulate, recommend, and evaluate your selected organization.
It is important to remember that opportunities and threats are external to an organization, and strengths and weaknesses are internal to an organization.
SWOT Analysis
Complete the following:
1. First, identify and describe what you consider to be your chosen organization's internal strengths and weaknesses. Examples of internal factors include employees, management, and finance. Use the terms "Strengths" and "Weaknesses" as titles. Then, list three or more factors under each title and describe them.
2. Second, identify and describe what you consider to be the organization's external opportunities and threats. Opportunities and threats may include a variety of factors, such as economics, technology, demographics, environmental considerations, culture, competition, and political influences. Use the terms "Opportunities" and "Threats" as titles. Then, list three or more factors under each title and describe them.
Be sure to both identify and describe the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of your chosen organization.
