SWOT Analysis
- SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis) is a framework for identifying and analyzing the internal and external factors that can have an impact on the viability of a project, product, place, or person.
- A SWOT analysis is often used at the start of or as part of a strategic planning exercise. The framework is considered powerful support for decision-making because it enables an entity to uncover opportunities for success that were previously unarticulated or to highlight threats before they become overly burdensome. For example, this exercise can identify a market niche in which a business has a competitive advantage or help individuals plot career success by pinpointing a path that maximizes their strengths while alerting them to threats that can thwart achievement
