Purpose of a SWOT Analysis
The SWOT analysis is part
of a company's strategic planning process where it connects its
objectives and strategies to actionable tactics carried out by
employees. Specifically, SWOT is part often of the situation analysis,
where the company determines where it stands on four key strategic areas
to better determine what changes to make.
Opportunities
Exploring untapped opportunities helps company leaders consider ways to grow. Generally, strong companies are always looking for ways to grow because if they do not grow, they typically fall behind and give up opportunities to competitors. Opportunities can include new and emerging markets, new business and product developments and strategic business partnerships that may create more sales and profits.
Threats
Strengths and Weaknesses
The purpose in using SWOT to assess strengths and weaknesses is it helps the company firmly understand its core market advantages and areas that competitors may criticize the company for. Companies typically make core strengths the focal point of marketing messages in trying to create differentiation from competitors. Companies need to understand their weaknesses to decide what areas they should improve on and what areas are inherent to the nature of their business.Opportunities
