SWOT analysis is a tool used to audit an organization and its environment, and is an acronym that stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. SWOT analysis is made up of several characteristics:
- SWOT analysis is a valuable tool for auditing an organization, and it's often the first stage of planning that helps you focus on the company's key issues.
- Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, which means they're more easily controlled and changed. For instance, strengths could include the quality of your products, a great location, or specialist expertise. Examples of weaknesses might be poor-quality goods, an inconvenient location, or a lack of expertise.
- Opportunities and threats are considered to be external factors over which you have little control. Opportunities could include a developing market or a key competitor going out of business. Threats, on the other hand, might include a new competitor in your market or an increased tax on your service.
