To see a problem as an opportunity
SWOT Analysis Report of Akdemistanbul™
1. IntroEveryone wants to succeed but not everyone wants to tidy things up on how to succeed. Some sleep on what they should do till it piles up above them and they find themselves in a chaotic mess not knowing what to do and where to go. Akdemistanbul may fall in this trap if it doesn’t take decisive measures to face this problem. It’s not easy but the good news is that it’s possible when we really want to and we plan accordingly.
