SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats)

SWOT AnalysisThe SWOT Analysis framework is a very important and useful tool to use in marketing Management and other business applications.

As a basic tool its mastery is a fundamental requirement for the marketer, entrepreneur or business person.

A clear understanding of SWOT is required for business majors.

What is SWOT Analysis?A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the strategic planning process. Environmental factors internal to the firm usually can be classified as strengths (S) or weaknesses (W), and those external to the firm can be classified as opportunities (O) or threats (T). Such an analysis of the strategic environment is referred to as a SWOT analysis.

SWOT Matrix

The SWOT Matrix

SWOT AnalysisThe SWOT analysis provides information that is helpful in matching the firm's resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates.

As such, it is instrumental in strategy formulation and selection.

The following diagram shows how a SWOT analysis fits into an environmental scan

A firm's strengths are its resources and capabilities that can be used for developing a competitive advantage.

Examples of such strengths include:Patents Strong brand names Good reputation among customers Exclusive access to natural resources Good access to distribution networks

Specific Skills you have Resources you possess (Knowledge and expertise)

Deficiency you faceSpecific skills you lackParticular resources you lack knowledgeConstraints you face rules, procedures, timing, conflict

Examples :Lack of patent protection A weak brand name Poor reputation among customers High cost structure Lack of access to best natural resources Lack of access to key distribution channels

The external environmental analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for profit and growth. Some examples of such opportunities include:

An unfulfilled customer need Arrival of new technologies Loosening of regulations Resources to support in your roleNew openings in development opportunitiesRemoval of international trade barriersNew Openings in development opportunitiesNew Staff and Staff motivationNew ways to improve

Changes in the external environmental also may present threats to the firm. Some examples of such threats include:shifts in consumer tastes away from the firm's products emergence of substitute products New competitorsNegative attitudes new regulations increased trade barriers

Benefits of SWOT Analysis

Dos Be analytical and specific. Record all thoughts and ideas. Be selective in the final evaluation. Choose the right people for the exercise. Choose a suitable SWOT leader or facilitator. Think out of the box Be open to changeDonts Try to disguise weaknesses. Merely list errors and mistakes. Lose sight of external influences and trends. Allow the SWOT to become a blame-laying exercise. Ignore the outcomes at later stages of the planning process.

TIPS

Points to Ponder Keep your SWOT short and simple, but remember to include important details. For example, if you think your communication skills is your strength, include specific details, such as verbal / written communication.

When you finish your SWOT analysis, prioritize the results by listing them in order of the most significant factors that affect you / your business to the least.

Get multiple perspectives on you / your business for your SWOT analysis. Ask for input from your employees, colleagues, friends, suppliers, customers and partners.

Apply your SWOT analysis to a specific issue, such as a goal you would like to achieve or a problem you need to solve. You can then conduct separate SWOT analyses on individual issues and combine them.

What is Johari window?The Johari Window is a communication model that can be used to improve understanding between individuals.

It involves information feelings, experience, views, attitudes, skills, intentions, motivation, etc

72

FounderAMERICAN PSYCHOLOGISTS, Developed by JOSEPH LUFT and HARRY INGRAM in the mid 1950s.Hence the name JO HAR I It is a useful tool for self understanding, awareness and personal growthIt also can used to discover your strengths blind spots and areas to explore Works best in a high trust environment

Two key ideas behind the tool: Individuals can build trust between themselves by disclosing information about themselves.

They can learn about themselves and come to terms with personal issues with the help of feedback from others.

How does it work?Using the Johari model, each person is represented by their own four-quadrant, or four-pane, window.

Each of these contains and represents personal information - feelings, motivation - about the person, and shows whether the information is known or not known by themselves or other people.

The four quadrants are:Quadrant 1: Open Area / Arena

What is known by the person about him/herself and is also known by others.

Open AreaRepresents the public or awareness area and contains information that both you and others knowInformation that you dont mind admittingGets bigger over time as relationships matureA productive relationship is related to the amount of mutually held informationBuilding a relationship involved expanding this area

Quadrant 2: Blind Area, or "Blind Spot

What is unknown by the person about him/herself but which others know. This can be simple information, or can involve deep issues (for example, feelings of inadequacy, incompetence, unworthiness, rejection) which are difficult for individuals to face directly, and yet can be seen by others.

Blind AreaInformation about yourself that others know but you are not yet awareOthers may see you differently than you see yourselfEffective relations strive to reduce this areaOpen communication encourages people to give you feedback

Quadrant 3: Hidden or Avoided AreaWhat the person knows about him/herself that others do not.

Hidden AreaInformation that you know that others do notPrivate feelings, needs, and past experiences that you prefer to keep to yourselfIf this area is too large, you can be perceived as lacking authenticity

Quadrant 4: Unknown AreaWhat is unknown by the person about him/herself and is also unknown by others.

Unknown AreaInformation that is unknown to you and to othersAreas of unrecognized talent, motives, or early childhood memories that influence your behaviorAlways present, never disappearsOpen communication can expose some of this area

Key Points:In most cases, the aim in groups should be to develop the Open Area for every person. Working in this area with others usually allows for enhanced individual and team effectiveness and productivity. The Open Area is the space where good communications and cooperation occur, free from confusion, conflict and misunderstanding.

Self-disclosure is the process by which people expand the Open Area vertically. Feedback is the process by which people expand this area horizontally.By encouraging healthy self-disclosure and sensitive feedback, you can build a stronger and more effective team in personal, professional and family life.

Four Benefits of Self-DisclosureIncreased accuracy in communicationReduction of stressIncreased self-awarenessStronger relationships

Increased Self-awarenessSelf-awarenessThe ability to recognize and understand your moods, emotions, drives and their effect on othersThe foundation on which self-development is builtIncreases as you receive feedback from others
