Background of the SWOT analysis tool
The strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis tool forms the
heart of identifying the right products to develop. Developed from the
marketing community the SWOT analysis tool can be applied to any goods,
services and processes that are under consideration. The SWOT analysis
tool has also been successfully deployed in other business situations
where several options or solutions are being considered.
The SWOT analysis tool
The SWOT
analysis tool (combined with brainstorming activities and other investigative
methods) essentially lists the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and threats relating to an area of interest. For example a potential
new product compared to that of a competitor. The main thrust of this
tool is to turn all the identified strengths, weaknesses and threats
into opportunities. These opportunities can then be exploited to give
a competitive business advantage.
