📖 What is SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis is a classic strategic planning tool developed by Albert Humphrey at Stanford Research Institute in the 1960s. It evaluates four dimensions — Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats — helping decision-makers understand internal and external factors for better strategy formulation.
SWOT Quadrants Explained
- Strengths (S): Internal positive factors such as core competencies, brand value, patents, talented teams
- Weaknesses (W): Internal negative factors such as resource gaps, technical shortcomings, management issues, high costs
- Opportunities (O): External favorable factors such as market growth, policy support, technology trends, competitive gaps
- Threats (T): External unfavorable factors such as increased competition, regulatory restrictions, technology disruption, economic downturn
Cross-Strategies
- SO Strategy (Strengths + Opportunities): Leverage strengths to seize opportunities — best growth strategy
- WO Strategy (Weaknesses + Opportunities): Overcome weaknesses to capture opportunities — improvement strategy
- ST Strategy (Strengths + Threats): Use strengths to defend against threats — defensive strategy
- WT Strategy (Weaknesses + Threats): Minimize weaknesses and avoid threats — avoidance strategy
