MEANING OF SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis) is a framework for
identifying and analyzing the internal and external factors that can have an impact on the
viability of a project, product, place or person.
SWOT analysis is most commonly used by business entities, but it is also used by nonprofit
organizations and, to a lesser degree, individuals for personal assessment. Additionally, it can be
used to assess initiatives, products or projects.
The framework is credited to Albert Humphrey, who tested the approach in the 1960s and 1970s
at the Stanford Research Institute. Developed for business and based on data from Fortune 500
companies, the SWOT analysis has been adopted by organizations of all types as an aid to
making decisions.
A SWOT matrix is often used to organize items identified under each of these four elements. A
SWOT matrix is usually a square divided into four quadrants, with each quadrant representing
one of the specific elements. Decision-makers identify and list specific strengths in the first
quadrant, weaknesses in the next, then opportunities and, lastly, threats.
Entities undertaking a SWOT analysis can opt to use any one of the various SWOT analysis
templates in existence; these templates are generally variations of the standard four-quadrant
SWOT matrix.

ELEMENTS OF SWOT ANALYSIS
KEY POINT
SWOT Analysis is a simple but useful framework for analyzing your organization's strengths and
weaknesses, and the opportunities and threats that you face. It helps you focus on your strengths,
minimize threats, and take the greatest possible advantage of opportunities available to you.
It can be used to "kick off" strategy formulation, or in a more sophisticated way as a serious
strategy tool. You can also use it to get an understanding of your competitors, which can give
you the insights you need to craft a coherent and successful competitive position.When carrying
out your analysis, be realistic and rigorous. Apply it at the right level, and supplement it with
other option-generation tools where appropriate.
