SWOT Analysis: What I Learned from My Project and How It Can Help You Too

Hi there, this is Shimit here. I'm posting a lesson on SWOT analysis which I prepared in my project. Go through that, I hope you all will like it!

Dear Shimit,

Could you please tell me in detail about SWOT analysis? Why is it being used in organizations?

Thanks,
P.C. Gupta

Hi, Mr. P.C. Gupta,

SWOT analysis helps a company to discover its strengths and weaknesses so that they can manage all of them and then can come to know their opportunities. It helps them to prepare better plans to get success in their field. This is why SWOT analysis is done!

Hi Shimit,

It's a good analysis on Amazon & Yahoo. However, I think you should come up with some conclusion as well. I mean, how should the company develop its strategy based on this SWOT analysis.

Thanks,
Kishor Patra

Too amateurish. I think even a tenth-grader preparing for competitive exams can do a better SWOT analysis on a complex case. I am worried about the OVERALL RANKING of your B-school. KINDLY KEEP THIS SITE CLUTTER-FREE. (We visit this site to learn/discuss serious matters about HR.)

"SWOT Analysis"

The article on SWOT would have become more attractive if you had extended it by adding recommendations for strategic decisions. For example, the best course of action to overcome weaknesses by capitalizing on strengths to take advantage of opportunities available in the present market situation and hedging against threats.

Keep it up, best wishes.

Please, no more such uncalled-for SWOT analysis.

My dear hyper-enthusiastic friend;

Kindly spare the members any more of such strictly academic-assignment-oriented SWOT analyses. The professional members of this forum, who passed B-School when the current batch of B-School students were on their mothers' knees (a favorite phrase of one of the IIM-C professors; sorry for becoming nostalgic), have no use whatsoever for such SWOT analysis - they do their own whenever required.

Alternatively (which is a more useful suggestion), why don't you start your own blog of SWOT analysis and send a link here so all those interested can follow your blog happily ever after.

Regards.
