D) Wonderful tool for assessment Regards S Shenbagaraman sshenn@gmail.com This might be more relevant explanation: It is not simply enough to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a company. In applying the SWOT analysis it is necessary to minimize or avoid both weaknesses and threats. Weaknesses should be looked at in order to convert them into strengths. Likewise, threats should be converted into opportunities. Lastly, strengths and opportunities should be matched to optimize the potential of a firm. SWOT analysis can be extremely beneficial to those who objectively analyze their company. The importance of individual SWOTs will be exposed by the value of the strategies it creates. A SWOT point that generates valuable strategies is central. A SWOT item that leads to no strategy is not relevant. SWOT analysis can be particularly useful in mid-term evaluations as it can provide useful clues about the intermediate objectives of the programmed (mainly as far as the ability to exploit the opportunities and to avoid the threats is concerned).

SWOT analysis can be a useful way of summarizing the relationship between environmental influences and core competencies and hence framing the agenda for developing new strategies.

It is a tool which provides the instant reviews for the organization and from that we can assess the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats.

It can also be used during a communications audit to determine the effectiveness and efficacy of the organizations efforts to influence its stakeholders. Regards
