MKTG 6000: Marketing Strategy

A SWOT Analysis is a tool used in marketing that can be used to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats within an organization, market sector, or industry. These questions may manifest like:

• Strengths: what are the strengths of an industry or company?
• Weakness: what are the weakness of an industry or company?
• Opportunities: what are the areas for potential growth or expansion within a company or industry?
• Threats: what factors or risks could jeopardize the success within a company or industry?

These two resources are the easiest databases to use if you need to locate a company SWOT analysis.
