What Is SWOT Analysis?
SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis is a framework used to evaluate a company's competitive position and to develop strategic planning. SWOT analysis assesses internal and external factors, as well as current and future potential.
A SWOT analysis is designed to facilitate a realistic, fact-based, data-driven look at the strengths and weaknesses of an organization, initiatives, or within its industry. The organization needs to keep the analysis accurate by avoiding pre-conceived beliefs or gray areas and instead focusing on real-life contexts. Companies should use it as a guide and not necessarily as a prescription.
Understanding SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis is a technique for assessing the performance, competition, risk, and potential of a business, as well as part of a business such as a product line or division, an industry, or other entity.
Using internal and external data, the technique can guide businesses toward strategies more likely to be successful, and away from those in which they have been, or are likely to be, less successful. Independent SWOT analysts, investors, or competitors can also guide them on whether a company, product line or industry might be strong or weak and why.
SWOT analysis was first used to analyze businesses. Now, it's often used by governments, nonprofits, and individuals, including investors and entrepreneurs. There is seemingly limitless applications to the SWOT analysis.
Components of SWOT Analysis
Every SWOT analysis will include the following four categories. Though the elements and discoveries within these categories will vary from company to company, a SWOT analysis is not complete without each of these elements:
Strengths
Strengths describe what an organization excels at and what separates it from the competition: a strong brand, loyal customer base, a strong balance sheet, unique technology, and so on. For example, a hedge fund may have developed a proprietary trading strategy that returns market-beating results. It must then decide how to use those results to attract new investors.
Weaknesses
Weaknesses stop an organization from performing at its optimum level. They are areas where the business needs to improve to remain competitive: a weak brand, higher-than-average turnover, high levels of debt, an inadequate supply chain, or lack of capital.
Opportunities
Opportunities refer to favorable external factors that could give an organization a competitive advantage. For example, if a country cuts tariffs, a car manufacturer can export its cars into a new market, increasing sales and market share.
Threats
Threats refer to factors that have the potential to harm an organization. For example, a drought is a threat to a wheat-producing company, as it may destroy or reduce the crop yield. Other common threats include things like rising costs for materials, increasing competition, and tight labor supply. and so on.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

atmosphere conducive to the free flow of information. 22

25. Advantages of SWOT (1)
• In social work practice framework is beneficial because it
helps organizations decide whether or not an objective is
obtainable and therefore enables organizations to set
achievable goals, objectives, and steps to further the social
change or community development effort.

produce practical and efficient outcomes in order to effect
long-lasting change, and it helps organizations gather
meaningful information in order to maximize their potential.

answer objectively on each of the four questions, you will
be able to get a less emotional and more realistic

see what you can change it to get the desired results.
And also it allows you to take some action toward
opportunities, and reduce your weaknesses.
26
27. Limitations of SWOT
• SWOT can be misused as a technique, as it can be quickly
designed without critical thought leading to a misrepresentation
of SWOT, within an organization's internal and external
surroundings.
• Development of a swot analysis simply to defend previously
decided goals and objectives. Leads to:-
Limitations on brainstorming possibilities and "real" identification
of barriers.
Also places the organization’s interest above the well being of
the community.
• The design of a swot analysis by one or two community workers
is limiting to the realities of the forces specifically external
factors, and devalues the possible contributions of community
members.
27
28. Tips of conducting SWOT analysis
DO’S
Be analytical and specific.
Record all thoughts and ideas.
Be selective in the final evaluation.
Choose the right people for the
exercise.
Choose a suitable SWOT leader or
facilitator.
Think out of the box
Be open to change
DON’T S
х Try to disguise weaknesses.
х Merely list errors and
mistakes.
х Lose sight of external
influences and trends.
х Allow the SWOT to become
a blame-laying exercise.
