Key point - what is SWOT? 🎯

  • SWOT = Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
  • A 1960s-era business tool to help companies craft objectives.

πŸ“Š Real-World Example: Imagine you're a superhero (Cool, right?). Your strengths might be super speed or intelligence. Your weaknesses might be that you can't fly or that chocolate is your kryptonite. Opportunities could be saving a city from villains. Threats? Maybe an arch-nemesis or a trap set by a villain.
 

πŸ” Deep Dive into SWOT

  • Based on perceptions: SWOT's effectiveness depends on the breadth of sources and reliability of data.

    E.g., Relying on only one newspaper for all your news might give you a skewed perception, but reading multiple sources can give a clearer picture.

  • Good SWOT vs. Bad SWOT: A well-researched SWOT can be gold. A poor SWOT can be a pitfall.

    E.g., Think of it like a map. A well-drawn map can lead to treasure, but a poorly drawn one? Maybe off a cliff.

  • Purpose: It’s not about analyzing the strategy but more about forming the foundation for a strategy by identifying strengths, weaknesses, etc.

Real-World SWOT Example: Apple Inc. (2021)

  • This part mentioned a table but didn't detail it. Always remember to cross-check with original data for specifics!

πŸ“Œ Strategy Formulation Post SWOT

  • Growth Strategies: Combine your strengths + market opportunities = Best short-term strategies!

    • E.g., You're great at baking (strength) and there's a local fair coming up (opportunity). You set up a stall and make a killing!
  • Defensive Strategies: Adopted when you’re cornered. If threats and weaknesses overlap, it’s time to defend!

    • E.g., Remember our superhero? If a villain discovers their chocolate weakness, it’s time to hide all the chocolates!
  • Re-orientation Strategies: Address weaknesses, then pivot towards market opportunities. It’s a long game.

    • E.g., A tennis player might be bad at serving (weakness). They train hard, master it, then dominate the grand slam (opportunity)!
  • Defusing Strategies: Neutralize threats using your strengths. It’s like a shield!

    • E.g., A popular restaurant (strength) might face negative rumors (threat). They host a transparent kitchen day, showcasing their cleanliness and win back trust!

πŸŽ“ Homework: Try to do a SWOT analysis of your favorite company or even yourself. It's fun and enlightening!

 

Remember: SWOT isn’t just about listing stuff down. It's about understanding and strategizing accordingly.
