Guidelines:
Before carrying out a SWOT analysis, consider the following guidelines:
? Be realistic about strengths and weaknesses. When performing a SWOT analysis on your business, be neither modest nor overly optimistic.
? Consider answers from the company’s point of view and from the point of view of customers, vendors, distributors, and others who do business with them.
? Distinguish between where the organization is today and where it could be in the future.
? Note that the SWOT is subjective. No two persons will come up with the same SWOT.
