History of SWOT Analysis
• SWOT analysis technique was found by Albert Humphrey who led a research project at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s.
• He used the data from Fortune 500 companies to identify why corporate planning failed.
• His research identified a number of key areas that were critical to corporate planning and the tool used to explore each of the critical areas was called SOFT analysis.
• Albert Humphrey and the original research team used the following categories:“What is good in the present is Satisfactory, good in the future is an Opportunity; bad in the present is a Fault and bad in the future is a Threat.”
• In 1964, at a conference the F in ‘SOFT’ was changed to a W, and thus, the emergence of ‘SWOT’ Analysis as we know it today came into existence.
What is SWOT Analysis?
SWOT Analysis enables a group/individual to handle everyday problems and look at traditional strategies from a new perspective.
It is used as framework for organizing and using data and information gained from situation analysis of internal and external environment.
SWOT Analysis is a planning tool used to understand Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats involved in a project/business.

Did You Know?
SWOT analysis is useful and is not limited to only profit‐seeking organizations. SWOT analysis may be used in any decision‐making situation when a desired end‐state (objective) has been defined. Hence, it can also be used for decision‐making in non‐profit organizations, governmental units and for individuals. SWOT analysis may also be used in pre‐crisis planning and preventive crisis management. SWOT analysis may also be used in creating a recommendation during a viability study/survey.
Internal and External FactorsThe aim of any SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors that are important to achieving the objective. These come from within the company's unique value chain. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information into two main categories:
• The strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization.
• The opportunities and threats presented by the external environment to the organization.Let us look at each in detail.
Internal Factors
•
The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending upon their impact on the
organization's objectives.
What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may be weaknesses for another objective.
It is essential to note that the internal factors are within the control of organization, such as operations, finance,
marketing, and other areas.
These factors may include all of the 4P's; as well as personnel, finance, manufacturing capabilities, and so on.
External Factors
The external factors are out of the organization’s control, such as political and economic factors, technology,
competition, and other areas.
The external factors may also include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and socio‐
cultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or competitive position.
