SWOT Analysis Practice

SWOT analysis is a critical tool for structured decision-making and strategic thinking. It evaluates a situation, product, or decision by examining Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, helping individuals and organizations build informed strategies. For students, learning to conduct SWOT analyses enhances critical thinking, analytical skills, and problem-solving abilities—qualities essential for both academic and professional success.

Instructions for Creating and Explaining SWOT Analysis

When the assigned topics involve comparisons between two options, creating two separate SWOT analyses—one for each option—ensures a comprehensive evaluation. For instance, if the topic is “Choosing Between iPhone and Android Phones,” students would create:

1. A SWOT for iPhones, highlighting unique traits like brand loyalty and premium design.
2. A SWOT for Android phones, focusing on factors like variety and affordability.

Follow These Steps:

1. First, create two SWOT charts: One for each option.
2. Analyze the factors for each quadrant:
   • List key Strengths of each option.
   • Identify major Weaknesses or limitations.
   • Explore external Opportunities for growth.
   • Pinpoint possible Threats that might impact success.
3. Write explanations under each heading, based on the analysis.
   • Important: After posting both SWOT charts as images or infographics, students should explain their findings.
   • Each chart should have its own clearly labeled SWOT heading such as “SWOT Analysis of iPhone” and “SWOT Analysis of Android Phones.”
   • Write insights under the headings Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats for each option.
   • The purpose of writing these insights is to explain your analysis, as too many details cannot be added to a chart.

For example, in the case of iPhone vs. Android Phones, students would:

• Clearly outline their findings from the SWOT analysis for both devices.
• Use points like design, affordability, market reach, or competition as the basis of their explanations.
