The very well structured planning method with help of which it is convenient to evaluate the four main elements of the way of running some organization (commercial or charitable), project or any other business structure or business venture is called a SWOT analysis. Such analysis can be carried out for a particular person (such as a potential supplier of goods, for example), your own or somebody else’s company, some definite product, place (for having office, for instance), or industry in general. Conducting SWOT analysis involves specifying the main objective of some particular business project as well as identifying both external and internal factors, which can help or stop from achieving that goal.

Mentioning the elements of SWOT analysis, which are Strengths (particular characteristics of some business project or business as a whole, which are beneficial), Weaknesses (particular characteristics of some definite business, which place it at a disadvantage relative to the other characteristics of this business), Opportunities (particular elements, which can be used in some business or project and which can help in terms of achieving some definite objective) and Threats (particular elements that can potentially cause troubles to some business project or business in general).

Identifying SWOT analysis is always a very important constituent of running your own business as all of its elements show which actions have to be carried out in order to achieve the very main objective. First of all, all of the decision-makers have to sit down, discuss and consider whether that main objective is potentially attainable at all. If the main objective cannot be attainable, then they must replace it with a different objective and after to repeat the process of analysing the situation, taking into consideration all of the elements mentioned above.

All of the users of SWOT analysis, mentioned in a way of matrix, have to ask themselves and so to answer the questions they are curious about. These questions are the main part of the analysis as they will help to generate the meaningful information for each of the categories, mentioned above (which are strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the business organization).

To make this analysis useful and to find the competitive advantages of a particular project, everyone, who is involved in making these big decisions of where the company personal should head to, considering the main objective which is planned to be achieved, should be asking these questions to themselves and to each other.

What are the strengths of this company? What are the weaknesses and what to do about them in order to win this race with the closest competitor? What are the opportunities and how and when to make a use of them? What are the threats which can lead to the organization and so its members’ failure? Knowing the answers to these questions will lead to the filling the gapes in the columns of the SWOT matrix and so they all can be analysed by the head of the company and so the decisions can be made.
