Description

Strategy formulation requires an objective analysis of the factors that characterize the company's strategic situation. There are a number of techniques that can be used to create a quick strategic overview of the company. SWOT analysis is an example of such a technique. SWOT analysis is based on the assumption that an effective strategy derives from a sound ‘fit' between the company's internal resources (Strengths and Weaknesses) and its external situation (Opportunities and Threats). A good fit maximizes the company's strengths and opportunities and minimizes its weaknesses and threats.

With the information above and other research, conduct a SWOT analysis on the company you selected. Write a narrative describing the analysis you conducted.
