Abstract

When decisions have to be made - be it within project, program or portfolio management - the SWOT analysis can provide managers with great support by allowing them to analyse internal and external environments with a systematic approach. [1] This article will discuss different approaches when making a SWOT analysis.

What is SWOT?

The history of SWOT

Although there is no single inventor/author of the SWOT analysis, early versions are developed in Harvard Business School by George Albert Smith Jr. and C Roland Christiensen in the 1950s and 1960s [2]. The The four factors that later became the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOTs) were then called "opportunities" "risks" "environment" "problems of other industries". Another version was developed at Stanford University by Albert Humphrey that later became the SWOT analysis as we know it today. The factors, represented by the acronym SOFT, were here: “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.” [3]

Different approaches to SWOT analysis

Præssenter the swot matrix.

  -Den simpleste hvor der kun er 4 kasser (SWOT). Skriv her om hvad der er galt med den. "Brainstorming" og "opvarmning til strategiplanlægning"
  -Den hvor indre og ydre faktorer er taget med og forklar at pointen er at indre faktorer har man kontrol over og ydre har man ikke.
  -Den med "beneficial" og "inbeneficial". Den ved jeg ikke helt hvad jeg skal med men det kommer jeg til.

There will be an introduction to the different templates you can use when doing a SWOT analysis.


Application example

Two examples of application to illustrate how the SWOT analysis can be highly beneficial but also can be handled in a way that is not beneficial.
