When an organization is faced with a challenge, or perhaps a new opportunity, care must be taken to properly diagnose the issues at hand so that proper actions are developed to accomplish the task in the most effective manner possible. During Week 2, you clearly defined a challenge for your chosen organization. During Week 3, you will develop a SWOT analysis targeting specifics of the organization that will impact the potential outcomes of the challenge.
Prior to building the SWOT analysis, review the following web pages for ideas and guidance on developing proper questioning for the analysis:
SWOT Analysis
SWOT Analysis: How to Develop a Strategy for Success
What is a SWOT Analysis, and How to Do It Right (With Examples)
SWOT Analysis: What Is It and When To Use It
Develop a SWOT analysis for the organization you are researching for your Final Paper. Define one or two findings for each section of the SWOT analysis that would be pertinent and specific to the outcome of the challenge identified during Week 2. For each section of the SWOT:
provide a definition for the section,
define a characteristic of the organization for the section, and use the defined questioning as the catalyst for the characteristic
and then, tell why that finding is important to resolving the challenge.
Conclude this section of the paper with a paragraph briefly discussing the importance of the findings and how they will help reach a logical solution to the challenge and the possible type of strategy that best fits the process.
Section 3 of the paper must have at a minimum two full pages of content (excluding the cover and reference pages). You must include at a minimum two scholarly resources (in addition to the text) that support specific strategies used to prepare the paper. Wikipedia is not a qualified resource. Use the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources document for additional guidance. Include the text as a scholarly resource to support theory and concepts related to strategy. During the construction of Section 3, be specific and refrain from assumption.
The Section 3 of the Final paper
Must be at least two double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA Style
