Developing Your Academic and Career Potential: Personal SWOT Analysis Background Information: A SWOT Analysis is an analysis of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. This is a strategic tool that many managers and businesses use. Strengths and Weaknesses are internal to the company, such as quality managers (strength), critical positions in the company be ] vacant (weakness), heavy debt (weakness).
