In order to gain value from the SWOT analysis, it is important that the company address the two most important parts of a SWOT analysis, which are: a. establishing a game plan to capitalize on the company's strengths and leverage the weaknesses in light of the available opportunities b. clarifying the firm's current position and ensuring the SWOT listings are complete c. understanding the relationship between the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and establishing criteria for remedying the company's shortfalls. d. identifying the resource strengths and resource weaknesses. e. drawing conclusions from the SWOT listings about the company's overall situation and translating these conclusions into strategic actions
