Purpose Individuals and organizations are alike in many ways. Each has competitors, and each should plan. Every individual and organization face some external opportunities and threats and has some internal strengths and weaknesses. Both individuals and organizations establish objectives and allocate resources. These and other similarities make it possible for individuals to use many strategic-management concepts and tools. This exercise is designed to demonstrate how the SWOT Matrix can be used by individuals to plan their futures. As one nears completion of a college degree and begins interviewing for jobs, planning can be particularly important. Instructions On a separate sheet of paper, construct a SWOT Matrix. Incluoe what you consider to be your major external opportunities (at least 5 describe each factor, total value 20pts), (your major external threats (at least 5 describe each factor, total value 20pts), your major strengths (at least 5 describe each factor, total value 20pts ), and your major weaknesses (at least 5 describe each factor, total value 20pts), An internal weakness may be a low-grade point average. An external opportunity may be that your university offers a graduate program that interests you. Match key external and internal factors by recording in the appropriate cell of the matrix alternative strategies or actions that would allow you to capitalize upon your strengths, overcome your weaknesses, take advantage of your external opportunities, and minimize the impact of external threats. Be sure to use the appropriate matching notation in the strategy cells of the matrix. Because every individual (and organization) is unique, there is no one right answer to this exercise. Must include a two-paragraph description of your individual SWOT Analysis. Please include an introduction, detailed description, and conclusion.
