CONCEPT REVIEW The evaluation of a firm's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats is called a SWOT analysis. A SWOT analysis can be a valuable tool in the development of a marketing plan, but too often the SWOT analysis is not well thought out and proves to be an ineffective waste of time. Perhaps the most common mistake when conducting a SWOT analysis is the failure to separate internal issues from external issues. The strengths and the weaknesses aspects of the SWOT analysis focus on internal capabilities. The opportunities and threats aspects focus on the external environment.
