Innoveren,
samenwerken met andere MKB bedrijven,

Organizational Strengths and Weaknesses

SWOT Analysis (taken from http://marketingteacher.com/Lessonstore.htm)

SWOT analysis is a marketing audit that considers an organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Our introductory lesson gives you the basics of how to complete your SWOT as you begin to learn about marketing tools. As you learn more about SWOT analysis, you will become aware of a number of potential limitations with this popular tool.

In SWOT, strengths and weaknesses are internal factors. For example:

A strength could be:

Your specialist marketing expertise.

A new, innovative product or service.

Location of your business.

Quality processes and procedures.

Any other aspect of your business that adds value to your product or service.

A weakness could be:

Lack of marketing expertise.

Undifferentiated products or services (i.e. in relation to your competitors).

Location of your business.

Poor quality goods or services.

Damaged reputation.

In SWOT, opportunities and threats are external factors. For example:

An opportunity could be:

A developing market such as the Internet.

Mergers, joint ventures or strategic alliances.

Moving into new market segments that offer improved profits.

A new international market.

A market vacated by an ineffective competitor.

A threat could be:

A new competitor in your home market.

Price wars with competitors.

A competitor has a new, innovative product or service.

Competitors have superior access to channels of distribution.

Taxation is introduced on your product or service.

A word of caution, SWOT analysis can be very subjective. Do not rely on SWOT too much. Two people rarely come-up with the same final version of SWOT. So use SWOT as guide and not a prescription.

Simple rules for successful SWOT analysis.

Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your organization when conducting SWOT analysis.

SWOT analysis should distinguish between where your organization is today, and where it could be in the future.

SWOT should always be specific. Avoid grey areas.

Always apply SWOT in relation to your competition i.e. better than or worse than a your competition.

Keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and over analysis

SWOT is subjective.

Please have a look at examples of SWOT analyses from the food industry:

Starbucks coffee shops

Provisional SWOT analysis of the milk industry

Seafood market SWOT analysis

Free planning tools for SWOT analyses

Forest-Based Sector (Web)

This platform is established in February 2005 and is a federation of the European Confederation of Woodworking Industries (CEI-Bois), the Confederation of European Forest Owners (CEPF) and the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI). The aim is at defining and implementing the sector’s R&D roadmap for the future and is supported by a wide range of stakeholders. The Forest-based sector technology platform is an industry-driven process, embedded in industry reality, and supporting the sector’s strategy. The platform covers the area of the forestry, wood and paper industry.

Thematic focuses are:
- Multifunctional forest cultivation
- Technological innovations for new and improved qualities of wood surfaces
- Timber joints and construction materials
- Development of production technology, which are more efficiently and alternative application areas of cellulose and paper

The Vision Document 2030 (LINK) was officially published in the launching event of the Forest-based sector Technology Platform on 15th February 2005 in Brussels in the context of the FBI Forum. To realise the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) (LINK) which exists since February 2006, an "Implementation Planning Task Force" is established.

The structure of this ETP is very different to many other ETPs, because it's built up on national TPs.

The national Platform for Austria is led by Austropapier.
