About SWOT

A SWOT analysis is an assessment of internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats. A SWOT analysis can provide some essential information about a company and aid in the development of future plans.

A few library databases provide access to some of the SWOT analyses that are available on select companies. However, please note that not all companies have a SWOT analysis.

For more information about SWOT you may consult resources available from one of the Library's reference resources databases listed on the Getting Started page of this guide.
