Swot-Singtel
To analyse the issues that are facing Singapore Telecom (SingTel), I’m using the Internal Analysis. Internal analysis is the systematic evaluation of the key internal features of an organization . This is the area where organization will find it difficult to do well in. It focuses on the strengths and weaknesses that give the organization certain advantages and disadvantages in providing the needs of its target markets.
Strengths is usually related to its competitors as the organization’s core competencies as it give the organization, in this case, Singapore Telecom an advantage over its competitors in offering a total service provider of the telecoms business .
Weaknesses on the other hand refer to the restrictions that SingTel faces when developing or implementing their strategy. This should be assessed from a customers viewpoint as customers often identifies frailty that SingTel cannot see.
These are the issues that are facing SingTel.
