Examples of Swot Cases
Examples
A SWOT analysis can be used in many ways. Two case studies are offered below to illustrate what a SWOT analysis might look like in different situations: a more detailed level, using a soft drinks manufacturer as an example, and a simpler level, using a children’s charity by way of example.

Strengths
Our competitor has been a complex part of American culture for over a century. The product's image is loaded with over-romanticizing, and this is an image many people have taken deeply to heart.

According to an article in Business magazine, in India, unit case sales fell 4% in the second quarter...scary because while India generates around 5% of worldwide volume, it contributes three times as much to
