Internal Analysis The Internal Analysis of strengths and weaknesses focuses on internal factors that give an organization certain advantages and disadvantages in meeting the needs of its target market. Strengths refer to core competencies that give the firm an advantage in meeting the needs of its target markets. Weaknesses refer to any limitations a company faces in developing or implementing a strategy. Being market focused when analyzing strengths and weaknesses does not mean that non-market oriented strengths and weaknesses should be forgotten.

Internal core competencies Resources: Profitability, sales, product quality brand associations, existing overall brand, relative cost of this new product, employee capability, product portfolio analysis. Capabilities: Goal: To identify internal strategic strengths, weaknesses, problems, constraints and uncertainties.

External analysis The External Analysis examines opportunities and threats that exist in the environment. The way to differentiate between a strength or weakness from an opportunity or threat is to ask: Would this issue exist if the company did not exist? If the answer is yes, it should be considered external to the firm. Opportunities refer to favorable conditions in the environment that could produce rewards for the organization if acted upon properly. Threats refer to conditions or barriers that may prevent the firms from reaching its objectives.

External core competencies Customer analysis: Segments, motivations, unmet needs. Competitive analysis: Identify completely, put in strategic groups, evaluate performance, image, their objectives, strategies, culture, cost structure, strengths, weakness. Market analysis: Overall size, projected growth, profitability, entry barriers, cost structure, distribution system, trends, key success factors. Environmental analysis: Technological, governmental, economic, cultural, demographic, scenarios, information-need areas Goal: To identify external opportunities, threats, trends, and strategic uncertainties.
