2 What is SWOT? It is a planning tool used to identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats involved in a business. It is used as part of Strategic Planning Process

3 Strategic Planning Strategic Planning helps an organisation to answer some basic and critical questions like: a)Where we stand? b)What is our goal? c)How to reach the desired goal? d)How to evaluate performance?

4 The Environment The actions of an organisation /institution are influenced simultaneously by two factors: a)Internal Environment: People, systems, infrastructure, capabilities, culture etc. b)External Environment: Political, legal, social, economical, technological etc.

5 Internal Environment Analysis of Internal Environment leads to identification of: a) Strengths: Positive aspects which are within the control of the institution. b) Weaknesses: Constraining factors that hinder the institution’s ability to achieve its desired goals.

6 Strengths & Weaknesses Contributing Factors: People (Teachers/Staff/Students) Programmes (UG/PG/Doctoral) Properties (Assets/Infrastructure/Lab) Processes (Teaching/Research)

7 Strengths Highly competent faculty with Ph.D. Modern laboratories & equipments Unique programmes offered Value adding additional programmes Reputation & brand image Examination & Evaluation Process Research projects/Consultancy Industry interactions

8 Weaknesses Lack of competent/qualified staff Inadequate facilities/labs Outdated syllabus/courses Lack of industry orientation Weak employability of students Lack of research activities Internal Funding difficulties for projects

9 External Environment Analysis of External Environment leads to identification of: a) Opportunities: Attractive factors that help an institution to develop & improve b) Threats: Factors beyond the control of an institution that potentially damage the present existence and future development

10 Opportunities & Threats Contributing Factors: Technological Economic Legal/Regulatory Social Demographic Political
