Any topic (writer’s choice)

Part 1: Based on your reading this week, perform a SWOT analysis of the company you work for, or pick any company you wish.

Be certain to properly separate S & W as internal factors (factors directly reflective of the company and which the company has direct control over) and O & T as external factors (factors reflective of our environment which we may not have direct control over but none the less need to recognize and plan for).

Part 2: In an essay of at least 2 pages (double spaced, size 11 or 12 font, with your name and title of essay in the header of the document), discuss how the findings influence the company you’ve chosen. Include your recommendations for how the company should use its strengths and opportunities to offset its weaknesses and threats. 

Be sure to use MLA format.  An essay template is attached for your reference.
