What are the pitfall behind swot analysis?
Pitfalls of SWOT analysis
Many organizations ask me if I usually conduct SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) analysis during my firm's brainstorming facilitation or management consultation activities such as strategic planning. My answer is always the definitive "NO!"
Not that I haven't done it at all. When I started in 2003, admittedly I almost always scheduled SWOT exercise in my training or workshop retreat agenda, normally during the start of the first day session after ice-breaking. However, I began to realize that the session created negative energies amongst the participants - every time! I then decided to discard the exercise.
Heinz Weihrich (1982) may have strong motives for introducing TOWS analysis which later morphosized into SWOT, yet with all due respect to him, none of the two work anymore in this era of strategy canvas.
When participants who come as representatives from various departments begin brainstorming strengths and weaknesses of their organization, what started as a platform to open up and reflect became a vicious finger-pointing exercise.
When listing strengths (S), participants tend to hype up the achievements and capabilities of their own departments, to the dismay of participants who sense the braggings.
Worse, when discussing weakness (W) factors, many tend to go at great nuance to blame others. The worst scenario is when department heads start to play jury.
The subtle yet negatice aura brought about by this exercise prove too longlasting so much so the whole retreat program which probably lasts a few days becomes clouded with distrust and suppressed discontentment.
Subsequent retreat sessions become a near-futile effort to generate innovative planning ideas. People especially those most slighted by the weakness analysis normally tend to "retreat" after such wrecking exercise.
A more preferred and less-damaging method of analysing would be to study the set of organizational challenges expected to be encountered in the future. If you must go through it, then make sure strengths and weaknesses are clearly seen as a collective issue discussion rather than a finger-pointing discussion.

The number 111 is sometimes called "a Nelson" or "Nelson's" (particularly as a score in cricket or darts) after Admiral Nelson, who allegedly only had "One Eye, One Arm, One Leg" near the end of his life. (This is sometimes bowdlerised to say that he lost "One Eye, One Arm, One Life" during his naval career.) Another suggestion is that the number is derived from his three great victories, thus Copenhagen, Nile and Trafalgar which gives the sequence "Won - Won - Won".
Ikea is a company based in Sweden that makes affordable furniture and home decor items. They are mostly known for their modern and contemporary designs, but they sell traditional styles of furniture as well. Ikea aims to cut back on costs through innovation rather than by cutting quality. For example most of their furniture comes "flat-packed," meaning it comes in pieces in flat boxes and is assembled by the buyer, which cuts back on shipping costs and assembly costs.
Historical background of globalization in the Philippines?
Economic Globalization is something that has been with the human race ever since the world has begun. From local to global, we could attribute this to the result of human innovation and technological progress. Globalization from the word global means spreading throughout the world, in other words spreading world-wide. The aims of having a 'globalized community' is to have interdependence of the entire world and its people from each other with concern for the rest of the world at the expense of national self-development and self-interests.
Globalization creates both winners and losers. This is a view shared by many, but not all, theorists and commentators. There are many trends of thought regarding exactly who the winners and losers may be as well as what may be considered a prize or a punishment. An example is that some may sight the availability if McDonalds fast food throughout the Philippines an enrichment and some may see it as an unwelcome and unsavory invasion of what we have as our own, Jollibee. Comparison between these opinions paints an interesting picture of what Globalization is, what certain parties want it to be seen as and what kind of world it could create. Anthony Giddens says "Globalization, some argue, creates a world of winners and losers, a few on the fast track to prosperity, the majority condemned to a life of misery and despair." This is a view shared by many theorists, however positive Globalists, perhaps naively, claim Globalization will lead to winnings for all and extreme pessimists exist who see 'Globalization' as the path to mass ruin and exploitation and as a vague buzzword umbrella from under which Governments may defend unjust or unpopular policies.
