...SWOT ANALYSIS A SWOT analysis or SWOT matrix is a structured planning method used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats involved in a project or in a business venture. A SWOT analysis can be carried out for a product, place, industry or person. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective. Some authors credit SWOT to Albert Humphrey, who led a convention at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) in the 1960s and 1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies. However, Humphrey himself does not claim the creation of SWOT, so the origin remains obscure. SWOT Analysis includes:- * Strengths: Characteristics of the business or project that give it an advantage over others. * Weaknesses: Characteristics that place the business or project at a disadvantage relative to others * Opportunities: Elements that the project could exploit to its advantage * Threats: Elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the business or project Identification of SWOTs is important because they can inform later steps in planning to achieve the objective. We are doing SWOT analysis of brand ZARA. ZARA SWOT ANALYSIS | STRENGTHS | * Have about 2000+ stores located in leading cities across 88 countries * Part of one of the biggest Spanish retailers in the world * Needs just two weeks...

... Introduction: I have decided to write my dissertation on the Spanish car manufacturer, SEAT. I will examine how the company came into being in 1950 and how it got to where it is today i.e. a market leader in European and worldwide car sales. The reason I have chosen SEAT for the subject of my dissertation is that I have an interest in car companies and when researching potential topics SEAT interested me as it was the first real Spanish car company and the story of its rise to prominence was a very interesting one. In researching the topic I have found a number of valuable sources including books I located in the UCC library and a number of online sources such as journals and other websites. The opening chapter of my dissertation will be on the history of SEAT and its relationship with Fiat and later with Volkswagen. I will then examine SEAT as a modern day company, its recent performance and the direction in which it is headed. I will then look at the company’s advertising and marketing techniques, both historically and currently, as well as its role as a subsidiary of the Volkswagen group. Finally, I will draw a number of conclusions stating my findings, what I found most interesting and also any difficulties I have encountered while researching and writing my dissertation.
