2 STUDY OF LITERATURE
2.1 Definition of SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis is a comprehensive assessment of
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
of a company. This analysis is needed to determine
several strategies that exist in the company. One of
the things we discuss is the promotion strategy and
product placement (Kotler & Armstrong, 2008: 64).
SWOT is used to assess the strengths and
weaknesses of the company's resources and external
opportunities and challenges faced (Jogiyanto, 2005:
46)
Fred R. David, states that all organizations have
strengths and weaknesses in the functional area of
business. There aren’t company is as strong or weak
in all business areas. The following is an explanation
of SWOT, namely:
a. Strength
Strengths are resources, skills, or other advantages
that relate to the company's competitors and the
market needs that can be served by companies that
are expected to be served. Strength is a special
competition that provides a competitive advantage
for companies in the market (Lita Yulita, etc., 2018).
b. Weakness
Weaknesses are limitations or shortcomings in
resources, skills, and capabilities that effectively
hinder a company's performance. These limitations
are in the form of facilities, financial resources,
management capabilities, and marketing skills that
can be a source of weakness in the company.
c. Opportunities
Opportunities are critical situations that benefit in a
corporate environment. Trends - important trends are
one source of opportunities, such as changing
technology and increasing relationships between
companies and buyers or suppliers is a picture of
opportunities for companies.
d. Threat
Threats are critical situations that do not benefit in
the corporate environment. Threats are the main
intruder for the current position or desired by the
company. The existence of new or revised
government regulations can be a threat to the
company's success.
2.2 The Function of SWOT Analysis
According to Ferrel and Harline (2005), the function
of SWOT analysis is to get information from
situation analysis and separate it from internal issues
(strengths and weaknesses) and external issues
(opportunities and threats). The SWOT analysis will
explain whether the information indicates something
that will help the company achieve its objectives or
provide an indication that there are obstacles that
must be faced or minimized to meet the desired
income.
