ABSTRACT

Strategic management is concerned with managerial decisions and actions to

determine long-term prosperity of the organization. Each institution put lot of effort to

define a strategy and implement it to reach its goals with regards to its resources and

environment. Strategic planning focuses on identifying the direction for the organization to

follow, hence it is necessary for mangers and business directors to identify the strong

potential and weak elements of their companies in order to make use of their strength and

improve their weakness. Consequently it is essential for mangers and business

development directors to move on toward SWOT analysis which is the simplest

recognized tool that serves as a basis for strategic planning.

information about the firm and the environment in which it works. This is the first step in

strategic planning for a company to make use of its strengths, enhance its weaknesses,

avoid the threats and make use of the available opportunities. In the framework of this

study, the research highlighted on SWOT analysis, its origin and its applications and how

to conduct it in quantitative.

search went on to discuss strategic planning and the schools that have adopted this

management culture. A survey covering seventy five firms working in the field of real
