3. Assign a rating between 1and 4 to each key internal factor to indicate how effectively the firm’s current strategies respond to the factor, where 4= the response is superior and 1= the response is poor
4. Multiply each factor’s weight by its rating to determine the weighted score.
5. Sum the weighted scores for each variable to determine the total weighted score for the organization
