Personal SWOT Analysis
Research Paper: Personal SWOT Analysis Assignment
Assignment Instructions: Conduct a management SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis on your
personal effectiveness on the managerial level of an organization. Do this by identifying your
strengths and weaknesses as a manager, as well as the opportunities that you can take advantage
of to make you a stronger manager, and threats that are currently impeding your growth as a
manager, or prior threats that plagued your management progress. This is your personal SWOT.
Do not conduct a SWOT analysis on an organization. Research “SWOT Analysis” to get a full
understanding, which is not available from the management text. Strengths and Opportunities are
not the same, and do not have the same origin. Weaknesses and threats are not the same and are
not similar.
Apply biblical integration by documenting what the Bible says about each personal SWOT factor
which are strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Present your SWOT analysis in essay
format, not in a graph, diagram or chart. (At least 400 words in this SWOT section).
TOWS Matrix:
Develop strategies to improve your managerial effectiveness by creating a TOWS Matrix from
the results of your SWOT Analysis. This should be your personal TOWS matrix, not a TOWS
matrix for an organization. You must present at least 1 real-life personal strategy for
implementation in each of these 4 types of strategies: SO strategy/ WO strategy / ST strategy /
WT strategy. Be sure to state what factors (S/W/O/T) you are matching and the resulting
strategy that you propose from that matching. As an example, state that you are matching your
planning strength with a specific threat (ST), then state a strategy that would result from this
combination. Research “TOWS Matrix” to get a full understanding, which is not available from
the management text. Apply biblical integration by documenting what the Bible says about
personal strategies. Present your TOWS matrix strategies in essay format, not in a graph,
diagram or chart. (At least 400 words in this TOWS section)
