SWOT Analysis - Home Depot

Step #1

Step #1:  Identify Strengths and Weaknesses Within the Company. Using the information you gathered in step one, continue your case study analysis by examining and making a list of the value creation functions of the company. For example, the company may be weak in product development, but strong in marketing.

Step#2

Step #2:  Gather Information on the External Environment. The third step in a case study analysis involves identifying opportunities and threats within the company's external environment. Special items to note include competition within the industry, bargaining powers, and the threat of substitute products.
