  Components of a SWOT Analysis [WLOs: 1] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]    
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, complete the Week 1  Pre-Test, watch the Simulation Overview Video Part 1, and the video from  your Chairman Stan Sloan after you have logged into the simulation. In  150 words or more, what information or detail is important to add to a  SWOT analysis in general? How can a complete SWOT help a company  succeed? These thoughts should be qualitative and generic – not  discussing/providing specific applications of how you may have gleaned  competitive advantage (e.g., listing the SWOT components applicable to  Hisco).
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your  fellow students’ posts in a substantive manner and provide information  or concepts that they may not have considered. Support your position by  using information from the week’s readings. You are encouraged to post  your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and  interactive discourse in this discussion forum. Continue to monitor the  discussion forum until 11:59 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7, and respond  with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.
