I chose to complete the SWOT Analysis Quiz. I found most of it challenging, but I had the hardest time between threat and weakness. I kept mixing the two up and wasn’t able to learn the difference until the end when I got to look at the overview portion. I was able to learn that threats are external factors and weaknesses are internal factors. In the future, I will be able to decipher between the two and choose correctly between the two options. I think that marketers might overlook their strengths because they are busy looking at future opportunities and the potential threats that could be created and the weaknesses that they already have.
