SWOT Environmental Scanning

In 150-250 words, conduct a basic SWOT analysis of an organization or
department to which you belong. How do you see these factors affecting the
direction of HR? Please cite at least one scholarly reference in addition to the
course text to support your response. Respond to at least two of your
classmates’ posts by Day 7.

, In the context of HRM, the outcome of effective environmental scanning is a

starting point of a process commonly referred to as a SWOT analysis. SWOT

is an acronym that stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and

threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal to the organization, while

opportunities and threats are external factors. The external focus of

environmental scanning facilitates the analysis of those external

opportunities and threats within the organization’s legal, economic,

geographic, and social environments.
