Follow below format SWOT Analysis Paper Structure
Analyze the internal and external environments of the organization along the following terms:
Section I:
Write a company history, including a mission statement if available.
Section II:
Thoroughly explain at least two major strengths and two major weaknesses of the organization. For each strength, discuss why it can be considered a distinctive competence for the organization. For each weakness, discuss what the organization could do to minimize it. You should have a minimum of a full paragraph for the discussion of each strength and weakness.
For each strength and weakness, ensure you use relevant business theories, concepts, and practices that are aligned to support the statements and findings. Note that bullet points are not acceptable.
Select any five relevant financial ratios that would be appropriate to the analysis. If you are unable to get specific financial statement information then you can work with other appropriate financial information that you are able to obtain such as information from a divisional budget. There are plenty of websites that provide information on financial ratios and the following are two examples. If these links are not working, you can still search using the key words “financial ratios” and that should take you to websites that provide this information:

https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0910/6-basic-financial-ratios-and-what-they-tell-you.aspx (Links to an external site.)
Discuss how the financial ratios can be applied to the SWOT analysis. Do these ratios show strengths? Is the organization struggling financially? Are there financial opportunities?
Section III:
Thoroughly research and analyze two opportunities and two threats that this organization is facing. Each of these opportunities and threats must come from a force or forces occurring within a dimension of the general environment within the organization’s external environment (keep in mind an opportunity or threat can stem from more than one dimension within the general environment). Be sure to include in your discussion the relevant dimension of the general environment from which each of these forces is derived.
