SWOT Analyses Part 1

Today in our business class, we were asked to do a swot analyses of a school. I will only talk about one part of this swot analyses because we haven’t talked about the 7S matrix that forms the SW (strengths and weaknesses) of a business.

QUESTION :Identify steeple factors for the opportunity and threats for a school.

The Koc School

Social

 It can be both an opportunity and a threat.

Opportunity:  The koc school is a prestigious school and the parents backgrounds are high standard. They have sufficient incomes opposed to the workers in a factory.

To convert threats into opportunities, and improve the opportunities, the koc school can help educate the families in the east and try change their ideologies.  Also the school can organize educational seminars knowledge and awareness.

Technological

It can both be considered as an opportunity and a threat.

Threat: If the school stores all its important important in computer system ,if a system failure occurs, all the  data base could be destroyed. There is also a change of the school network being hacked.

Opportunity: In the Koc school there are special student websites like moodle, naviance and personal page in order to keep students updated about their grades and organize them.  These websites provide easy and fast access which can allow time to be used efficientle.

Special codes and passwords are given to parents to inform them about their children.

Kocscholl should store its data also in other hard disks and improve the security systems by obligating password change every few months. Moreover the access duration should be increased in order to prevent students from being interrupted.

 Mr Sen told us : Be carefull, STEEPLE IS A TOOL USED TO MEASURE THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT NOT THE HYPOTHETICAL SENERIO. He also said remember, Social factors include demographic factor.
