Limitations of the SWOT model

Like many other strategy models, the SWOT model was proposed by McKinsey for a long time, with the limitations of the times. In the past, companies may have been more concerned with cost and quality, and companies may have placed more emphasis on organizational processes. For example, if the former electric typewriter is replaced by a printer, how should it be transformed? Should it be a printer or some other electromechanical related product?

From the SWOT analysis, the electric typewriter manufacturer's strength is in electromechanical, but the development of printers again seems to have a better chance. As a result, some towards the development of printers, die a terrible death; some towards the development of razor production is very successful. It all depends on whether you want an opportunity-based growth strategy or a capability-based growth strategy.

SWOT does not take into account the initiative of a company to change the status quo; it is possible for a company to find new resources to create the advantages that the company needs to achieve strategic goals that could not be achieved in the past.

In the process of applying SWOT analysis, you may encounter some problems with its adaptability. Because there are so many occasions when SWOT analysis can be applied, it must be adaptable. However this can also lead to anomalies. The problems created by the basic SWOT method of analysis can be solved by the more advanced POWERSWOT analysis.
