Strengths and weaknesses are traits internal to the      hospital (i.e., strong physician loyalty to hospital, aging building, and      availability of financial resources).Opportunities and threats are external to the hospital,      such as a mall facility available for lease or a competitor hospital      opening two physician practices in your market.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word analysis that incorporates the key components of a SWOT analysis for the scenario described in Week 1 to generate a list of perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The analysis will include the following:

Analyze the purpose of conducting the analysis in the      context of the scenario.Analyze the limitations and advantages of conducting a      SWOT analysis on your own (vs. with a group of stakeholders).Use the table provided to record your analysis of the      information from the strategic planning scenario and generate two factors      for each of the SWOT categories (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and      threats).
