SWOT Analysis Essay Pape
Each essay should include an Introduction that is a brief history of the topic or trend, where it came from and why it is important. Then sections for each topic, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats followed by a conclusion on your thoughts of the trend/topic and how it may or may not work in a department. For a maximum grade each section should include a number of examples and how those examples support that section.
Example: Increased demand for Dog Parks
Introduction (Brief history) – less open space, more condo/apartment living, desire for companion animals to be in public space…
Strength – Opportunity for dogs to get outside and be part of their owners’ life.
Weakness – Take public land opportunity away for other uses
Opportunity – Previously undesired or unused lands can be more easily converted to dog parks (drain and flood areas).
Threats – Endangered species may prevent more dog parks, i.e. nesting birds and their fear of predators.
Conclusion – what recommendations would you make to parks departments, to increase or decrease dogs parks and where should they be located.
