Published SWOT analyzes can be found in the Business Insights, Nexis Uni, and ABI Inform databases. These are subscription library databases and you must be logged with your Berkeley College username and password to access them.
To access our databases:
Click the A-Z Databases tile on the library homepage
Once on the database page, select the database you wish to view from the alphabetical list. Or click on the "All Database Types" dropdown box and select "SWOT."
*NOTE* - A published SWOT analysis may be a good starting point for your company analysis, but DO NOT simply copy and paste from a published SWOT or SWOT graph/chart. To do so would be plagiarism. Your analysis should be supported by the source evidence for the points you are making!
Your odds of finding a published SWOT increase when you pick a large, well-known company to research.
