This is the second in a 2-part Business English Pod series on presenting a SWOT analysis.


A SWOT analysis is a tool that helps companies understand their strengths and weaknesses, while keeping in mind the opportunities and threats they face. In this way, companies can take a look at both the internal and external factors that can impact their success. This information can be used in a variety of ways, such as project planning, crisis management, and competitive analysis.


In the last episode, Terry, who works at a growing accountancy firm, began a presentation for Susan, the newly hired marketing 1 manager. Terry presented his SWOT Analysis quite casually 2, as a one-to-one discussion with Susan. He introduced some of the company’s strengths and weaknesses, internal factors that affect the firm’s growth.


In this episode, Terry will introduce the opportunities and threats faced by the firm. These are external forces that need to be considered before developing a new marketing strategy. As the dialog starts, Susan responds to Terry’s presentation of the company’s strengths and weaknesses, as Terry moves on to begin discussing opportunities.


Listening Questions:


1) What has the local government done in response to the current economic situation?

2) Who is in charge of the tax advisory 3 division of the firm?

3) What does Terry think is important for Susan’s marketing campaign?
