Assume that we want to compare between the related works of our research area of interest, can we use SWOT analysis in this case? If so, how we can use it? If not, which methods can we use to achieve this goal?
SWOT Analysis is an organization's strategic planning tool that involves institutional analysis, environmental scanning, and identification of distinctive competencies, among others. A comparative analysis is made by comparing the institution's capabilities (resulting from the institutional analysis) and those of others (taken from environmental scanning). This comparison is the basis for the determination of the institution's distinctive competencies.The challenge, as mentioned by Mohamed is using the same indicators because while generating data in the institutional analysis will be easy, getting the same data from other institutions will be extremely difficult.
