A SWOT analysis can effectively identify opportunities that arise from a company's internal weaknesses, highlighting how these weaknesses can be leveraged for growth. True or False?

True. A SWOT analysis lists internal weaknesses and external opportunities side by side, allowing a company to see how a weakness might open a new market or spur innovation. By comparing the two, managers can spot places where fixing a weakness creates a competitive advantage. For example, a company that sees its slow IT system (a weakness) as a chance to invest in cloud services (an opportunity) can grow faster. Thus, SWOT can reveal growth chances that stem from internal shortcomings.
