Introduction This SWOTT analysis has been conducted to better understand the company I am deciding to invest in. The company I have chosen is Apple. Through the vehicle of SWOTT analysis I plan to research the firm’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats and trends. I will derive the necessary information required to make the best decision for the fund and most importantly the investors. I will then determine the company’s internal and external stakeholders. I will render the wants and needs of these stakeholders and whether or not the stakeholders’ wants and needs are being met. If the stakeholders’ needs are not being met I will explain why and what the company should do to meet those wants and needs.
