SWOT analysis
Overview of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of a subject (Humprhey, 2005). Strengths are HELPFUL to achieving the objectives of the SICS and have an INTERNAL focus (referring to attributes of the SICS), and weaknesses are HARMFULL to achieving the objectives of the SICS and also have an INTERNAL focus. Opportunities are HELPFUL to achieving the objectives of the SICS and have an EXTERNAL focus (attributes of the pedo-environmental zones), and threats are HARMFULL to achieving the objectives of the SICS and have an EXTERNAL focus.
Synergistic
Is when separate elements produce a greater effect when acting together than would be produced if they acted separately.
