Situation analysisIn strategic management, situation analysis refers to a collection of methods that managers use to analyze an organization's internal and external environment to understand the organization's capabilities, customers, and business environment. The situation analysis can include several methods of analysis such as the 5C analysis, SWOT analysis and Porter's five forces analysis.Strategic fitStrategic fit is the degree to which an organization's resources and capabilities align with its strategy and with opportunities in the external environment. Resources are assets and inputs to production, controlled by the company, and capabilities describe what the company can do with those resources. If the company's resources and capabilities are closely aligned with its strategy, the strategy is more likely to succeed.
