Pakistan is heavily dependent on imported fuel for power generation. Depending on imported fuel has not only increased GHG emissions, but it has also put a burden on the national exchequer and raised apprehensions on energy security. This paper thus investigates the consequences of oil-based power generation on the economy, environment, and energy security of Pakistan. SWOT-Delphi approach has been adopted. The study discovered that the use of imported oil for power generation is detrimental to the economy, environment, and energy security of Pakistan. It further suggests that Pakistan should immediately abandon oil-based power generation and explore green energy alternatives for its sustainable economic growth. This study uses a hybrid model that combines strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) analysis with the Delphi method.

This paper describes the results of a survey and study performed for the European Commission on “Regulations Governing Radioactive Waste Disposal in EU Countries”. Its main purposes were to provide a survey of the regulations governing the disposal of all forms of radioactive waste in all EU Members States and, based on this study, to consider the potential for harmonization in different regulatory areas. Three key parts of the study are presented and the results discussed: collection and assessment of national data, including its verification by national stakeholders, application of multiattribute analysis methodology to identify optimal waste classification scheme and a workshop of national authorities regulating disposal of radioactive waste. For five determined regulatory issues, the workshop carried out a “strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats” (SWOT) analysis of the impacts of harmonization. Opinions expressed in the paper are those of the authors and do not represent the EC’s official position.

In the article considered the issues of constructing a classic SWOT analysis matrix, forming a list of key factors of the external and internal environment to assess the degree of their impact on the activities of real enterprises of Ukraine, improving the method of conducting SWOT analysis through the use of scientifically based scales and indicators. The thesis justified that SWOT analysis and other classic strategic management tools are conceptually described, and their use causes many approaches to their mathematical formalization and use. We propose our own approach to quantifying the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise, external threats and opportunities at the main ten stages. The focus is on step-by-step calculation of integrated indicators for the main groups of SWOT analysis and their qualitative interpretation. Examples of implementation of SWOT analysis for a real enterprise are given. The company’s strengths and weaknesses were identified. External capabilities and threats were analyzed. To assess the importance of indicators, a pairwise comparison technique was used, which provides for the estimation of indicators based on the average geometric value according to T. Saati. This made it possible to prioritize factors within the SWOT analysis methodology. Four quadrants are filled at the intersection of strengths/weaknesses, opportunities/threats and four types of potential strategies for the enterprise are described in the field defining: guidelines for the strategic development of the company; strategic advantages of the company; guidelines for the internal transformation of the enterprise; Limiting strategic development. Using a quantitative approach made it possible to build a SPACE matrix of strategy selection.

This study has been conducted to detect the strengths and the improvement requiring areas of sea transportation in Turkey via SWOT analysis, and the opportunities this sector brings to Turkey and the threats that might appear have been put forward in several aspects. When the necessary advances have been made considering the outcomes of this study, it can be foreseen that Turkish navigation can make a swift progress and assume its place in the top 5 mercantile fleets of the World Trade Fleet. Moreover, this new approach that can be developed through the example of Turkey, especially in the context of SWOT analysis methodology, can get to be seen as a role model before the other developing countries.Sea transportation is not merely a transportation sector. Along with goods and human transportation, ship building industry, port services, sea insurance and sea tourism are among the many naval activities. Because of all these, sea transportation has a significant place in international trade. The overall commercial value of world trade mounting up to 15 trillion US dollars, 9 trillion dollars of this has been conducted via sea transportation. In other words, 60 percent of world commerce has been done through sea transportation (GISBIR, 2013). Furthermore, the volume of the dry bulk market via sea transportation is expected to grow by 6 percent between the years 2014 and 2018 (GISBIR, 2013).

The article grounds the use of SWOT analysis methodology for complex evaluation of conditions for enterprises’ cluster association development. It determines the factors that affect significantly food enterprises’ cluster association development: the legal basis and norms regulating the activities of enterprises’ cluster; attractiveness of the field and the level of competition in the sphere cluster enterprises belong to; benefits and threats from foreign environment regarding the cluster’s activity; strengths and weaknesses of cluster association’s member enterprises, their competitive opportunities; the availability of cluster structure development strategy; corporate culture type. It suggests the coefficient of level of SWOT analysis matrix margins influence on enterprises’ cluster association activities. The research results state that the level of SWOT analysis “SO” matrix margin influence on dairy industry cluster association is 0.73. It proves a significant level of this quadrant impact on enterprises’ cluster. The level of SWOT analysis ST matrix margin influence on dairy field cluster association is 0.34. It proves that there is an average level of this quadrant impact on enterprises’ cluster. The level of SWOT analysis “WO” matrix margin influence on dairy field cluster association is 0.09. It underlines an insignificant level of this quadrant influence on enterprises’ cluster. Yet, the level of SWOT analysis WT matrix margin influence on dairy industry cluster association (-0.39) is of great importance and emphasizes the threatening influence of this quadrant on enterprises’ cluster. The results of the conducted research due to SWOT analysis method are taken into account while developing the strategy of food enterprises’ cluster association development. The strategy of concentrated growth is chosen for dairy field cluster, in particular the strategy of strengthening positions in the market and the strategy of market development.
