1. INTRODUCTION This project is one of three assigned reports I will complete as part of the strategic analysis of Johnson and Johnson. This firs report focuses on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) and includes the following sections. First, the major concepts related to the SWOT analysis will be defined. Second, those concepts will be applied to the specific case of Johnson and Johnson. Then the evidence from Johnson and Johnson will be evaluated to identify the

Firms, in general, tend to produce the quantity which ensures that marginal cost equals marginal revenue in order to maximise profit. This way of deciding the best output applies to both monopolies and competitive firms, though outcomes differ. The total output defines the equilibrium price for the level of consumer demand.
