A knowledge-base system facilitating the quantitative evaluation of swot and cpr in all kinds of firms

Abstract EN

A knowledge base acting as an expert system has been prepared to enable the strategist to calculate easily all parameters of a mathematical model developed by the author.

This model was developed to evaluate mathematically the components of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats, the (SWOT) and the Competitive Position Rating (CPR) of a firm.

This knowledge-based system presents the implementation process of the evaluation method developed in that model.

However, the system allows the strategic questions to be answered based on the positive percentage value (P) and then computes automatically different aspects of the quantitative evaluation process.

The application of this system is implemented by using the Microsoft Access 2000 and Microsoft visual basic 6 codes.

The system has a very friendly operating environment, allowing the user to get started quickly.

The user will be capable to perform a productive work after spending only a little time.
