<p>SWOT analysis is widely used in many organizations when devising their annual or quarterly strategic plans. However
many of these analyses are done with one or two stakeholders overlooking the fact that multiple stakeholders are necessary
in devising strategies that will bring value to all. The study used strategic management theory to test the assumption that
different stakeholders would hold different perspectives in a S.W.O.T. analysis. Open ended questionnaires were distributed
to participants and 8 responses were acquired from consumers, frontline staff and executives. The questionnaire was
comprised of probe questions for the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of ZESA. Although there were a
number of similarities in terms of themes, three different perspectives did stem from the study according to the three
stakeholders’ responses. The study’s recommendations on theory, research and managers were discussed. As a result the
work successfully demonstrated a working method of multi-stakeholder perspective to conduct S.W.O.T. analysis in a South
African company that operates in electricity sector. </p>
