After the elements and methods mentioned in the internal environmental analysis, strengths and weaknesses can be determined. The strengths are the features that distinguish the businesses from others and are relatively advantageous compared to their rivals (Alavi, 2018). They express what is good and correct in business.
As a result, strengths of Turkey in the maritime transportation are specified in Table 1. The aim of identifying the strengths is to use these in the most beneficial way and to create strategies in which the existing strengths can be used.
For a business or enterprise, weakness means less effective ways or activities than other competitors or rivals in the field. Generally speaking, weakness is a bad situation when the business is worse than its competitors.
Weaknesses in Turkey's maritime transportation are specified in Table 1 also. The aim of identifying weaknesses is to reduce weaknesses and even turn into weaknesses to strengths by way of the suitable strategies.
4.2
DETERMINING OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
The second sub-analysis of the SWOT analysis is the external environment analysis. In this analysis, the enterprise or business receives a number of inputs from the external environment. These inputs are sources such as raw materials, semi-finished products, financial resources, human resources and information resources to be used by the enterprise or business in production (Joyce, 2015). The external world -named as outer world- of the enterprise supplies various elements to the enterprise. Also, the enterprise transfers its outputs to another external environment. As seen here, the enterprise is surrounded by many external environment elements.
The analysis of the external environment is carried out as described above for the enterprises. Similar elements are considered in the application of this analysis to maritime. The analysis of the external environment related to Turkey’s maritime policy shows that the level of the other countries in maritime issues and the areas in which they showed progress related to maritime.
