TOWS MatrixTOWS Matrix
Steps in developing the TOWS Matrix
1. List the firm’s key external opportunities
2. List the firm’s key external threats
3. List the firm’s key internal strengths
4. List the firm’s key internal weaknesses

SPACE MatrixSPACE Matrix
• Select variables to define FS, CA, ES, & IS
• Assign numerical ranking from +1 (worst) to +6 (best) for FS and IS; Assign numerical ranking from –1 (best) to –6 (worst) for ES and CA.
• Compute average score for FS, CA, ES, & IS

• Plot the average scores on the Matrix• Add the two scores on the x-axis and
plot point on X. Add the scores on the y-axis and plot Y. Plot the intersection of the new xy point.
• Draw a directional vector from origin through the new intersection point.
