INTERNAL STRATEGIC FACTOR ANALYSIS SUMMARY (IFAS)
Weighted
Internal Strategic Factors Weight Rating score Comments
Strengths 1 2 3 4 5
Weaknesses
Notes: 1. List strenghts and weaknesses (5-10 each) in Column 1. 2. Weight each factor from 1.0 (most important) to 0.0 (not
important) in Column 2 based on the factor's probable impact on the company's strategic position. The total weights must
sum 1.00. 3. Rate each factor from 5 (outstanding) to 1 (poor) in Column 3 based on the company's response to that
factor. 4. Multiply each factor's weight time its rating to obtain each factor's weighted score in Column 4. 5. Use Column 5
(comments) for rationale used for each factor. 6. Add the weighted scores to obtain the total weighted score for the
company in Column 4. This tells how well the company is responding to the strategic factors in its external environment.
