The Professional Student: “Situation Analysis” Subway Sandwiches SWOT

Hello, and welcome back! Graduate Students at WCU in the Innovative Leadership and Entrepreneurship master’s program were challenged this week with using the SWOT analysis framework to analyze a company of their choosing. Since I previously chose Subway Sandwiches as a subject for my advertisement blog posts, I decided to continue with them.

I fondly remember eating Subway sandwiches when I was younger in the early 2000s. As a freshly graduated from high school “adult” newly enlisted in the Army, Subway was always my go-to option. You couldn’t beat the $5 footlong promotions, and I was on the budget of an Army Private. Money was not plentiful, but I made it work. Chicken teriyaki on Italian herbs and cheese bread with olives, green peppers, onions, and spinach toasted with pepper jack cheese was my favorite Subway sandwich during that time, and I would probably order it now if I still ate at Subway. 

Please enjoy my presentation on Subway. Below the video, you’ll find a complete reference list with clickable links.
