The SWOT matrix is the quintessential analysis tool for business purposes, and is taught both in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. However, it is widely understood that the selection of the critical success factors (CSFs) that are included for analysis in the matrix is a very subjective and unstructured process, leaving room for bias and arbitrariness. One way to give a better foundation and support to the analysis results is by utilizing Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) in order to weigh the importance of CSFs in the SWOT matrix and increase reliability of the output. This paper contains the design of a strategy to teach this topic in a marketing planning course, with the addition of a useful technique to overcome the limitations of the tool.

This paper comprises the design of a strategy to teach perceptual mapping in a Brand Management course, adding a modeling technique in order to elaborate such maps. Perceptual maps are tools used to analyze the positioning of a brand, and are taught in undergraduate and graduate courses. However, very frequently a purely descriptive and theoretical framework is used, disregarding the mechanisms to construct them. Methods based on multiple linear regression and factorial analysis are presented as modeling tools to explain and foster a better understanding of this subject in class.
