Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sara is using value chain analysis to examine how the firm's activities contribute to its competitive advantage. Porter's 5-Forces Model and SWOT analysis are other tools used for strategic analysis, but they do not specifically focus on analyzing a firm's activities like value chain analysis does. There is no such thing as SWAT analysis.
