Evaluation of internal and external context factors using the IFE and EFE matrix A case study at the National Engineering Consulting Center

Abstract

This research aims to study the context of the National Center for Engineering Consulting and to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of high importance according to the IFE and EFE matrix. The problem that the center suffers from is that the center does not determine the factors of the internal and external context in a manner commensurate with the dynamic changes in the internal and external environments of the center. As for the importance of the research, the center encouraged the research sample on the importance of applying the SWOT matrix and the IFE and EFE matrix to know the context of the research center and evaluate its elements. The practical aspect of the research has been applied in the National Center for Engineering Consultation, and thus it has relied on collecting data and information, personal interviews, access to records and documents related to the research, and the researcher reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which was the system used in the center to know the context that does not determine the internal and external factors affecting it. Therefore, it is considered a formal and incorrect mechanism.
