How can a SWOT analysis help Netflix in identifying its competitors?

A SWOT analysis can help Netflix identify its competitors by examining the company's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Strengths and Weaknesses are internal factors, while Opportunities and Threats are external factors. By analyzing these, Netflix can identify who their direct and indirect competitors are. For example, direct competitors might be other streaming services, while indirect competitors could be other forms of entertainment such as video games or even sleep, as mentioned by Netflix's CEO. Understanding these competitors can help Netflix strategize and stay competitive.

Video games also represent a way for Netflix to combat this threat of substitution with the offer of additional entertainment options.
