22 Questions to Ask Before Writing a SWOT Analysis

From Books to the Field: Dr. Mostafa Nawareg’s Applied Frameworks Index

From Books to the Field is the reference index of the applied frameworks Dr. Mostafa Nawareg has published in English on this site. They are drawn from his 40 books and from 24 years of consulting and corporate training across 22 countries and 41 industries. Each framework turns a recurring management decision into named stages, questions and tests that can be applied to a company’s own data.

Why This Index Exists

Marketing and management books explain what and why; managers in a meeting need to know what to do next. This series moves concepts from the page into working tools with a name and a clear sequence, usable in a management meeting, a training workshop or a consulting session.

This page lists the 19 frameworks available in English, grouped by the type of decision, with one line on what each framework settles and a link to the article that explains it with practical cases. The Arabic index covers the full library of 58 frameworks.

A note on method: most of these frameworks are analytical tools proposed by the author within his articles. They organise established ideas from marketing and management literature into a single decision path; they are not peer-reviewed academic scales or published quantitative findings.
