PESTLE Analysis
 A PESTLE analysis is a useful tool for understanding the ‘big
picture’ of the environment in which an organization is
operating.
 PESTLE analysis describes a framework of environmental
factors used in the environmental scanning component
of strategic management. It is part of an external analysis
when conducting a strategic analysis or doing market research,
and gives an overview of the different environmental factors
that can impact the organization.
 Specifically a PESTLE analysis is a useful tool for understanding
risks associated with market (the need for a product or
service) growth or decline, and as such the position, potential
and direction for an individual business or organization.

 Political factors. These include government regulations such
as employment laws, environmental regulations and tax policy.
Other political factors are trade restrictions and political
stability.
 Economic factors. These affect the cost of capital and
purchasing power of an organization. Economic factors include
economic growth, interest rates, inflation and currency
exchange rates.
 Social factors. These impact on the consumer’s need and the
potential market size for an organization's goods and services.
Social factors include population growth, age demographics and
attitudes towards health.
 Technological factors. These influence barriers to entry, make
or buy decisions and investment in innovation, such as
automation, investment incentives and the rate of
technological change.
 Legal factors include discrimination law, consumer
law, antitrust law, employment law, and health and safety law.
These factors can affect how a company operates, its costs, and
the demand for its products.
 Environmental factors include ecological and environmental
aspects such as weather, climate, and climate change, which
may especially affect industries such as tourism, farming, and
insurance. Furthermore, growing awareness of the potential
impacts of climate change is affecting how companies operate
and the products they offer, both creating new markets and
diminishing or destroying existing ones.
