Organization strategy and stakeholders

What is PESTLE analysis ?
PESTEL analysis is a technique for identifying and listing the apolitical , economic , social , technological , environmental and legal factors in the general environment most relevant to an organization .

PESTEL analysis is a simple and effective tool used in situation analysis to identify the key external (macro environment level) forces that might affect an organization. These forces can create both opportunities and threats for an organization. Therefore, the aim of doing PESTEL is to:

• find out the current external factors affecting an organization;
• identify the external factors that may change in the future;
• to exploit the changes (opportunities) or defend against them (threats) better than competitors would do.

In addition PESTEL analysis is also done to assess the potential of a new market. The general rule is that the more negative forces are affecting that market the harder it is to do business in it. The difficulties that will have to be dealt with significantly reduce profit potential and the firm can simply decide not to engage in any activity in that market.
