The Organizational Environment Like individuals, organizations do not exist in a vacuum.
They are created and managed within specific contexts
Each organisation is embedded in an context or environment that comprises a wide range of institutions – economic, social, political and cultural institutions - which can affect (and are affected by) an organization and its activity
These institutions are formal and informal rules, norms and values which constitute societies such as laws, regulations, consumer preferences
This environment is often very complex and rapidly changing; and the rate of change has increased (turbulence/chaos)

Why Study Business Environment
Development of broad strategies to ensure sustainability
To foresee the impact of socio-economic changes at the national and international levels on firm’s ability
Analysis of competitor’s strategies and formulation of effective counter measures
To keep dynamic and change-ready It links with strategy and planning (refer back
to lecture 6)

PEST:Analysing the general environment
Management’s objective in analysing the general environment is to identify those factors that are likely to be most important for their organisation; to analyse their IMPACT x PROBABILITY
Environmental analysis underpins the strategic response to OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS
PEST is an acronym and stands for Political, Economic, Social and Technological
It could be enlarged to PESTEL (to include Ecological/Environmental and Legal/regulatory factors)……

PESTEL Analysis: Pharmaceutical Industry

LoNGPESTEL This model adds another dimension to
PESTEL It looks at how ‘proximate’ (close) the
impact factors are ranging from very close (Local), through National to the far distant ‘Global’
Hence ‘LoNGPESTEL’
![Page 9: Business Enviroment - Lecture Condense](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/577ccf331a28ab9e788f21bf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
STEEPLE Another variation to the basis PESTEL
model This time we add ‘Ethical’ (see later
lecture on business ethics) To accommodate the extra E we need to
re-configure the acronym:STEEPL+ E for Ethics

Includes all factors outside the organization which provide opportunities or pose threats to the organization
Uncontrollable factors – to some extent
Consists of Micro and Macro environment
