➢ What is the PESTLE tool?
PESTLE stands for Political Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental factors. PESTLE is to find out the businesses current position of any organisation in their external environment. PESTLE can be used as a basis for further planning and strategic management. Kotler (1998) “claims that PEST analysis is a useful strategic tool for understanding market growth or decline, business position, potential and direction for operations”.
PESTLE analysis is in effect an audit of an organisation's environmental influences with the purpose of using this information to guide strategic decision-making. The assumption is that if the organisation is able to audit its current environment and assess potential changes, it will be better placed than its competitors to respond to changes.
