3. PESTEL analysis is an acronym for a tool used to
identify the macro (external) forces facing an
organisation.
The letters stand for Political, Economic, Social,
Technological, Environmental and Legal.
Depending on the organisation, it can be reduced to
PEST or some areas can be added (e.g. Ethical)
In marketing, before any kind of strategy or tactical
plan can be implemented, it is fundamental to
conduct a situational analysis.
And the PESTEL forms part of that and should be
repeated at regular stages (6 monthly minimum) to
identify changes in the macro-environment
