The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

• What is PESTLE analysis?
• What does PESTLE analysis include?
• Case study on post harvest losses.
4. PESTLE analysis
• PESTLE is an analytical tool which
considers external factors and helps
you to think about their impacts
5. PESTLE analysis
• Is a useful tool for understanding the “big
picture” of the environment in which you are
operating
• By understanding your environment, you can
take advantage of the opportunities and
minimize the threats.
• This provides the context within which more
detailed planning can take place to take full
advantage of the opportunities that present
themselves.
6. The factors in PESTLE analysis
• P – Political
– The current and potential influences from political pressures
• E - Economic
– The local, national and world economic impact
• S - Sociological
– The ways in which changes in society affect the project
• T - Technological
– How new and emerging technology affects our project / organization
• L - Legal
– How local, national and global legislation affects the project
• E - Environmental
– Local, national and global environmental issues
7. • In contrast to a SWOT, PESTLE encourages you
to think about the wider environment and what
might be happening now and in the future which
will either benefit or be of disadvantage to the
organization, individual etc
– a kind of radar which picks up trends and
developments in the external environment which
can be used to inform longer term planning and
strategy making
PESTLE vs. SWOT
8. • Political:
– Government type and stability
– Freedom of the press, rule of law and levels of bureaucracy and corruption
– Regulation and de-regulation trends
– Social and employment legislation
– Tax policy, and trade and tariff controls
– Environmental and consumer-protection legislation
– Likely changes in the political environment
• Economic:
– Stage of a business cycle
– Current and projected economic growth, inflation and interest rates
– Unemployment and supply of labor
– Labor costs
– Levels of disposable income and income distribution
– Impact of globalization
– Likely impact of technological or other changes on the economy
– Likely changes in the economic environment
PESTLE
9. PESTLE
• Sociological:
– Cultural aspects, health consciousness, population growth rate, age distribution,
– Organizational culture, attitudes to work, management style, staff attitudes
– Education, occupations, earning capacity, living standards
– Ethical issues, diversity, immigration/emigration, ethnic/religious factors
– Media views, law changes affecting social factors, trends, advertisements,
publicity
– Demographics: age, gender, race, family size
• Technological:
– Maturity of technology, competing technological developments, research funding,
technology legislation, new discoveries
– Information technology, internet, global and local communications
– Technology access, licensing, patents, potential innovation, replacement
technology/solutions, inventions, research, intellectual property issues, advances
in manufacturing
– Transportation, energy uses/sources/fuels, associated/dependent technologies,
rates of obsolescence, waste removal/recycling
11. • It is possible to use the PESTLE analysis on projects
as well for organizations
• It is not always needed, especially if the projects are
small
• If PESTLE analysis is used for a project, then the
focus should be on solving the “focal problem” and
analyze how the external environment is affecting the
process of solving the “focal problem”
– e.g. the guidelines from the European Commission do not
include PESTLE in their logical framework approach
PESTLE analysis and projects
12. • The main problem with these external PESTLE factors is
that they are continuously changing
• Therefore PESTLE analysis should include a thorough
analysis of what is affecting the organization or a project
Now, and what is likely to affect it in the Future
• The result of a PESTLE analysis is usually a list of
positive and negative factors that are likely to affect a
project
– However, by themselves, theses factors they mean very little
– It is important to bear in mind, that PESTLE analysis requires
careful Application of results
Issues of concern
13. • Other forms of PEST - PESTLE, PESTLIED, STEEPLE and
SLEPT:
Some people prefer to use different flavors of PEST analysis, using
other factors for different situations. The variants are:
• PESTLE/PESTEL: Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological,
Legal, Environmental;
• PESTLIED: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal,
International, Environmental, Demographic;
• STEEPLE: Social/Demographic, Technological, Economic,
Environmental, Political, Legal, Ethical; and
• SLEPT: Social, Legal, Economic, Political, Technological

• Low political interest among the general public and therefore
little or no pressure on government
• Low political pressure from fishermen and boat owners
• Low interest among politicians
• High interest among government to improve the situation on
post harvest losses
• Frequent changes in policy due to rapid changes in politically
elected authorities within the government affecting stability of
practical resolutions
• Possibilities for fishermen- and vessel owner associations to
influence future policy making and contributing to political
decisions
• International agreements e.g. IOTC
