This document provides an overview of macro marketing environment factors. It discusses the key components of the marketing environment including the internal environment, microenvironment, and macroenvironment. The macroenvironment consists of large societal and industry influences outside of a company's control such as political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and demographic factors. These macro factors are important for companies to consider when planning marketing strategies. The document also provides an example of using a PEST analysis to evaluate the macroenvironment and discusses how companies can respond either passively or aggressively to changes in the marketing environment.
