    Business Strategies in Organizations

    • These strategies provide broad, overarching goals that guide the direction of the entire organization.
    • Misunderstanding corporate-level strategies may include confusing them with strategies aimed at managing just one business line.

    • PESTEL stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal factors.
    • It serves as a framework for analyzing the external environment affecting organizations.
    • Understanding PESTEL is crucial for strategic planning and identifying opportunities or threats within a business context.
