Study Notes
PECSTLE Framework
- PECSTLE is an expanded PESTLE analysis, used to analyze external factors for organizations/projects.
- This framework provides a comprehensive overview by including:
- Political factors (e.g., stability, laws, trade)
- Economic factors (e.g., economy, rates, inflation)
- Cultural factors (e.g., societal roles, wealth division, health/safety)
- Technological factors (e.g., change rate, automation, innovation)
- Legal factors (e.g., laws, regulations)
- Environmental Factors (e.g., impact, sustainability)
When to Use PECSTLE
- Strategic planning: Assessing external opportunities/threats
- Risk management: Anticipating potential problems
- Market analysis: Understanding new markets/industries
Examples of Using PECSTLE
-
Expanding a business into a new country (e.g., India):
- Political: Evaluate political stability, government incentives for investors, and regulations (e.g., data storage).
- Economic: Analyze GDP growth, disposable income, inflation, and potential consumer price sensitivity.
- Cultural: Understand consumer preferences and local customs.
- Social: Consider education levels, societal trends, and workforce demographics.
- Technological: Assess internet penetration, tech readiness and mobile usage.
- Legal: Examine labor laws, taxes, IP protection.
- Environmental: Review sustainability concerns and potential green energy initiatives.
-
Launching a new product (e.g., EV):
- Political: Check government policies promoting EVs (e.g., subsidies, charging station infrastructure).
- Economic: Analyze consumer affordability & market potential. High fuel prices would make EVs more desirable.
- Cultural: Understand consumer attitudes toward sustainability/innovation.
- Social: Assess consumer readiness to adopt EVs (e.g., urban dwellers preferring compact EVs).
- Technological: Evaluate charging infrastructure and battery technology.
- Legal: Ensure compliance with emissions and safety regulations.
- Environmental: Analyze the environmental benefits and company's carbon footprint.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- A psychological theory explaining human motivation.
- Depicted as a pyramid with 5 levels, from basic to complex needs.
- Individuals must fulfill lower-level needs before focusing on higher-level needs.
Five Levels of Needs
- Physiological (basic): Food, water, air, sleep, warmth
- Safety (basic): Security, shelter, health, financial stability
- Love/Belonging (social): Relationships, friendships, family
- Esteem (psychological): Self-respect, confidence, recognition, achievement
- Self-Actualization (highest): Personal growth, creativity, fulfilling potential
