Study Notes

SWOT and PESTLE Analysis

  • SWOT analysis is a framework for understanding a market, conducting surveys or employing other techniques to gauge market needs and trends. It's used from a strategic management perspective to determine trends and set strategies.
  • PESTLE analysis is a deeper approach to the marketing environment, which considers the Political, Economic, Social, and Technological trends in the market. PESTLE analysis expands on PEST by adding Legal and Environmental factors.
  • PESTLE analysis offers a broader view of the business environment. It helps determine specific trends, and the macroeconomic perspective of a market or business.
  • Political factors include government influences, economic cycles, and industry-specific regulations.
  • Economic factors include inflation rates, interest rates, economic growth, and demand and supply trends.
  • Social factors include cultural trends, demographic factors, and age distributions.
  • Technological factors include technological advancements relevant to the industry and their impact.
  • Legal factors are business-relevant laws and regulations.
  • Environmental factors consider geographic location, weather, and climate.

Components of SWOT Analysis

  • Strengths: The positive attributes of a company's product or service.
  • Weaknesses: The negative aspects or areas needing improvement in a company's products or services.
  • Opportunities: Potential benefits external to the company.
  • Threats: Outside factors that can harm a company or its products or services.

SWOT vs. PESTLE Analysis

  • SWOT is an analysis of the internal and external environment from a company's perspective.
  • PESTLE focuses solely on the external environment.
  • SWOT is product or service specific, whereas, PESTLE considers the broader macro-environment.
  • PESTLE is broader in scope and more macro-focused, whereas, SWOT is more narrow in scope and micro-focused.
  • Together, they provide a complete picture for strategic preparation and planning, allowing for a more effective strategy.

Using SWOT and PESTLE Together

  • Combining SWOT and PESTLE analysis creates a comprehensive view of a company's strategy, using both internal and external factors to inform strategic decision-making
  • Internal factors are addressed via SWOT.
  • External factors are addressed via PESTLE.
  • PESTLE analysis can help determine potential risks and provide an external perspective, which is then compared to/linked to a company's SWOT analysis for a holistic picture of how the external environment affects the company's internal operations.
