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.
