analysis based on EFAS, IFAS, and SFAS are performed
Progress check
External analysis
• Socio-economic (societal) environment – PEST(LE) analysis
- analyzing general forces that do NOT directly affect business
activities in the short-run BUT they DO influence long-term
decisions
- i.e. forces that regulate the exchange of materials, energy, money,
and information
• Task environment –> industry analysis (Porter’s 5 forces)

Seminar #5 - 8
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
•
•
•
•
GDP trends – prospects of economic growth
Interest rates – past, current and projected
Currency exchange rates
Inflation rates (Consumer Price Index) – past, current, projected –
- $ supply
• Level of unemployment and supply of labor
• Labor costs – wage rates and control
• Availability of natural resources and their costs – energy, oil,
minerals (Iceland)
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Disposable and discretionary income
• Devaluation/revaluation, price control
• Demographics – qty of people on retirement – drawing from
pension funds
• Distribution of wealth (income) in the society – linked w/taxing
• Purchasing power (spending power growth)
• Trade agreements (EU, NAFTA, ASEAN)
• Creation of World Trade Org. WTO
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Higher GDP => higher consumer expenditures => alleviating
competitive pressures w/in industry => potential for expansion =>
=> higher profits => OPPORTUNITY
• Fall in GDP => lower profits => price wars due to market saturation
• Higher interest rates => borrowing becomes more expensive =>
FMCGs go unaffected (nearly) => THREAT
=> drop in demand for housing
=> fall in demand for cars, home appliances, capital equipment
=> higher cost of company’s capital => less able to raise funds to
invest in new assets
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Exchange rates
- e.g. Czech company with majority of sales & revenues derived
from trade with customers in Euro-zone
- cheaper Euro => lower revenues after conversion to CZK holding
sales constant => THREAT
- cheaper USD against Japanese Yen => 240 Yen/USD down to
85 Yen/USD => increase in price of imported goods from Japan
(e.g. cars) => protection against competition from abroad =>
=> OPPORTUNITY
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Price inflation => destabilization of economy => economic growth
slowing down => e.g. unstable currency => difficult/hazardous to
engage in investment planning => THREAT
-> real value of future returns becoming uncertain – long-term
projects
• Price deflation => real price of fixed payments goes up => harms
companies w/regular fixed repayments of debt => THREAT
=> lower discretionary income
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Increase in $ supply – decision of National Bank & government
- always in response to latest developments in macro-econ environment
- particularly - in situations when fluctuations in prices are large
• Gov’t doesn’t issue more bonds b/c nobody wants them since they
lose value over time
=> more difficult to plan investments b/c of THREAT of
hyperinflation
=> trade conducted using alternative (more stable) currencies
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• High level of unemployment => greater # of people to choose from
=> higher tendency to treat employees unethically and reduce their
pay
=> falling wage rates
=> higher savings on labor costs (OPPORTUNITY) limited by legally
imposed minimum wage rate (THREAT)
=> tendency to move to countries w/weaker economies yet
qualified workers (1990 – Czechoslovakia, 2010 - Ukraine, etc.)
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Newly found reservoirs of crude oil, ores (iron, gold, silver, copper),
coal, etc.
=> higher volume to be processed => attraction for investors
=> greater exports => higher income to state treasury through taxes
on revenues earned from the exported processed “raw
materials”
=> source of economic stability => easier to predict economic
growth and establish one’s vision under the assumption of
stable political arena and free market economy
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Lower disposable income
- if due to higher taxes => THREAT of “financing” long-term debt
=> “red stop sign” or warning for investors and companies
currently operating in that country => temptations for all to raise
expenditures, suppress revenues and/or reduce salaries to increase
savings => strategic move to avoid higher taxes
• Lower discretionary income => confirmation of above-mentioned
suspicions
=> Need to monitor macro-economic variables and statistics
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• More & more people on retirement - demographics
=> greater $ burden on the state treasury => need to compensate for
increased outflow of $ into pension funds and healthcare sys. by:
a) raising taxes - THREAT
b) issuing more bonds – investment incentive for all
c) reducing $ spent on R&D and education – “insidious” THREAT for
high-tech businesses yet an OPPORTUNITY to seek unskilled
manual workers hired for lower pay
d) reducing $ spent on the development of infrastructure
=> more corporate $ to be sacrificed for employees’ health issues
=> Proportion of a, b, c ,d .. => rational expectations => corp. vision & strategy
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Distribution of wealth in the society
=> large differences in wages b/w managers and manual workers
=> tendency to maximize the use of people w/lower pay and reduce
the no. of top managers
=> inclination to suppress workers’ wages as much as they are willing
to take
=> adjust wages for different professions to the levels commonly accepted
in the society => OPPORTUNITY or THREAT
External analysis – Macro-environment ->
PEST(LE)
How do economic factors affect our business in the
“world of tomorrow, NOT today”?
• Intensifying inflation => decrease in purchasing power
=> lower expected sales => lower revenues earned from sale of any
product which is measured by CPI
=> strategic move to seek new markets/industries (OPPORTUNITY) which:
- have not yet matured or been saturated
- are not experiencing negative trends
- operate under free-market conditions or are subject to a promise of
guaranteed subsidies
=> diversification w/in same market is not a likely long-term solution

=> opportunity to invest into new technologies and development of
associated infrastructure - OPPORTUNITY
=> new jobs for R&D experts and educated professionals
=> new hospitals => more medical doctors needed
=> new assembly lines in IT, automotive => more software
developers needed
=> improved position against competitors -> lower unit
production costs => room to reduce unit price =>
expectations of higher sales => higher sales volumes & thus
revenues for suppliers
External analysis – Technological factors ->
PEST(LE)
• Increasing involvement of universities in R&D and # of R&Doriented organizations in a given country => OPPORTUNITIES
=> increased potential for sale of new products (smart phones)
=> higher # of saved lives via new medications, surgical tools …
=> new/improved modes of transportation -> faster, higher
comfort (more room, i-net access, air-conditioned), more
efficient fuels (airlines going from turbo-propelled to jet
engine aircraft)
External analysis – Technological factors ->
PEST(LE)
• Intentionally increased rate of obsolescence
=> planned obsolescence
-> cars don’t last as long as they used to 40 years ago b/c
auto manufacturers intend to sell more in less time
-> cellular phones are made to break w/the average length of
time spent with one TELCO provider w/out changing one’s
service plan
-> i.e. synchronizing obsolescence w/complementary
products (THREAT/OPPORTUNITY)
External analysis – Environmental factors ->
PEST(LE)
• New or improved sources of energy and more efficient
consumption (new or more efficient fuels) - OPPORTUNITY
• Waste disposal – manufacturers using chemicals for production –
statutory restrictions -> THREAT
• Pollution - older cars shall be subject to higher traffic fees &
insurance (OPPORTUNITY/THREAT)
• Rate of obsolescence - restrictions on the sale of old types of
micro-wave ovens or cellular phones
- OPPORTUNITY/THREAT
• Weather/climate changes – development of new ski resorts
endangered due to decreasing snowfall in a particular region

bathrooms, utilize new utensils … <= health preservation
- the use of unleaded solder enforced => all IT-products
manufacturers must re-design their production processes
• Impact on revenues through influencing demand for products
made by the company
- all drivers must buy new a first-aid kit – to comply w/new traffic
legislation => secure business for their manufacturers
External analysis – Socio-cultural factors ->
PEST(LE)
• Regulate values, morals, customs, religious concerns
- Demographics – changes in ethnic composition; religious
concerns; immigration/emigration issues; trends in the geographic
distribution of population; life expectancy changes; birth rates
- Demographics – aging population => qty of people on retirement
–> drawing from pension funds
-> Ramadan period for Muslims => work-related restrictions
-> special requirements for dining services at work
-> work time-related issues
-> unacceptable for exercising Christians to work on Sundays => HR
-> migration of people to cities => harder to find suitable workforce
in the countryside
External analysis – Socio-cultural factors ->

building appropriate internal facilities in the workplace
- Mobility, life-style changes, career expectations (HR concerns)
-> more women looking after their careers => HR policies
- Demographics - distribution of wealth in the society; rising
affluence (i.e. abundance of material wealth); greater disparities
(inequalities) in income levels (middle-class, upper-middle classes)
External analysis – Socio-cultural factors ->

brain tanks for R&D
External analysis – Socio-cultural factors ->
PEST(LE)
• Consumer behavior
- savings rates, preferences for branded/unbranded products;
perception of media
- e.g. if customary to live on credit => greater qty of loans offered
by banks => stronger demand for higher wages => higher
expected wage expenditure
=> greater consumption of FMCGs - OPPORTUNITY
=> decline in long-term investment – real estate, cars - THREAT
=> emergence of fads - OPPORTUNITY
External analysis – Socio-cultural factors ->
PEST(LE)
• Attitudes towards upper management and work in general
- Hofstede Framework for Assessing Cultures
- i.e. power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, quantity vs.
quality of life, uncertainty avoidance, long vs. short-term
orientation
- e.g. buy-out of an EU-based company by a Japanese corp. =>
precise instructions to be followed literally => clashes (THREAT)
• Increased number of temporary workers
- more/less common to opt for temporary workforce
- e.g. employment of expats from economically unstable countries

Michael Porter’s 5 Forces
Industry analysis – Porter’s 5 (6?)
forces
Threat of new entrants
• Barriers to entry:
- economies of scale
- product differentiation
- capital requirements
- switching costs
- access to distribution channels
- cost disadvantages independent of size
- government policy
Industry analysis – Porter’s 5 (6?)
forces
Rivalry among existing firms
• Rivalry related to:
- number of competitors
- rate of industry growth
- produce or service characteristics
- amount of fixed costs
- capacity
- height of exit barriers
- diversity of rivals
Industry analysis – Porter’s 5 (6?)
forces
Threat of substitute products (goods/services)
• Products - satisfy the very same need as their direct substitutes
• Although they appear to be different
• If switching costs are low => strong effect on an industry
Relative power of stakeholders
•
•
•
•
Labor unions
Governments
Shareholders
Banks …
Industry analysis – Porter’s 5 (6?)
forces
Bargaining power of buyers
• Buyers are powerful when:
- they purchase large proportion of seller’s products
- they are capable of integrating backward
- there are many alternative suppliers
- switching to other suppliers is not costly
- the product purchased is NOT important to the final quality/price of
buyer’s products
- the product purchased accounts for a substantial %age of buyer’s costs
- they earn low profits
Industry analysis – Porter’s 5 (6?)
forces
Bargaining power of suppliers
• Suppliers are powerful when:
- Suppliers’ industry is dominated by a few players selling to many buyers
- Their products are unique
- Their products have high switching costs
- Substitutes are hardly available or not at all
- They can integrate forward and compete directly w/current customers
- The goods made/sold by them to buyers constitute only a small portion
of suppliers’ total product portfolio
Industry analysis – Porter’s 5 (6?)
forces
Air-travel industry
• Rivalry among industry players
- Airbus vs. Boeing (vs. ATR, Tupolev)
• Threat of new entrants
- severe regulations
- large capital investment
- sophisticated supplier and support industries
- highly skilled labor
- zero/negative profits during an extended start-up phase
- China/Russia/Japan or … ? may encourage a subsidized entry into market
of their own national company
Air-travel industry
• Bargaining power of buyers
- limited # of traditional and low cost airlines; leasing companies
=> considerable & growing power b/c of decreased # of orders for new
aircraft
- they have low switching costs -> Boeing is willing & able to offer better
price &/or service than Airbus to steal orders from Airbus
- low cost airlines – order aircraft w/basic equipment easily to be
produced by either of 2 manufacturers
Air-travel industry
• Bargaining power of suppliers
- engine manufacturers – crucial for aircraft manufacturers
- gradually undergoing consolidation
- non-existent substitutes due to certification
requirements (high reliability/efficiency)
=> strong bargaining power weakened by shrinking military market
to which they also supply
• Threat of substitutes
- high-speed trains (Germany, France) traveling between points falling into
air-travel network => lower demand for air-travel alternative
- automobile industry – cars, highway network in EU, comfort (A/C)
- IT – e.g. skype conference calls => no need to meet physically in 1 place
Air-travel industry
• Relative power of stakeholders
• Banks – loans to aircraft manufacturers backed up by long-term contracts
w/airlines, governments, renting companies ……
• Suppliers, labor unions, international relations in the defense sector …
