In this episode of Business To You, Lars talks about the PESTEL Analysis (formerly known as PEST factors) and how to use it properly. PESTEL is a framework that helps analyzing the Macro Environment of organizations and is often used when starting a new business or when entering a foreign market. PESTEL stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal factors. Together these factors form a great representation of the general external environment of a business.
