.0 %acro Environment < "E#TE$ Aramewor
PESTEL stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technical, Environment
and Legislative. It is a strategic planning techni>ue that provides a useful framewor for
analyzing the environmental pressures on a team or an organization. "E#TE$ framewor
is considered as the best strategic e>uipment to measure business position and e!pected
relevant growth or decline in the maret and also gives the directions for possible profit
oriented business operation. This analysis wors as a useful tool in planning process
which may includeB organizational planning, strategic planning, financial planning,
mareting planning, product development planning and most importantly in research and
development reports. It is one of the effective tools that summarizes the scattered aspects
in one horizon, especially when entering into the new marets or when the purpose is to
go beyond the geographical boundaries. It helps the organization to eyeshot the
comprehensive realities of the new environment and its maret features which aid to
penetrate in it with most effective strategic concerns and groundings.

+s already mentioned, "E#TE$ describes five factors according to which
their impacts on the %alaysia based chocolate manufacturing firm is analyzed. These
e!ternal factors and their detailed analysis with respect to firm are e!plained below.
9.1 "olitical Aactor
"olitical factor relates to any changes in the government or its
policies. Every organization is obliged to do its business operation in
compliance with laws made by the government. These laws and rules should
be ac>uainted in the functions performed by the organization. The government
of every country varies with respect to its policy, stability, and ma?or
influences on the trade. In this regard, it is most appropriate for any
organization to conduct its operation and formulate its strategic plan in
accordance with the political theme of the country. Every strategic plan must
cater the importance of political impacts so that effective strategy is built to
mae proper alignment and the ris of pro?ect failures due to political
instability is already comprehended with alternative choices "orter, 144C2.
In the given scenario of chocolate manufacturing industry operating in
%alaysia has to analyze that the political stability in the e!isting country is
pretty much secured. The impacts of political influences on the sale of the
chocolate products and its manufacturing will be observed when this
organization will intervene in such practices that are not supported by the
government. )overnment can intervene in the operations which are not
environmental friendly and the issues of such lie are the impacts that
chocolate manufacturer will have to face from the political point of view. +s a
democratic political influence, the firm can grab ma!imum advantages in
7/25/2019 Berryl s Pestel Analysis
6/12
terms of low restrictions on the volume of production and sales scale. Dence,
there are political issues that may affect the industry and their impacts can
only be minimized if the company is already prepared to handle political
matters of %alaysia.
9. Economy Aactors
Economic conditions of the country is the most important factor of
analysis to any country because it decides the successful and failure of any
business profitability =orrell, 144C2. Every business wors on the core
concept of economics that e!plains the importance of demand and supply. If
the demand is low because of low economic growth and development then it
will destine the company to raise such amount of capital that will ultimately
meet the e!pected profit after covering the cost incurred. %aing buls of
production on ?ust forecasting without considering demand pattern of the
country may cause an irreparable loss to the company no matter how effective
was the strategy and planning.
This is due to the fact that economic influences of the country are
beyond the control of organization and it is bound to reflect bac in
accordance with economic situation. If the organization gives high concerns to
the economic choices, then it is beyond any nagging doubt that it can mae
successful profits even in the realm of recession. 3n the contrary,
organizations eeping aside these economic conditions cannot even survive in
economic boom. The economic conditions of any country act as an
opportunity as well as threat depending upon the strategic planning made by
the firm. If the firm gives high degree of concern to the economic choices
7/25/2019 Berryl s Pestel Analysis
7/12
even in the depressed economic state can mae its survival and the firms
ignoring them will be seen as going out of the maret.
It can be articulated with certitude ?ustification that %alaysian
chocolate industry is most developed and competitive sophisticated maret in
the world. The greatest share of maret is captivated by global chocolate
industries which include estle, %ars, and adbury. In the presence of such
global giants it is very difficult for new entrants to fetch their position in the
maret but the economic system and growth of chocolate maret is such that
even new entrants can entertain the customer with good profitability.
The chocolate maret should mae contracts with cocoa beans farmer
to apprehend the price fluctuations under control. The increase in advertising
and promotions cost will yield higher margin in sales and profitability because
of increased customers; interest in buying chocolate. The reason that argues
the increase in promotion is because chocolate is a lu!ury product and
customer will not buy until it is preceded with high promotion efforts in the
arena of maret where recession is e!pected to strie and profitability in the
lu!ury maret is at stae.
9.9 #ocial Aactors
The socio-cultural environment of the country has significant
impact on the demand of the product or services. This is the reason that
organizations mainly manufacture the products according to the taste and
demand pattern of the nation in which it is operating. Especially, in industries
where the taste and variety of the food products vary from country to country
according to the socio-cultural environment. %ost importantly, the
7/25/2019 Berryl s Pestel Analysis
8/12
consumption behaviour has significant impact on the product sales and in
reflection to this companies have to consider demographics changes of the
customer. ompanies have to select the specific demographic segment and
produce such goods which are in compliance with socio-economic norms of
that particular segment.
hocolate is a food product which has in depth relation with health
yielding the fact that chocolate industry has to penetrate in the maret with all
factors concerning health issues. In %alaysia, costumers are becoming more
health conscious and provide an opportunity for the chocolate maers to
diversify the product with different flavours and healthy ingredients. The
chocolate consumption is seen to have more consumption in young age
children group and teenagers. This reflects that the chocolate company has to
eep its focal point on the tastes of young customers and such modifications
in the chocolate that urges the consumers to give a taste at least once in a year.
Aor instance, chocolate in the form of bar has attained much more popularity
in %alaysian maret.
9.F Technology Aactor
+ company can achieve greater success and competitive advantage
in the maret by emphasizing on the aspects of technological factors as a
strategic concern "orter, 00F2. The increased pace of technology have
revolutionized the scope of marets. The emerging technologies are pro?ecting
new opportunities to the new marets and giving threats to the e!isting one
surfacing the fact to compensate with new technology has become optimum
intrinsic need %iddleton, 0092.

In the chocolate manufacturing company, technology can be the most
effective tool in product development, advertising, and promotion.
Technology can alter the process of production and can yield higher >uality
product at much less cost. It can also support in building a strong brand name
and product portfolio by adopting digital media to promote products. It is a
lu!ury food productB therefore, it demands a mass promotional effort to
persuade the customers to buy. Dence, the e!isting available technology in
%alaysia has much significant importance on the chocolate industry and the
industry has to adapt the concerned technology in order to captivate greater
maret share.
9. Environmental Aactor
Every organization operates in a society and it has certain
obligations with respect to its welfare. The overall environment is comprised
of many elements which organization has to cater before conducting its
business operations. In case of chocolate manufacturing firm operating in
%alaysia, has to analyze the climate factor of the environment as the greatest
opportunity. The climate of %alaysia is pretty much hot, giving high
importance to products which have cold impacts on human health and the
chocolate is the product which is more useful in hot weather in this regard.
#imilarly, there are other factors as well which the chocolate company has to
etch in its strategic decision maing out which corporate social responsibility
is the prior most to identify in the sense that manufacturing process and their
operations have least impacts on the society and on overall environment.

9.G $egal Aactor
It is a well nown fact that every organization has to
conduct its operation which compliance with the laws of the country. The
trade laws, rules and regulations direct all the companies to set their
pricing policy, production policy, and strategic policies according to the
country mercantile laws. The chocolate industry has to anticipate the
outcomes of their business operations in such a way that are in abidance
with the rules and regulations made by the government of the country.
$ie in %alaysia, there are set of general accepted rules and standards for
the safer and healthier food products which must be met in chocolate
products of the company. Ignoring such legal consideration can cause
irreparable harm to the industry and that should not be the practice by the
chocolate manufacturing company because %alaysian government does
not give fle!ibility to any size of industry which gives least consideration
to laws and regulations.
F.0 onclusion
hocolate is a lu!ury food product which can draw an important analysis from the
framewor of "E#TE$. In a nutshell, it can be said that "E#TE$ analysis is a useful
framewor to understand the e!ternal environment in which an organization operates.
The snapshot of this analysis is discussed with respect to chocolate manufacturing
company conducting its operation in %alaysia. +mong the si! factors, socio-cultural,
political and technological factors are the most important issues.
7/25/2019 Berryl s Pestel Analysis
11/12
The social-cultural impacts of the environment on chocolate industry are
important because it can be viewed as an opportunity as well as a threat to the industry.
+s a lu!ury food product, customers always have changing demand pattern in the tastes
of such lie products. The importance of political factor in chocolate industry is
considered because the production of cocoa been is an issue in most of the countries and
many government restricts the import of cocoa beans from some of the +frican countries
because of their child labour involved in producing cocoa.
The chocolate industry is mainly dependent upon the mil as the basic raw
material for manufacturing the products. The advancement in technology has introduced
such machines which are specifically made for miling cows in the most efficient and
hygienic manner. The pacaging of chocolate products is yet another dimension where
the use of technology can reduced many wastes. The modern trend of technology has
introduced such digital ways that can multiply the sales of chocolate in the country lie
%alaysia where the e!posure of media and technology is worthwhile.
