The PESTEL analysis

PESTEL is an acronym which means Political – Economic – Sociological – Technological – Ecological – Legal. This acronym is, therefore, a mnemonic to remind you of the different types of factors that can influence your market.
The PESTEL analysis will, therefore, consist of evaluating the effect of these factors on your market, knowing that they are all beyond your control.

  11. The economic dimension: it
    concerns the organisation of
    work in the company and the
    working conditions of employees.
    It is mainly characterised
    nowadays by the globalisation of
    markets. The WTO was created
    to extend the scope of free trade
    to new areas through the
    opening of the negotiations, and
    it must ensure that these trade
    flows are consistent.
