PEST analysis is concerned with the environmental influences on a business.
The acronym stands for the Political, Economic, Social and Technological issues that could affect the strategic development of a business.
Identifying PEST influences is a useful way of summarising the external environment in which a business operates. However, it must be followed up by consideration of how a business should respond to these influences.
