2.2 PEST
POLITCAL ECONOMICAL SOCIAL TECHNOLOGICAL
Company Taxation is high in the EU. Will continue to be so
Cheaper production cost in the Asian markets, logistic challenges though
Increased demand for new solutions and marketing in EU and US market
Need for development of new solutions, which likely will lead to price competition
Instability in Asian markets, unrest, domestic disputes
Economies recovering from reccesion
Price-focused customers in the Asian market
Raw materials affect the price of new techs
Friction between countries: e.g. Sino-American relations. Likely escalation
Increased competition will lead to a slash in prices
Buying power stronger in the West, than China
Worrying result of test group trying out tech 2
Legislation protecting workers or raising production cost in the future
Euro is expected to still fall compared to a basket of other currencies
Appreciating Yuan will increase Chinese buying power
Higher profit margin from newly developed products
Increased employment figures for the coming years
Note: The Pest analysis shows that macroeconomic factors related to the construction of plants in Asia will be essential for the success of "Team Green". The factors being macroeconomic make them external to the company and largely uncontrollable l. Therefore, there is a considerable amount of risk investing in plants in Asia, but the gains are substantial. An in-depth look at the crucial issues is to be found in appendix A.
