UNDERSTANDING EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

• The external environment refers to


the factors and forces outside the
organization that can impact its
performance and success.
• These factors and forces can be
organizations, entities, people, or
the general environment.
• These factors operate on a MICRO
or MACRO Level.
• There are different tools to analyze
each factor for both the micro and
the macro environment levels.

MICRO EXTERNAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

• Micro factors are more industry-specific


and directly related to the day-to-day
operations of a company.
• These factors can often be influenced
or managed by the company.
• Micro factors include suppliers,
customers, competitors, and other
stakeholders.
• They have a direct impact on a
company's ability to serve its customers.
• Examples include supplier relationships,
customer preferences, competitor
strategies, and regulatory changes
within the industry.
Macro Environment Example for Amazon

Political Factors:
•Changes in international trade policies and tariffs can affect Amazon's global
supply chain. For instance, increased tariffs on imports from China could raise
the cost of goods sold on Amazon, forcing the company to adjust pricing or
seek alternative suppliers.
Economic Factors:
•A global recession could lead to reduced consumer spending, impacting
Amazon's sales. During such times, Amazon might focus on promoting
essential goods and offer more discounts or flexible payment options to attract
budget-conscious customers.
Sociocultural Factors:
•There is a growing consumer preference for fast and reliable delivery services.
Amazon continues to invest in its Prime membership program, offering faster
shipping and exclusive benefits to meet these customer expectations.
Macro Environment Example for Amazon
Technological Factors:
•Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning enable
Amazon to enhance its recommendation algorithms, improving the customer
shopping experience by suggesting products more accurately based on
browsing and purchase history.
Environmental Factors:
•Increasing concern about carbon footprints and sustainability leads Amazon to
pledge net-zero carbon by 2040. The company invests in electric delivery
vehicles, sustainable packaging, and renewable energy projects to meet this
goal.
Legal Factors:
•Antitrust investigations and regulations in various countries can impact
Amazon's operations. Compliance with these regulations requires legal
adjustments and may limit certain business practices, such as exclusive
partnerships or pricing strategies.
MACRO EXTERNAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

• Macro factors are large-scale or broad


forces that affect not only a company but
also other companies within the industry.
• These factors are often out of direct control
of the company.
• Macro factors include political, economic,
sociocultural, technological,
environmental, and legal factors (PESTEL).
• They tend to affect the business indirectly
but can have a significant long-term
impact.
• Examples include changes in tax policies,
inflation rates, demographic shifts,
technological advancements, and climate
change.
Micro Environment Example for Amazon
• Customers: Amazon's customers expect a wide variety of products at
competitive prices, along with fast and reliable delivery.
• Competitors: Competing with other e-commerce platforms like eBay and
Walmart, Amazon focuses on differentiating itself through superior
customer service, extensive product offerings, and innovations like
Amazon Prime and Alexa.
• Suppliers: Amazon works with a vast network of suppliers and third-party
sellers. Maintaining good relationships with these suppliers ensures a
steady flow of products and helps Amazon offer competitive prices and
diverse product options.
• Intermediaries: Amazon uses various intermediaries, such as fulfillment
centers and delivery partners. Efficient management of these
intermediaries is crucial for maintaining quick delivery times and customer
satisfaction.
• Publics: Public perception and media coverage can significantly impact
Amazon's brand.
MICRO ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS TOOLS

Porter's Five Forces Analysis: This tool is designed to


analyze the competitive environment in which a
business operates. It examines the bargaining power
of suppliers and buyers, the threat of new entrants,
the threat of substitute products or services, and the
intensity of competitive rivalry.
Market Research: This includes a variety of techniques
such as surveys, interviews, and focus groups, which
can help a business understand its customers,
competitors, and market trends.
Stakeholder Analysis: This tool helps businesses
understand the needs and expectations of various
stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, and
employees.
Amazon Example
Competitive Rivalry: High: Amazon faces intense competition from other e-
commerce platforms like eBay, Walmart, Alibaba
Threat of New Entrants: Moderate to Low: While the e-commerce industry has
relatively low barriers to entry in terms of initial setup costs, achieving the scale and
logistics efficiency of Amazon is very challenging.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
•Low: Amazon has a significant advantage over its suppliers due to its massive scale
and ability to source products from a global supplier base.
Bargaining Power of Buyers: High: Customers have significant power because they
have many alternatives to choose from and can easily compare prices and services.
To maintain customer loyalty, Amazon focuses on providing excellent customer
service, competitive pricing, and added benefits like Amazon Prime.
Threat of Substitutes: Moderate: While there are substitutes for some of the
products sold on Amazon (such as physical stores, other online retailers, or
alternative digital services), the comprehensive ecosystem Amazon offers (including
streaming services, cloud computing, and smart devices) creates a level of
convenience and integration that can be difficult for substitutes to match.
MACRO ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS TOOLS
PESTELAnalysis: This tool allows businesses to
identify Political, Economic, Sociocultural,
Technological, Environmental, and Legal factors
that might affect their operations. It's a
comprehensive tool for understanding the macro
environment.
Scenario Analysis: This tool involves identifying
different scenarios based on the possible future
states of macro environmental factors. It helps
businesses to prepare for various potential future
situations.
SWOT Analysis: While SWOT (Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis is
used for both internal and external environmental
analysis, the Opportunities and Threats
components can be particularly useful in
analyzing the macro environment.
STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS

• A systematic process used to identify


individuals, groups or organizations that have
a stake in a project or business decision, and
to understand their interests, influences, and
power dynamics.
• It is used in project management, business
administration, and public policy
decision-making.
• It helps to ensure that stakeholders' interests
are considered and addressed, reducing
potential conflicts and improving project
success rate.
• It is beneficial in strategic planning, change
management, business development, and
corporate social responsibility initiatives.
STAKEHOLDER MAPPING/GRID

• A visual tool used to group stakeholders


based on their level of interest and influence.
The grid typically has four quadrants
representing low/high interest and low/high
influence.
• It helps in identifying key stakeholders and
planning engagement strategies.

• Can also be referred to as Power/Interest Grid

STAKEHOLDER SALIENCE MODEL

• Identifies stakeholders based on three


attributes: power, legitimacy, and urgency.
• Stakeholders are then categorized into seven
types:
✔ Dormant - ‫ﻏﯾر ﻧﺷطﺔ‬
✔ Discretionary - ‫اﺧﺗﯾﺎرﯾﺔ‬
✔ Demanding - ‫ﻣﺗطﻠﺑﺔ‬
✔ Dominant - ‫ﻣﺳﯾطرة‬
✔ Dangerous - ‫ﺧطﯾرة‬
✔ Dependent - ‫ﺗﺎﺑﻌﺔ‬
✔ Definitive - ‫ﺣﺎﺳﻣﺔ‬
STAKEHOLDERS SALIENCE MODEL

Urgency/ ‫طﺎرئ – اﺳﺗﻌﺟﺎل‬: This refers to the degree to which the


stakeholder's claims or needs require immediate attention.
Urgency can be influenced by time sensitivity (the extent
to which managerial delay in attending to the claim or
relationship is unacceptable to the stakeholder) and
criticality (the importance of the stakeholder’s claim to the
stakeholder).

Example: A group of customers demanding immediate


product safety improvements due to a recent defect
constitutes an urgent stakeholder group.
STAKEHOLDERS SALIENCE MODEL

Power/ ‫ﺳﻠطﺔ‬: This is the extent to which a stakeholder has


the ability to influence the decisions or actions of an
organization. Power can come from a variety of sources,
including control over resources, knowledge, or strategic
positioning.

Example: Major shareholders in a company, who have


voting rights and can influence company decisions, are
considered powerful stakeholders.
STAKEHOLDERS SALIENCE MODEL

Legitimacy/ ‫ﺷرﻋﯾﺔ‬: This refers to the perception that the


actions of a stakeholder are appropriate within some
socially constructed system of norms, values, beliefs, and
definitions. In other words, it's about the validity of the
stakeholder's relationship with the organization.

Example: An environmental regulatory agency has


legitimacy because it operates under laws and regulations
that society has agreed upon.
Stakeholder Categories
1.Latent Stakeholders:
1. Dormant (Power only): These stakeholders have power but lack legitimacy and urgency. They don’t
require immediate attention but have the potential to become more salient if their power is activated.
2. Discretionary (Legitimacy only): These stakeholders have legitimate claims but lack power and urgency.
They are typically not prioritized unless the organization decides to act out of goodwill.
3. Demanding (Urgency only): These stakeholders have urgent claims but lack power and legitimacy. They
are often seen as annoying but not dangerous.
2.Expectant Stakeholders:
1. Dominant (Power and Legitimacy): These stakeholders have both power and legitimacy, giving them
significant influence over the organization. They are often engaged in corporate governance.
2. Dangerous (Power and Urgency): These stakeholders have power and urgent claims but lack legitimacy.
They might resort to coercive or illegitimate means to achieve their goals.
3. Dependent (Legitimacy and Urgency): These stakeholders have legitimate and urgent claims but lack
power. They depend on others (e.g., other stakeholders or the organization itself) to advocate on their
behalf.
3.Definitive Stakeholders (Power, Legitimacy, and Urgency):
1. These stakeholders possess all three attributes, making them highly salient. They demand immediate and
full attention from the organization, and their needs are prioritized above others.
Stakeholder Analysis for Apple
1. Latent Stakeholders
•Dormant (Power only):
• Potential Major Investors: Wealthy individuals or entities with significant financial power who are not currently
invested in Apple but could become influential if they choose to invest heavily in the future.
•Discretionary (Legitimacy only):
• Local Community Organizations: Groups focused on community welfare where Apple has its offices and
factories. They have legitimate claims related to local development and corporate social responsibility but lack
power and urgency in influencing Apple directly.
•Demanding (Urgency only):
• Individual Activists: Activists concerned about issues like electronic waste or labor practices in Apple's supply
chain. They have urgent claims but lack significant power and legitimacy to influence Apple on their own.
2. Expectant Stakeholders
•Dominant (Power and Legitimacy):
• Board of Directors: They have both power and legitimacy in influencing the strategic direction and major
decisions of the company.
• Major Institutional Investors: Entities like Vanguard or BlackRock that hold significant shares in Apple, giving
them substantial power and legitimate interest in the company’s performance.
•Dangerous (Power and Urgency):
• Regulatory Authorities: Government bodies that can impose fines or regulatory changes. They have the power to
impact Apple’s operations immediately and often deal with urgent issues like antitrust laws or privacy regulations.
•Dependent (Legitimacy and Urgency):
• Apple’s Overseas Factory Workers: Workers in factories operated by suppliers like Foxconn have legitimate and
urgent concerns about working conditions but lack the power to influence Apple directly without external support
from NGOs or media coverage.
3. Definitive Stakeholders
•Definitive (Power, Legitimacy, and Urgency):
• Customers: Apple’s customers have significant power (through purchasing decisions), legitimate claims (as the
end-users of Apple’s products), and urgency (expectation for new product launches, software updates, and
customer service).
• Senior Management: They have power (decision-making authority), legitimacy (corporate governance role), and
urgency (responsibility for company performance and strategic direction).

ECOSYSTEM MAPPING
What is an Ecosystem?
• In a broad sense, an ecosystem refers to a
community of living organisms (plants,
animals, microbes) in conjunction with the
nonliving components of their environment
(like air, water, and mineral soil), interacting
as a system.
• A business or industry ecosystem is a
strategic concept that describes the
structure and dynamics of a complex
network of interconnected businesses,
services, and stakeholders that co-evolve
capabilities around a new innovation.
Within this system, companies collaborate
and compete to provide products and
services.
• Ecosystems can be developed for
industries, sectors and with smaller or
smaller or larger scopes,

ECOSYSTEM MAPPING
ECOSYSTEM MAPPING

• Ecosystem Mapping is a strategic tool used to visualize


and understand the dynamic relationships between
various entities in a business ecosystem.
• An ecosystem could include a wide range of entities such
as suppliers, competitors, customers, regulators, and other
stakeholders.
• The goal of ecosystem mapping is to identify opportunities
and threats, understand interdependencies, and
strategize for success within that ecosystem.
ECOSYSTEM MAPPING

Ecosystem maps can be used to:


• Identify key players in the ecosystem and their
relationships.
• Understand the flow of value (e.g., goods, services,
information) in the ecosystem.
• Identify gaps, opportunities, and threats in the ecosystem.
• Develop strategies for influencing or adapting to the
ecosystem dynamics.

ECOSYSTEM VS. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPER

• A smart business developer keeps an eagle eye on their


specific sector/industry ecosystem
• A business developer can turn insights from an external market
and external environment analysis into actionable strategies.
• The specific plans would depend on the business's context,
resources, and objectives.
• Keeping an eye on the external environment can increase
profitability or mitigate serious risks.

Let’s look at some possible scenarios!


ECOSYSTEM VS. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPER

Scenario: Market Expansion Opportunity

A business developer has identified an untapped market


segment in their analysis of the external environment.

Action Plan: Develop a market entry strategy for this new


segment. This might include creating tailored products or
services, setting competitive pricing, developing a targeted
marketing campaign, and establishing distribution
channels.
ECOSYSTEM VS. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPER

Scenario: Technological Advancement

The business developer notices an emerging technology


trend talked about a lot on specialized forums that could
significantly enhance their product or service.

Action Plan: Initiate a project to integrate this new


technology into the company's offerings. This might involve
partnering with a tech company, investing in R&D, or
acquiring a startup that specializes in this technology.
ECOSYSTEM VS. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPER

Scenario: Regulatory Change

An unforeseen change in regulations opens up new


opportunities for the business or poses a potential threat to its
operations or outreach.

Action Plan: If the change is beneficial, the business developer


might plan to capitalize on it before competitors do, perhaps by
fast-tracking related offerings. If the change poses a risk, they
might focus on ensuring the business complies with the new
regulations and lobby for favorable conditions if appropriate.
ECOSYSTEM VS. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPER

Scenario: Increasing Competition

The market analysis reveals an increase in competition in


the company's industry.

Action Plan: The business developer could propose


strategies to strengthen the company's competitive
advantage. This could involve improving product quality,
enhancing customer service, investing in branding, or
differentiating the company's offerings.
ECOSYSTEM VS. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPER

Scenario: Economic Downturn

The external analysis shows signs of an impending


economic downturn which could affect the company's
sales.

Action Plan: Develop a contingency plan to maintain


business stability. This might include cost-cutting measures,
diversifying revenue streams, strengthening relationships
with key customers, and improving financial management.
