PASTEL stand for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal.

These factors are used to describe an analysis that is used to determine the risks and opportunities in particular market.

Political factors: these factors are directly related with government because if company wants to stay stable in the market or if they want to enter to new markets government will be the first partner whom they need to deal with. In Ionians case it very important because it is multinational company and every nation has their different rules. To achieve success they are dealing with government instability, rules and regulations such as quotas (limit to imported goods), tariff and tax charges by working “hand to hand” with authorities to get more benefit.

Monika moved one of its main manufacturing lands to India, when they are inside the country they started to follow to the rules and regulations which are set by the government such as Health and Safety regulations in order to operate as efficiently and effectively. One of the main reasons for entering Indian market was its doubled mobile phone users “from 50 million to the result of competition are now focused on that type of products. But despite this there is a more government support for the businesses in India. Firstly Indian Government is simplifying its regulations and liberalizing their market.

Secondly government has issued unified licenses to operators.

At the result of this operators can offer wider products to consumers. Thirdly lowering interconnection charges has direct influence on mobile service and fixed to mobile and mobile to mobile services will get huge benefit. Economic factors are related to production and consumption of services and goods. Economic system is so powerful it can control what and how organization need to produce and which category of customers should use that product. In this factor Monika need to deal with economic practices such as inflation rate, exchange and employment rate and income of society.

These things are very important for financial safety and for future planning. It good for Monika to be a multinational supplier but the previously mentioned practices also will be different. Nowadays Monika has a problem with it consumption there is less demand for Ionians phone compare 2008-09, peoples changed their behavior or habits. In the first quarter of 2011 the Ionians semaphore market share was 22. 8%, in the second quarter it fell to 22. 1% but in 2010 it was around 40%.

At the result of financial crisis in Europe there is unequal wealth distribution in I-J and peoples are becoming more selective with their choice of mobile phones.

They are looking for other factors also rather than achieving the most basic user needs and they are now more concerned about price. Source (http://velocity.

In terms of Western market they need to understand those aspects and need to give to market most up to date phones.

Western market especially I-J market is considered about innovation and fashion icon.

There is huge demand Semaphore industry because of social trend in today’s society. Monika need to make sure that their model must be competitive in the market in order to survive. Http://www. Mbabane. Com/business-analysis/pest-analysis-of-Monika/ Technological factors: company now introduced ALUMNI series for the lower end of the market where Monika has been strong with its features. According to Steven ELOPE Ionians president and chief executive they will push the price of Windows Phones down market, with affordable prices.

The partnership with Microsoft will allow company to use Americas SO system in Finnish phones. Environmental factors are obviously related to environment. There are some challenges for Monika the first is I-J climate act. The act has a binding target to reduce emission by 80 % by 2050. Act says industries need to reduce energy demand, use more efficient processes and install more renewable energy connection. The second challenge is Rupee’s green concern.

This concern creating new types of taxes and commodity and raw material prices are unpredictable.

The some taxes are directly effecting to the supply chain of the management. Http://www. Prospers. Com/essays/Pastel-Analysis-Uk-Environment/ business and each company tries to be protected to ensure that business does not lose anything.

When they announce their innovations it is vital to protect it from copying. Competitors are not only threat for the company there is a lot of thing which company need to make sure such as different kind of laws all over the world including Health, Safety and trade laws.
