SPEET Forces
Social environment includes the demographics and cultural dimensions that govern the relevant
entrepreneurial behavior. The structure, social status, and dynamics of the population at large, as well
as the people’s beliefs, tastes, mores, customs, and traditions dictate the major parameters of market
behavior.
Political environment defines the governance system of the country or the local area of business. It
includes all the laws, rules, and regulations on allowable and disallowable business practices.
Economic environment is mainly driven by supply and demand forces. It is the same factor that drives
the interest and foreign exchange rates to fluctuate with the movement of the market forces.
Ecological environment includes all natural resources and the ecosystem that defines the habitat of man,
animals, plants, and minerals.
Technological environment makes or breaks competing participants in any industry. New scientific and
technological discoveries often lead to the launch and commercialization of new products with superior
attributes or to rendering the old ones obsolete.
