PESTEL audit or audit if five forces



Ø  PESTLE is an analytical tool which considers external factors and helps you to think about their impacts 
Ø  Is a useful tool for understanding the “big picture” of the environment in which you are operating
Ø  By understanding your environment, you can take advantage of the opportunities and minimize the threats. 
Ø  This provides the context within which more detailed planning can take place to take full advantage of the opportunities that present themselves.

Political Factor
Political factors include government regulations and legal issues and define both formal and informal rules under which the firm must operate. Some examples include:
Ø  tax policy
Ø  employment laws
Ø  environmental regulations
Ø  trade restrictions and tariffs
Ø  political stability
Political factors of Nokia
Legal constraints (such as the G3 technology constraints that Nokia have to take into consideration) must be taken into account because many businesses aim to make a profit so they may be tempted to mislead their customers about prices, quality of products and the availability of their products. They may also try to cut expenditure by using lesser quality materials in their products (such as weaker materials for Nokia cases and batteries)
