    PEST analysis

    INTRODUCTION:-

    PEST analysis is concerned with the environmental influences on a business.The PEST stands for the Political, Economic, Social and Technological issues that could affect

    the strategic development of a business.

    Identifying PEST influences is a useful way of summarizing the external environment in which a

    business works.

    Definitions and importance in different perspectives

    The constituents of PEST can be considered as macro-environmental factors and its usefulness

    lies in the assumption that the success of a particular organisation or management solution

    cannot be understood without having the information relevant to the specific businessenvironment (Buchanan and Gibb, 1998).

    Business environment could be defined as all relevant physical and social factors outside an

    organization that are considered into decision-making process (Duncan, 1972).

    According to Ward and Rivani (2005) PEST analysis assumes that specific external and indirect

    circumstances that characterize the business environment are able to influence organizational

    capacity to produce value. Hence, PEST analysis provides a satellite view to assess the

    external environment (Ward and Rivani, 2005).

    PEST analysis Use

    PEST has been conventionally used in two different ways: first, to analyze the position of a

    particular organization (e.g. Vrontis and Vignali, 2001) or industry sector (e.g. McManus et al.,

    2007: 19-36) within a particular business environment; second, to analyze the viability of general

    management solutions in a business environment (e.g. ESCWA, 2005).

    POPULATION GROWTH RATE,

    Population growth rate: 1.551% (2012 est.)

    Definition:The average annual percent change in the population, resulting from a surplus (or

    deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. The rate

    may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would

    be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e.g., schools,

    hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e.g., food, water, electricity), and jobs. Rapid population

    growth can be seen as threatening by neighboring countries.

    New expected investment of Coca Cola pakistan

    It was an announcement made so quietly that it did not even make the headlines: having

    already invested $172 million in Pakistan this past year, The Coca Cola Company one of

    the worlds largest beverage companies is planning on investing another $248 million in

    the country over the next two years.

    It may have something to do with the fact that Pakistanis are estimated to have spentapproximately Rs110 billion ($1.3 billion) on carbonated beverages in 2011, according to an

    analysis by The Express Tribunebased on figures compiled from industry sources. Coca Cola

    currently enjoys a 30% market share, second only to arch-rival PepsiCo.

    We see great potential in Pakistans future, which is why the company is investing significantly

    in upgrading infrastructure and adding value to allied industries, said Rizwan Khan, general

    manager for The Coca Cola Company in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

    The money will be spent on two new bottling plants, one each in Karachi and Multan, as well as

    investing in more coolers, which will be distributed amongst retailers to help with the companys

    retail sales efforts. Company officials were quick to point out that the investment is not simply

    the recycling of profits and cash flows from existing operations in Pakistan, but green-field

    foreign direct investment that will flow into the country over the next two years.

    The expansion plans come as rising demand makes it difficult for Coca Cola to keep pace with

    its existing production capacity in Karachi and Punjab. The new plants will follow the

    establishment of a Coca Cola facility, already completed in 2011, which manufactures Coke

    cans. Previously, Coca Cola used to import cans from its factories in other countries.
