  7. PEST(EL) Analysis of the External Environment • PEST Analysis is a simple but important and widely-used tool by business leaders worldwide to build their vision of the future. • Ensure that what you are doing is aligned positively with the forces of change that are affecting our world. By taking advantage of change, you are much more likely to be successful than if your activities oppose it. • Helps avoid taking action that is condemned to failure for reasons beyond your control. • Particularly useful when starting to operate in a new country or region. Using it helps you break free of unconscious assumptions, and helps you quickly adapt to the realities of the new environment.

We have talked about 10,000 Americans turning 50 every day for years and combined with a decline in the birth rate, 40% of the overall U.S. population is over 50. • In 1900, just 3.5 million Americans were 65 years of age. By 1998, that number grew to 35 million and projections are that by 2025 that number will be 70 million. • And it has been further projected that by the year 2030, there could be more Americans over 80 than there are under the age of eight!
