LO3
Positive and negative influence/impact the macro environment
In order to identify positive and negative influence of macro environment Pestle Analysis
can be applied. Following is Pestle analysis of M&S-
Political- This environment consist of political elements and their impact on M&S. Political
relations between countries and political stability of the country in which M&S operates play a
very important role in success of M&S (Shtal and et.al., 2018). This has been negatively
influenced by Brexit. Because relation of UK with EU countries have been negatively affected.
This also involves policies of different government for international organisations and markets
and protectionist policies of government have a negative impact on M&S operations. However
government with liberal policies is a positive impact as it is easy to operate with such policies.
Economical- This is another important environment in macro environment of M&S. Economic
elements involve cost, price, interest and mainly factors affecting economic policies of M&S.
Digitalisation and technology has had positive impact on production as consumption, because for
business as well as for customers it has become very easy to connect with each other. However,
increasing cost of operation is a negative influence on M&S. But emerging BRICs markets are
also an opportunity and positive influence on M&S.
Social- Social environmentconsists of factors that are related to customers of the company. With
help of technology it has become easy for M&S to reach to potential markets with less effort
however, changing social power and customer tastes have significant impact on M&S (Rastogi

and Trivedi, 2016). This is both positive as well as negative, because it depends on the ability of
organisation to cope with changes.
Technological- Technological environment has become very important and centre of success of
the organisation. This involves impact of social technology and this has made very positive
influence on M&S, by opening several opportunities. Digital revolution also has made positive
impact on production and consumption and has made positive impact on the growth of
organisations.
Legal- This is another environment and this environment consists of different regulations and
laws that govern and regulate companies and their functioning. Along with general laws and
regulations affecting every organisation, it involves laws and regulations of cyber security, data
protection laws that influence M&S. This is because M&S also operates on online platforms and
this is why collect significant data of customers and regarding identity as well as regarding their
financial data and this is why it is important for M&S to ensure security of data and information.
Other than this, social technologies and their application also requires following these
regulations in order to collect data of customers and rightly target market.
Environmental- Increasing social consciousness has significant impact on organisations and
their practices. Organisations now are requiring following environment regulations in order to
ensure that they can attract customers (Vallati and Grassi, 2019). Organisations are increasingly
focusing on ethical and sustainable growth and this has both positive and negative impacts on
organisation. This means that in long term they can provide benefit to organisations, but
adherence to ethical and sustainable practices might increase cost and affect productivity of
M&S.
LO4

weaknesses.
Swot Analysis
Strengths: They provide excellent and high- quality products and services. they have large
market share in retail sector of UK (Pratomo, 2019). They focus strongly upon enhance customer
experience by providing large variety of products with high quality in lower price. They have

approximately 1500 stores present globally. Provision of wide variety of products directly help
their customers to get huge variety of products to choose from.
Weaknesses: They are too much dependent upon market of UK due to which they become
vulnerable to UK market. They have a negative brand reputation of a company that product
products for old age people. Due to this, it has developed bad publicity of a non-trendy store.
They rely more on manual working rather than focusing upon adopting advance technology as a
result their overall operational cost increase.
Opportunities: focusing upon expanding their online business can directly help them in
increasing their sales and profitability globally. Focusing upon developing their clothing market
according to different age group of their customers is another opportunity to expand their market
and profitability and attract a greater number of customers. It can also be said that by reshaping
their clothing segment can help them in gaining competitive advantage. They can also focus
upon adopting new and advance technology for reducing their operational cost and enhancing
their overall productivity (Pratomo, 2019). So, it can be said that internationalization can help
them in increasing their global presence will help them to attract more number of customers,
enhance their sales, revenue which will eventually help them in enhancing their success changes.
Threats: Increasing competition in this retain sector in one of the major threats for marks and
Spencer. Main competitors of marks and Spencer are: Tesco, Sainsbury, Zara, Gap and many
more. Relying more upon market of UK is one of the main threats because impact of economy of
UK can directly impact overall profitability of M&S.

SWOT and TWOS matrix can directly help Marks and Spencer to identify their man strengths
and weakness and develop strategies for the same.
How strengths and weaknesses interrelate with external macro factors
Strengths are weaknesses are internal to M&S and have significant impact on decision-
making of the organisation. This mainly influence decision-making when determining what
opportunities are there that M&S can utilise and what threats are there in external environment
that M&S should be aware of and make strategies to avoid and reduce its impact on organisation
and its operations. As external environment outlines that M&S has opportunity for expansion in
forms of BRICs company can utilise its existing image for the purpose of expansion in these
countries (Aslam, Rehman and Asad, 2020). Other than this, M&S also have other strengths that
company can utilise in order to expand its business in other countries and this mainly based on
decision-making of the company which strategy and strength they will utilise in order to expand
its businesses. Further, social environment also have an element that is concerned with rapidly
changing customer taste and preferences and buying behaviour of the company. Concerned with
this, company requires to take decision so that this can become an opportunity rather than threat
for M&S. This means that M&S has strength in form of wide range of product availability and
also in form of enhancing customer experience and this strength can help in dealing with rapidly
changing customer behaviour. In order to increase and expand business, e-commerce is also an
opportunity and company requires determining what method they can select for the purpose of
expansion. As M&S is highly dependent on UK market BRICs is an opportunity for the company
to reduce their dependency on UK market. This means that emerging countries have significant
opportunity for M&S for the purpose of business as well as for the purpose of manufacturing
products of M&S.

However, using the capacity M&S can develop new products in order to reduce and
remove their image as products for the old age. It is mainly dependent on decisions of the
company as how they will change their image in order to make it positive and attract customers
with brand image. This means whether they want to create an image of premium products of
high quality or average price products with high quality. This all mainly depends on decisions of
M&S and what kind of opportunity they identify in their external environment in social factor of
the environment. Competition is increasing in retail sector and in such situation it is important
that M&S has strong competitive advantage which is possible by changing its clothing portfolio
and attracting new age customers and millennial customers (Matsuo, 2020). By adding this on
their online services can give significant advantage to M&S because millennial customers are
increasing getting more engaged on online platforms rather than shopping at stores. Another
opportunity that is in there for M&S is using technology and as retail organisations are focusing
on improving and enhancing quality of in-store experience of customers. M&S can also utilise
this opportunity and enhance its performance.
This means that in order to utilise opportunity and reduce impact of threats it is important
that right strengths are used by the organisation.
