Business analysis 7
If we talk about weaknesses, then as per the reviews of the students, it has been noticed that
the organization is poor in communication and technology and internet signals do not come
properly into the campus and due to that half of the recorded lectures doesn’t work. Some
students think that they are really expensive as compared to other educational universities but at
the same time it has a brand name and it is charging for its brands (Minakshi, et al., 2016).
3. External analysis: External analysis includes PESTEL analysis that
consists of various features affecting an organization.
Porter six force model analysis
1. Determinant of supplier power: University employ about 4,000 staff and pays high salary
package and the infrastructure of the campus is attractive thus the university is at more strong
position (Babic, et al. 2016).
2. Determinant of buyer power: Number of facilities as good infrastructure, labs for research,
experienced and skilled professor all these facilities attract students not only regional but all over
the globe to get enrolled in the university.

sector thus there is always a pressure for the university to provide excellent education with
reasonable fees.
4. Threat of substitution: Since the university is offering innovative and new programme for the
students thus the university is always on the brighter side and also the university is engaged in
the research in each faculty to improve the education level.
5. Threat of new entry: Since new entrant are being entered in this sector at very fast pace it
becomes difficult for the university to maintain good education level with optimum chargeable
fees (McCauley, et al. 2016).
6. Technology: This is the today’s scenario which affects the education level. Now a day’s new
programme are being introduced by the university to provide easy and much improved
way of teaching students.

Business analysis 8
PESTEL Analysis
Political: Since the university is public research university but the decision regarding the
education is taken by the university which means that there is much less interface at government
level. An organization operates in a country and there are some government rules and regulations
for the country so same applies to the University of Wollongong (Shaw, 2015).
Economic: The university is seeking fund for expansion of its campus from New South Wales
Government so there are chances that there will be change in the university with the change in
the government. Economic factors like exchange rates, deflation, and inflation creates an
important impact on the business of the organization as economic factors affect the Budget of the
universities. There are many things apart from studies for which an organization is responsible
for. It also affects the income of the people (Irimia, et al. 2017).
Technological: The university is providing online education to students since the technology
keeps on changing so the organisation needs to update with change in the technology. Around
30, 00 students are getting education in this university for their graduation and post-graduation
studies not only locally but also from international level thus the university is at their best level...
Economic Factors- Environmental factors are not as much important in this case as educational
institutions do not affect with the change in environment as studies and education does not have
any season
Legislative: Since the university is getting fund by the government for the campus expansion so
there are chances with the change in the government there are chances there will be change in the
funding system. University of Wollongong has collaboration with many government entities so it
is really easy for the same to follow the government policies and procedures (Koll, Parameshwar
and Shankarappa, 2016).
Technological factors- The technology that University of Wollongong is one of the best
technologies. It has proper research centres that enable students to work with latest technology.
Social factors are basically related to the society so in the case of University of Wollongong, the
society in which it operates should be financially strong according to its fee structure.

Appendix
Self-reflection
It has been observed that with the valuable teaching activities of University of
Wollongong and installing new process system to bring international experts and teaching
process to make student learning better and effective, this University of Wollongong will make
learning of students effective. The main difficult issues which I have faced in order to take
admission in this college are related to finance and better career options. I have felt that the fees
and charges to study in University of Wollongong is comparatively high. Me being boy from
middle class family has faced money issues in my further studies. In order to take admission in
this college I had to apply for education loan in various banks. However, If I undertake the
opportunities given by University of Wollongong, there are many opportunities, basically
involves in research and development department, indulged in extracurricular activities and sport
competitions, so if I wanted to make my career better and effective then I had to can education
related to other fields too in this University of Wollongong. The main mission of my family and
me is to develop high quality of teaching and research with set of value adopted and to
developed and refined their graduate throughout my learning so that I could impart my
knowledge to other students as well. I encountered my finance issue by taking loan and
scholarship from the University. After evaluating the financial performance of University of
Wollongong, I have analyzed that this university needs to make changes in its operating and
financial business performance in effective manner. For instance, reducing the money deployed
in its operating activities may increase the profitability and capital employed by company. In
addition to this, University of Wollongong needs to reduce the overall cost of capital as well with
a view to increase the overall efficiency of business. It is considered that if company could
manage its business in determined approach then it will increase the student‘s satisfaction and its
business functioning at large. In addition to this, if I were to invest in this University then I
would wait for the time when this University will reduce its complexity of business and increase
its turnover. I would not suggest my family to invest big amount of capital in its business
functioning. However, if they want to invest their capital in this University then they could do it

Business analysis 23
for long term. I consider that if investment is made for long term then it will surely create value
on the investment. The main strategy which should be followed to make effective level of
