aspects and many more.

 Positive Impact- As Dyson is the home company of UK it is easy for them to deal with
the local laws of that area so any political change does not affect the working of the
company and the government of UK is always supportive towards new technology and
innovations so it merely helped out Dyson as well. As emerging of Dyson in BRICS
market(Brazil,Russia,India,China and South Africa) is also helpful as they are
developing countries establishing market over there is a good deal.
 Negative Impact- In recent years UK government is facing some unstable conditions
which has affected the supply chain and production of that area and as Dyson is a Private
company all these things directly affect the production and working of company.

others.

market value of the product and helps to raise the profit for the company and also as
Dyson started dealing with a Malaysian company where it has low labour and production
cost and it has a huge supply of the product.
 Negative Impact- At times there is higher Inflation rates which automatically decreases
the buying power of the customer which tends to make a huge loss to the company, and
also there arises some fluctuating demands of certain products which is quiet difficult for
the company.

many more.

with the high changing demands efficiently they tries to cover members of all age groups
whether kids or adults (Inigo, Albareda and Ritala, 2017). They have a high revenue
rates as and also tries to be innovative.
 Negative Impact- With changing demands and change in people's lifestyle it is
somehow a big pressure on the company to deal with it and they also have to pay a
heavy amounts for getting the license which somehow decreases the profit rate.

Technology- It mainly comprises of all the new technology and innovations with there better
and advance versions.

today's time and it also emerged out with all new technology and innovations as it has

problems in the products and company has to suffer losses for that. Dyson somehow in
various reasons uses old and outdated version which are not up to the mark.

many more.
 Positive Impact- The company is trying and working to launch certain ecofriendly
products which does not effect the environment.(Ngai and et. al, 2018).They had also
launched a vacuum cleaner for the cleaning purpose as by keeping hygiene in mind.

any thing for saving the environment and as company has never dealt with any projects
related to environment.

trademarks, registration and all the legal formalities which needed and as it is a
technology based company they provide cyber space security by registering in IT Act
