 Economical – In this section includes interest rates which is back bone and holds country
together. In the manufacturing industry it depends on the profit from its international
branches.
 Social – To connect society need to communicate and know population growth and
conduct wireless society.
 Technological – In this section consist of new technology and innovation which is
related to production.
For internal analysis of TPG processing conduct SWOT analysis -
 Strength – The strength of TPG processing that it is stable and demand for manufacturing
trends. In present time it is highly effectively and capability to maximise the productivity
as well as profitability.
 Weakness – It built non essential goods so it will show high competition in market and
little room growth of TPG processing.
 Opportunities - Get opportunity in global market and capability to become a stable
business designation.
 Threat – In present time largest manufacturing industry low wage high productivity
