Introduction
Understanding the environment within which a business operates its functions is essential for
running a business unit effectively at any place. Hence, it could be said that business
environment signifies a collection of all entities, individuals and other components that could
influence its business performance, development, profitability issue and others. Each business
operates in an individual environment, as it could not survive in isolation. In this study,
several factors related to the internal and external business environment would be explained
with sufficient examples. The first phase of this study would be centred round exploring the
business structure of SAGE GROUP PLC. Purpose and discussion related to the influence of
PESTLE analysis on the selected business would be explained afterwards in this study.
