LITERATURE REVIEW
To develop basic knowledge about internal and external factors of business environment.
According to Fraser Sherman, 2019, it is stated that external factors are those which take
place outside the company and is difficult to predict as well as control. It involve elements such
as political, social, legal, economical, technological and so on (What Are Internal & External
Environmental Factors That Affect Business, 2019). On the other side, internal factors are
those which raise within an organisation. These are employees, plans & policies, resources,
company culture and many more. It is important for an organisation to analyse the impact of
such factors so that strategies were developed in order to deal with them as it has direct impact
on performance and growth of a business entity.
To determine various models used by organisation to assess internal and external business
environment.
As per the view point of Erica Olsen, 2018, it is determined that there are various models
used by companies in order to analyse internal as well as external business environment. In
context to external business environment, PESTLE analysis is effective that is consider by many
organisations. It is basically a technique for understanding various external factors that influence
business productivity (Framework for evaluating business environment, 2018). In addition to
this, it involve both negative and positive aspects which not only help in dealing with external
issues but will also help in developing effective policies foe dealing with issues that can arise at
any time in future. In relation to internal business environment, SWOT analysis were used, it
help business entity to capitalise its strengths and decline the impact of weaknesses on business
performance. In addition to this, it also help in assessing best opportunities and reduce affect of
threats which help an organisation to attain higher growth and success at marketplace.

discuss below:
Research philosophy: Positivism and Interpretivisim are two forms of philosophies
which assist in data collection & data analysis as well. In the present investigation, positivism
type of research philosophy is useful as it assist in gathering, analysing as well as using
quantitative data. The main reason for choosing such research philosophy is it does not consume
high time and also give valid results if compared to interpretivisim philosophy.

as it help in gaining valid results and did not need maximum time as well. For collecting
secondary information, articles. Books, magazines, Journal papers and so on sources will be used

such research ethics, investigator can complete whole activities of research in an ethical and
proper manner.
Data analysis: For analysing the quantitative information gathered from questionnaire,
frequency distribution analysis will be used as an analytical technique. It will assist researcher in
