Background of Thales

Strategic management
Before initiating the business activities and operations, Thales needs to analyze the environment
to gain competitive advantages in the international market (Tripes, Komarkova, Pirozek and
Dvorak, 2014).
Political factors: France is a developed country therefore the political environment of the
country is stable and strong. Thus, there is no political trouble, no political crisis and no conflict
in the market. This is an effective and good factor that can help the Thales to attract more clients
and investors in the marketplace. Along with this, the government of the country has no any
control on the culture and religious. Therefore, the company can easily initiate the business
activities in such country (Szydlowska, 2017).
Let’s talk about the Australia; the country is one of the biggest and important markets for MNC’s
in the Asia pacific region. The country maintains stable business environment and political
factors. Apart from this, the country uses skilled and experienced employees to conduct business
activities and operations successfully.
Now talk about the India, the country is one of the most powerful countries across the world. The
political factors contribute to maintain a stable political climate in the marketplace. On the other
hand, corruption can affect the business operations and activities of Thales adversely. Corruption
increases and enhances the cost of the business operations and also affects the foreign direct
investment.
Economic factors: The economic position of the France is strong and unique in the global
market. Talking to economic situation is connected to various factors such as level of inflation,
interest rate, and employment. GDP of the company has grown up from 0.3% in 2008 to 8% in
2009. The tax rate is approx 40% higher on the business community as compared to the rest of
the world (Hillson and Murray-Webster, 2017).
Talking about Australia, economic factors highly influence in such country. It is dominated by
the service sector. The economic factors such as inflation rate, employment rate, interest rate and
exchange rate could also influence the success and growth of Thales group in such country. On
the other hand, the country is facing recession, along with the unemployment rate approx 6% and
inflation rate of 2-3%.
