Analytical tools to be used
PESTLE
PESTLE is the strategic management tool that provide the useful framework to analyse
the macro environment factors on the business. It is the macro or external analysis of the external
environment in which business is operating or planning to be operate. These factors of macro0
environment are not controlled by the organisation but need be aware while making plan for
new business that affects and influence the business and trade policy. These factors are as follow:
Political Factors – Political factors of the country is one of the most important factors
which affects the trade policy of the any business. Their legal rules and regulations and
the government policy affects the business that they made for their country. If the
government is stable of any country will decrease the chance of the any risk because legal
rules and policies would not be changes frequently in short time (PESTLE Analysis for
New Zealand,2019). In the New Zealand the risk of tradi9ng policy is high because the
government has changed in every three years. New government applies new rules and
policies, which could be good for the organisation but some times it create the risk of
changing policies that organisation need to be aware and also have to make changes in
their own trading policies and strategies. In same way labour forces is very expensive in
the New Zealand that could create the problem of managing the labours that a Mercedes
Benz is the big firm which need a high amount of the labours and employees because of
the high rate of the labours comp[any have to pay high amount to them. As in the high
lending rate in the New Zealand, to start the business in the new Zealand Mercedes-Benz
need vast amount of money which could be good for the government of the New Zealand
but it could reduce the profit and revenue of the Mercedes-Benz company. The business
freedom in New Zealand is 99.9% and trad freedom is 84.6% which gives the freedom to
any organisation for trading in the New Zealand (Cruz and Alley, 2017).
Economic Factors – The economic condition of the New Zealand is good for the
trad9ingt and for the Mercedes-Benz as well. GDP of the New Zealand was 42,940.58 in
the year 2017. In 2016 New Zealand government revenue was NZD 90.833 billions
whereas expenditure was NZD 89.219 billions and the net government lending and
was 42,940.58 in the year 2017 (Arora and Gourdie, 2017).

the year 2017. In 2016 New Zealand government revenue was NZD 90.833 billions
whereas expenditure was NZD 89.219 billions and the net government lending and

borrowing at NZD 1.604 billion in 2016 that shows that the New Zealand has enough
financial resources that were made available by the government to boost the economic
growth of the country. Resultant hoes hat the new Zealand economy is favourable for the
trading of the Mercedes-Benz company that it can expand its business here and the
government will also help them to lending and borrowing the finance and make available
all the resources that the Mercedes-Benz need to establish its company in the New
Zealand (New Zealand PESTLE Analysis & Macroeconomic Trends Market Research
Report,2019). New Zealand's people spend more which help[s to manage the circulation
of the money all over the country in terms of buying goods and luxury products and other
necessary products and its inflation and unemployment rate is also less than other country
that helps the country to increasing its GDP and if the inflation rate is low then any
commodity and services like labours, steel, iron and other products could be available at
very low price with help of this Mercedes-Benz can make profit can grow more in the
New Zealand. New Zealand is more suitable more producing luxury products like car for
the Mercedes-Benz (Jussani and et.al, 2015).
Social and culture Factors – Every country haver different culture and their different
festivals. I the new Zealand there is majority of Christians, so during the time of the
Christmas increase the the import of the foods, beverage and electronic gadgets and cars
that also affects he economic condition of the country (Moutinho and Phillips, 2018). The
literacy rate is high and the unemployment rate is low that is good sign of the Mercedes-
Benz organisation that it can get the literate employees tat will boost the company growth
and expectancy is about 81 years which is a sign of good health of the New Zealand
population. If the people of the country are educated that will help to boost the economic
growth that they have the knowledge about latest technology that can help the Mercedes-
Benz to maximise its output at low cost and can make effective use of the available
resources. Social factors also include the attitude, power structure, migration for this
people of the New Zealand are educated and their attitude tow are the new things are also
favourable that they accept the new technology and the market easily and in the New
Zealand is full of resources at low price and all he technological improvement available
here, employment rate is high so the people of the New Zealand do not think to migrate
financial resources that were made available by the government to boost the economic
growth of the country. Resultant hoes hat the new Zealand economy is favourable for the
trading of the Mercedes-Benz company that it can expand its business here and the
government will also help them to lending and borrowing the finance and make available
all the resources that the Mercedes-Benz need to establish its company in the New
Zealand (New Zealand PESTLE Analysis & Macroeconomic Trends Market Research

Christmas increase the the import of the foods, beverage and electronic gadgets and cars
that also affects he economic condition of the country (Moutinho and Phillips, 2018). The
literacy rate is high and the unemployment rate is low that is good sign of the Mercedes-

people of the New Zealand are educated and their attitude tow are the new things are also
favourable that they accept the new technology and the market easily and in the New
Zealand is full of resources at low price and all he technological improvement available
here, employment rate is high so the people of the New Zealand do not think to migrate

to new country. So the social and cultural factors of the New Zealand is favourable to
expand business in the New Zealand for Mercedes-Benz (Kelsey, 2015).
Technological Factors – New Zealand has its own education system which is run by the
OECD for international students assessment ad it is constantly 7th best education system
around the world. Students shows their technical, mathematical and science skills and
teach others also. Which increase the literacy rate of the country that helps in developing

medical felicity to people at their doorstep (New Zealand PESTLE Analysis &
Macroeconomic Trends Market Research Report,2019). This will help the Mercedes-

technological factors will support the Mercedes-Benz company for setting up its new
venture in their land and run the business smoothly with the availability of the new

while producing products and have to make their CSR policy that work for the
improvement of the society.
Environmental Factors – New Zealand has its unique ecological system and is located
900 kilometres away from the Australia. New Zealand is an island country in the south
western Pacific Ocean (PESTLE Analysis for New Zealand,2019). Because of the being
an island risk of the heavy snowfall and heavy rain is always remain that can affect the
operation of the Mercedes-Benz company that the production of the company can stop
that the employees can not come on the work because of the changing environmental
condition.
Porter’s Five Forces Model
Porter'[s five forces model is the competitive analysis tool that is used to evaluate and
monitoring the strength and position of the competition and their intensity of the business in the
market. This theory is based on the concept of five forces that determine the intensity and
attractiveness of the competition in market, this model helps to identify the sustained position
and ability to make profit in the new marketplace (Porter's Five Forces: Analyzing the
Competition,2018). These five forces of the Porter that can influence the business are:
Power of the supplier – Power of the suppliers largely depends on the number of the
suppliers, number of the substitutes suppliers available in the market, importance of the
business for the suppliers, switching cost and may more which force the organisation to
change in there pricing policy. When there is large number of the suppliers available in
the country for the Mercedes-Benz organisation, it will provide the ease in supply final
goods in the market at low price. If the number of suppliers is low it will increase their
price of supplying and with this Mercedes-Benz also have to increase their product price
that they have to pay more in supplying products or in the import and export of the raw
material for manufacturing of the cars (What is Five Forces Analysis,2019).
Power of the Buyer – Customers are the main key for any business, every organisation
produce the goods for the customers and satisfying them. This force evaluate the power
of the consumers that affects the quality and pricing of the company. Thi9s depends on
the importance of the products, quality of the products, popularity of the products in the
market and etc. these things influence the customers to buy products. If Mercedes-Benz
does not produce the cars which is unique and give all the facilities that the competitors
improvement of the society.

that they have to pay more in supplying products or in the import and export of the raw

of the consumers that affects the quality and pricing of the company. Thi9s depends on
the importance of the products, quality of the products, popularity of the products in the
market and etc. these things influence the customers to buy products. If Mercedes-Benz
does not produce the cars which is unique and give all the facilities that the competitors

not able to provide that that customers attract towards the Mercedes-Benz company car
that increase the sell and profit and thus affects the price that company can increase the
car price, if the customers does not buy cars and demand of the car gets low then
Mercedes-Benz company have to forcefully decrease their pricing (Stindt and et.al,
2017).
Threat of substitutes and complementary goods – Competitors produce the substitute
products by using the different technology and try to solve the economic need of the
buyers. Like biggest competition of the Mercedes-Benz cars is Volkswagen, BMW,
Porsche and others who also try to provide the best cars at low price than the Mercedes-
Benz which is the biggest threat for the Mercedes-Benz that they also have to change
their pricing policy, quality of the products and design that can provide the best cars to
the customers and can increase their market share (Lüttgens and Diener, 2016).
Threats of new entrants – New entrants in the auto mobile industry force and affects the
pricing policy of the products. But in the auto mobile industry threats of the new entrants
is particularly low. And Mercedes-Benz already has a big brand name in the auto mobile
industry that any new entrants can not down its brand image in the market and can not
down the business can not match its quality easily. For entrance in this auto mobile
industry need very large amount that anyone can not afford it that is great barriers to get
entry in this industry. So the threat of new entrants is low as respect to the Mercedes-
Benz (Toro-Jarrín, Ponce-Jaramillo and Güemes-Castorena, 2016).
Competitive rivalry – Threats of the competition rivalry is high that there are many
industry who manufacture luxury cars like BMW, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Lexus
which launches the new advanced features cars and other vehicle that create the revelry in
the market for the Mercedes-Benz and force them to be change there pricing and
launched new designed car as opposed to its competition. But rivals in the market also are
the reason to be successful and become leader in the market. They influence and force to
produce and manufacture best quality products that will better than the competitors by
innovative technological changes. As the Mercedes-Benz use oligopoly market structure
that have the control over the quality and pricing of the market, so the competitive rivalry
does not force it at great extent (Porter's Five Forces: Analyzing the Competition,2018).
that increase the sell and profit and thus affects the price that company can increase the
car price, if the customers does not buy cars and demand of the car gets low then
Mercedes-Benz company have to forcefully decrease their pricing (Stindt and et.al,
2017).
Threat of substitutes and complementary goods – Competitors produce the substitute
products by using the different technology and try to solve the economic need of the
buyers. Like biggest competition of the Mercedes-Benz cars is Volkswagen, BMW,

their pricing policy, quality of the products and design that can provide the best cars to
the customers and can increase their market share (Lüttgens and Diener, 2016).

is particularly low. And Mercedes-Benz already has a big brand name in the auto mobile

produce and manufacture best quality products that will better than the competitors by

that have the control over the quality and pricing of the market, so the competitive rivalry
does not force it at great extent (Porter's Five Forces: Analyzing the Competition,2018).
