P 4 Positive and negative influence of macro environment
Macro environmental factors are those which affect the TJ morris organization and its
business strategies as whole. This include the economical condition of the country, its political
region an customers behaviour, inflation and many more. These macro or external factors are
uncontrollable by the company and influence the performance and strategies of TJ morris group.
To identify the influence of the macro factors on the business operation and decision
strategies of TJ, managers use PESTLE analysis. This includes the six factors that affect the
business strategies of TJ group. These factors are:
Political
Political instability affect the business of the TJ Morris group as whole. According to the
changing political condition all the inflation, tax, interest and property rate will be change. Then
the TJ group has to be change its strategies and can reduce the sell of its products and property y
in the market (Tomaš and Radović-Marković, 2018). For example if new political party increase
the import and export rate, this affect the TJ morris business, as they have to pay large amount to
import or ex[port to any products and can not expand business.
Whereas, political condition can help the TJ group by preparing the interest rates, tax
rates which give the benefits to the TJ group by decreasing tax rates and property rates, son that
can sell more property and other house bargain goods and services to customers. Whereas if
decrease the import export rate, then Tj morris can import and ex[ort their products at large
quantity to satisfied customers need.

Economical
Bad and poor economical condition of the country give the negative prospect to the TJ as
they do not get the best and effective resources from the country to operate its business. If TJ
group want to expand its business then low economic growth can become the hurdles in a way of
TJ group. For example, if country has low economic value then the currency value will be very
low all the things are expensive, this affect the business as customers can not buy expensive
products.
Apart from this, good economical condition include the low interest rate, tax, and
exchange rate. This will help the TJ group to give hike to its business. As they can expand its
business to fulfil the need of customers (Pan, Chen and Zhan, 2018). Whereas if country has
good economic value the currency value will be high, then all the things and resources are
available at nominal rates. This helps the company to its smooth operation.
Social
Social factor include the customers, culture of the country, age, gender education and
other factor that affect the business of the TJ group. Culture of the customers can negatively
affect the business, like, if people believe in buying flats rather the land it will affect the profit
share of TJ group.
Whereas, education level of the people help the company t get more skilled employees
and this will also affect the business of the TJ group as they work effectively to provide the bet
services and products to customers. If company provide the products as according to the needs of
customers, it will be profitable for the company.
Technological
New and updated technology affect the business of the TJ group. Bring new technology
in the company can be expensive for the company. To make their employees technology
friendly, also become costly as they have to provide training. If company brings QR machine,
computers and other equipments, this will expensive and also have to spend a lot money to
trained their existing employee or have to hire new skilled employee.
Whereas bring new technology in the TJ group help their employees to produce quality
good and services to their customers. This helps to increase its profits by satisfying the need of
the customers. This give the profitability of the company. Technology like, using Qr machines to
