4.   External Marketing Audit

In this section, a marketing plan is done for Lenovo PC and the plan would formulate the basis of an improvement of the company’s performance to achieve the objectives of the marketing plan (Kotler et al 2005). The audit finds its basis in realms of boundaries of the environment, opportunities and issues of strategy.

在本章中,一个良好的营销计划,是一个公司成败的最根本的因素,为了实现联想公司的营销计划,联想公司既有机遇,也有挑战。能否实现,既有宏观的环境的挑战,也有微观环境的影响。只有适应这种环境,才能在经济力量 政治力量 文化力量和技术力量中,取得比较明显的优势。利用好各种力量,最终才能成功。

The below External Marketing Audit include the analysis of the macro-environment as well as the micro-environment. It is the macro-environment that is consistently influencing the operation of the company and it is the micro-environment that is closely related to the company inherently (Kotler et al 2005).

Macro-environment means the major social forces that put threats and provide opportunities to the sales activities of enterprises (Mankiw 2011). The objective of analysis of macro-environment is to gain a better understanding of the environment and to achieve the objectives by adapting to the environment (Kotler 2008). 

Many forces can influence the macro-environment. Economical forces, demographic forces, natural forces, political forces, cultural forces and technological forces are all included. All the forces have an interaction with the company. (JPKC 2007)

Fig 1. Major forces of a Company’s Macro-environment

The force above in the chart clearly illustrates the interaction of a company and the six kinds of forces. It is clearly seen that the forces have an impact on the company respectively and the company also has its own impact on the several forces that make up for the macro-environment in which the company intimately operates.

1.1  The PESTEL Factors: Macro-environment

As is discussed above, there are many factors and forces influencing and interacting with the company that constitute the macro-environment. Despite the fact that the company itself has impact on the macro-environment since it is a process of interaction, the macro-environment can be barely changed or even controlled by the company through its own force, however strong and influential it is. As is shown in Fig 2, the macro-environment is consisted of political factors, environmental factors, social factors, technical factors, economical factors and legal factors, known as PESTEL factors in short (Kotler et al 2005).

In the next few paragraphs, the factors mentioned above which influence the macro-environment would be discussed respectively.
