The five External Environmental forces are given below:

- Political/Legal Factors: These factors are the factors that relate to the government and the political situation of a country. The government defines the laws and regulations so businesses are affected deeply by this factor.

- Economic Factor: The stage of business cycle that is attributed with the country, the interest rates and the monetary and fiscal policies all come under this factor. Furthermore, the economic conditions also define the buying power of the consumers.

- Technology
- Competition: You as a company need to know what your competitor is up to. This will let you remain ahead of your competitor at all times.
