EXTERNAL MICRO-ENVIRONMENT
Microeconomics involves factors of resources availability and usage that impact
individuals and businesses. As a company operator, understanding the core
microeconomic factors affecting your business helps in planning and preparation, as
well as long-term business strategy development.
General
Customers Investors Public
Supplier
Suppliers can control the success of the business when they hold the
power. The supplier holds the power when they are the only or the
largest supplier of their goods; the buyer is not vital to the supplier’s
business; the supplier’s product is a core part of the buyer’s finished
product and/or business.
Customers
Who the customers are and their reasons for buying the product will
play a large role in how you approach the marketing of your products
and services to them.
Employees
The availability of qualified, motivated employees for your business type is vital to
economic success. If you operate a highly technical business, for instance, you might
have to pay more in salary to attract a limited number of available, specialized
workers.
Investors
Shareholders and investors may help fund your company at start-up or as you look
to grow. Without funds to build and expand, you likely can't operate a business. You
could look to creditors, but you have to repay loans with interest. By taking on
investors, you share the risks of operating and often gain support and expertise. You
do give up some control, though.
Competition
Those who sell same or similar products and services as your organization are your
market competition, and the way they sell needs to be taken into account. How does
their price and product differentiation impact you? How can you leverage this to
reap better results and get ahead of them?
General Public
Your organization has a duty to satisfy the public. Any actions of your company must
be considered from the angle of the general public and how they are affected. The
public have the power to help you reach your goals; just as they can also prevent
you from achieving them.

THE BEHAVIOR OF
BUSINESSES
How Does the Law Affect Businesses?
Change in business laws means changes in the way businesses
operate. Taxation policy is one the government policies that affect
businesses directly because taxation is based on the amount of money
earned by all businesses. For example, increase in corporation taxes
which focus on the businesses profits has an effect similar to increase in
costs. VAT (value added tax) is also a tax policy that will affect the
bottom line, although in most governments VAT, is a cost on the
consumer and not the business owner.
• Business laws affect employer to employee relationships and vice-versa. For
instance, it is mandatory for employers to follow government regulations
regarding the way they treat their employees and their hiring mechanism.
• When it comes to international trade, business laws are imposed in regards
to international trade tariffs. Such rules and regulations are strict on the
kind of products going in and out internationally. The international trade
rules and regulations also enforce guidelines on the parties that should take
part in international trade.
• Lastly, governments impose business rules and regulations to ensure that all
businesses are run in line with codes of ethics, good health and safety of the
consumers.
Employment laws

compliance
• SSS , OTHER PENSIONS

with the State’s commitment for the total development of every worker as a complete
human being.
