PEST

How PEST affect the organization that they are working.

Political/legal

My mom is the owner of the Sister Tailor. Because of that, she needs to adhere to certain laws. For example, she needs to follow the Employment Law in order to maintain her company reputation. My mom is responsible to takes care of workers’ welfare, give them annual leave, and also minimum wages. Besides, she needs to install fire alarm in her company to ensure safety of workers in case her company catch fire. My mom must abide all the laws in order not to sue by the worker.

Economic

Increasing price of the thread and fabric will affect my mom’s organization. Customers that belong to middle and lower class of the society will unable to afford the huge cost. They will choose to buy traditional Malay clothes at market instead of patronizing my mom’s shop. As a result, this will certainly contribute loss to my mom’s shop.

Social/demographic

Malaysia consists of three major races that are Malay, Chinese and Indian. If there is an increase in Malay population in Taiping, my mom’s shop will gain a lot of profit. This is because; mainly of her customers is Malay. Other than that, rising in standards of living in Taiping will contribute a lot of business to my mom.

Technological

Sewing machines are essential component for my mom’s organization. Without it, productivity will be very low as workers need to sew it by themselves and thus consume a lot of time. Then, it will contribute loss to my mom‘s shop as customers will look for more efficient shop.
