PESTLE is a macro-environment analysis tool that studies Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental factors. It helps businesses understand external changes such as government policies, inflation, demographic trends, new technologies, compliance requirements and sustainability norms, and take timely strategic decisions.
A private company cannot invite the public to subscribe for shares and generally restricts transfer of shares; it has limited members and relatively lower compliance. A public company can invite public subscription, shares are generally freely transferable, membership can be large, and it has higher disclosure and compliance requirements.
Types of entrepreneurs: Innovative entrepreneurs introduce new products and technologies and create new markets. Imitative entrepreneurs adopt and improve innovations developed by others. Fabian entrepreneurs are cautious and adopt change slowly. Drone entrepreneurs resist change and continue old methods even when change is necessary. Entrepreneurs may also be classified as small business entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs and technology/startup entrepreneurs based on the nature of enterprise.
Support to small businesses in India (overview): Small businesses receive support through MSME-related agencies and programmes that provide entrepreneurship development training, skill development and advisory services. Financial assistance is provided through banks and financial institutions via priority sector lending, credit guarantee support, microfinance and subsidy schemes. Infrastructure support is provided through industrial estates, clusters and incubation centres with common facilities. Marketing support includes participation in trade fairs, e-marketplace access and export promotion guidance. Technology upgradation support, quality certification and digitalisation assistance also help improve competitiveness.
Therefore, support institutions and government measures aim to strengthen small businesses by reducing constraints of finance, technology, marketing and infrastructure.
