 ENVIRONMENT AND MARKET (EM)

Aspiring entrepreneur need to explore the

economic, cultural, and social conditions
prevailing in an area. Needs and wants of the
people in a certain area that are not met may
be considered business opportunities.
Identifying the needs of the community, its
resources, available raw materials, skills, and
appropriate technology can help a new
entrepreneur seize business opportunities.
5
• To be successful in any kind of business venture,
potential entrepreneurs should look closely at the
environment and market. They should always be
watchful of existing opportunities and constraints,
and to take calculated risks. The opportunities in the
business environment are factors that provide
possibilities for a business to expand and make more
profit.
• Constraints, on the other hand, are factors that limit
business growth, hence reduce the chance of
generating profit. One of the best ways to evaluate
opportunities and constraints is to conduct a
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
(SWOT) Analysis.
6
SWOT Analysis is a managerial tool
used to assess the environment.

1. It is used to gather important

information which is then used in
strategic planning. Strengths and
weaknesses are internal in an
organization.
2. They relate to resources owned by an
organization that you have control over
and also the extent of its marketing.

7
3. Opportunities and threats exist in the
external environment.

• Opportunities relate to the market, new

technologies, and the external factors such
as government policies, climate, and trends.
• Threats replace what the competitors are
doing. It also includes legal and other
constraints.
