PEST模型是一种在业界被广泛使用的商业分析模型,主要应用于企业外部的宏观大环境分析,近年来在各类商业报告和论文中得到了广泛的应用。 PEST模型的框架非常简单,P指政治,E指经济,S指社会,T指技术。利用PEST模型进行分析就是指从政治、经济、社会、技术四个角度进行分析,帮助企业进行商业决策或风险评估。 然而“光说不练假把式”,单看概念,很多人还是无法理解如何将PEST模型运用到实际的商业模型中。今天,小编带来了“华尔街魔咒”官网 )发布的PEST模型案例分析,让我们跟随实际的案例,一起来看看PEST模型的应用方法吧! 在这个案例中,小米公司被选为分析对象。首先,案例对小米公司的整体概况以及案例分析所要达到的目标进行阐述:小米公司是世界五百强的上市公司,公司位于在中国北京,在2013年以其Mi 2崭露头角。本次分析将研究小米公司该如何分配资源以达到利益最大化。 注意,在使用PEST模型时,这最开始的一步是很多人会遗漏的步骤。然而对公司整体情况的介绍和了解对接下来的分析是不可或缺的。尤其是在写论文时,缺少公司介绍会让整个分析无所依凭,导致判分老师看得云里雾里,整份分析也就毁于一旦。 在接下来的分析中,值得大家注意的还有一点,那就是分点解析。不知道大家有没有注意到,在各大企业正式的商业报告或年报中,往往是大点下又列小点,每一步每一点非常的清晰,有迹可循。 这“分点解析”的要求,在论文或report的写作中尤其重要。如果将所有文字堆积,比方说P大点下直接跟一大段的话,每日批阅无数论文的判卷老师很有可能漏掉重要的关键点,无意间导致论文分数的下降。 对了,这里要略微提一下essay和report的区别,essay的判分有全文连贯的要求,千万不能分点,只能分段,report完全相反,必须分点。这与文体差异有关,本文主要针对report的文体,在这里就不细说。 开头、中间做好之后,千万不能让结尾坏了一整个报告。在PEST模型中,当分析者结束了PEST四点的分析,其实还不算完,没有最后的Findings或Conclusion,这份报告就是不完整的。 在最后的总结中,报告者必须对整份报告的内容做出归纳,给出结论,同时与开头阐述的分析目标相呼应。 在这里,小编贴上完整的例子,希望大家通过借鉴可以完整地掌握PEST分析的技巧,成为一名优秀的商务分析员哦!
