Pestel is only a starting point when analysing the macro business environment of firms since other frameworks such as Porters Five Forces and BCG are also used in conjunction to assess how firms such as British Airways can utilise core resouces and competencies so as to take advantage of opportunities while neutralising competition and rising threats. In this strategy report, we analyse the internal and external environment of British Airways using Pestle, Swot, Porters five forces & BCG matrix during the years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
