One of the challenges of business—and life—is planning for an uncertain future. We introduced the concept of contingency planning previously in the course. In module 4, we discussed a related process—environmental scanning—and how to incorporate this concept into the strategic planning process. In this essay question, you will briefly summarize the PESTEL framework and develop a PESTEL analysis for a business of your choice. Review the Common Frameworks for Evaluating the Business Environment section of your course. Briefly (in one paragraph) summarize what the PESTEL framework is and why it matters. Select a specific business or an industry that you are familiar with as a consumer/fan (i.e., sports team, musician, favorite retail establishment), employee or stock investor and develop a PESTEL analysis that includes at least 5 factors in each category: political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal. Conduct additional research as needed to support your points.

Managerial Economics (Book Only) | 12th Edition Chapter 8, Problem 8PProblemMultiplant Operation. Appalachia Beverage Company, Inc. is considering alternative proposals for expansion into the Midwest.  Alternative 1: Construct a single plant in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a monthly production capacity of 300,000 cases, a monthly fixed cost of $262,500, and a variable cost of $3.25 per case.  Alternative 2: Construct three plants, one each in Muncie, Indiana; Normal, Illinois; and Dayton, Ohio, with capacities of 120,000, 100,000, and 80,000, respectively, and monthly fixed costs of $120,000, $110,000, and $95,000 each.
