Question

What is Macro Environment?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The business environment contains all the components that determine the supply and demand level of an organization. The market is always changing; it does not depend on the product that the business produces. Businesses must deal with changing environments and better cognizance.

Step 2

In the context of marketing, the macro environment is not under the control of the company but preferably a set of external conditions affecting its development. The macro-environment represents the wider business environment as a unit. Some ingredients of the macro-environment are demographic factors, political factors, and cultural factors.
