identifying promising countries for entry, and developing tailored strategies to mitigate risks
Businesses use PESTEL analysis as a strategic framework to understand the external macro-
environmental factors that can impact their operations, strategies, and performance. PESTEL
stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal factors. The
term first originated from Aguilar (1967) who presented ETPS (Economic, Technical,
Political, Social) in his book. The analysis helps companies take a better look at the broader
external environment in which they operate or plan to operate. The insights generated helps
the company take better business decisions, improve on operations, and evaluate performance
on a global scale.
economic, and socio-cultural risks. Companies can identify opportunities and threats they
may face in the international market by examining political, economic, social, technological,
environmental, and legal factors. This helps them capitalise on any favourable conditions
there is and mitigate any such risks associated with unfavourable conditions. Before entering
any new international market, companies must assess the feasibility and attractiveness of the
market (Czinkota et al., 2009). PESTEL analysis will help Delco Electronics Overseas LLC
market.
It needs to be noted that any international business landscape is dynamic and constantly
evolving. And PESTEL analysis will provide Delco Electronics Overseas LLC with valuable
insights into any emerging trends there is, shifts in consumer behaviour and psychology, the
technological advancements, any regulatory changes, and environmental concerns. This will
For the idea of expansion into the international market, Delco Electronics Overseas LLC
needs to keep in mind on how political decisions shape the regulatory environment, and
impact business operations, market entry, and compliance requirements. Regulatory changes
are also known to affect industries differently and create uncertainty for businesses (World
Bank, 2021). The company also needs to keep a track of political instability as it further leads
(World Bank, 2021). The need of a thorough research of the political environment is
imminent for Delco Electronics Overseas LLC to decide their target markets in EMANTIA.
For example, the political stability favours most to Mexico and are least to Algeria, Ethiopia,
and Nigeria [see Table]. Political factors check the influence on trade relations between
countries, affecting tariffs, trade agreements, and market access. Changes in trade policies
can impact supply chains, pricing strategies, and competitiveness for businesses (World
Bank, 2021). Moreover, political factors contribute to market entry barriers, including
bureaucratic hurdles, trade restrictions, and protectionist policies. Governments often impose
barriers to protect domestic industries or regulate foreign investment. It is observed that poor
political conditions increase trade barriers. This in turn decreases domestic welfare and gains
from any trade by shifting production away from the most cost-efficient producers. The
strongest countries when it comes to determining the political factors amidst EMANITA
countries. Delco Electronics Overseas LLC should keep these countries into consideration
The economic indicators will give a better outlook to entering international markets for Delco
Electronics Overseas LLC. For example, the GDP growth rate reflects the overall health and
expansion of the economy. This in turn means, that higher GDP growth rates will mean an
attracting foreign investment and facilitating a market expansion for international businesses
Firstly, inflation causes a problem in purchasing power and affects consumer behaviour
drastically. It also is an indicator that affect investment decisions, and pricing strategies.
Moderate inflation rates often support the economic stability and confidence in business. On
the other hand, a high inflation rate can disrupt operations, increase costs, and impact
Factors like inflation needs to be understood well by the company as it is crucial to predict
trends and make informed decisions. (PESTLE Analysis, 2024). In the analysis, it is observed
Indonesia and Mexico have the least inflation rate but Turkey and Argentina have the most.
[see Table 2]
Delco Electronics Overseas LLC also needs to keep a close track of the growth in the
automotive industry. This will indicate market demand for vehicles and related products.
Growth rates will signal opportunities for market expansion, investment, and business
development in the automotive sector (Statista, 2021). Table 2 shows Automotive growth
industry is the lowest in Argentina and Algeria but the highest in Turkey. Other indicators like
Minimum wages have a massive effect on labour costs, production expenses, and business
competitiveness. (OECD, 2021) and sales tax rates causes ripples in consumer spending
One major indicator to be tracked by Delco Electronics Overseas is Foreign direct investment
(FDI). FDI contributes to what economic growth looks like, job creation, and technology
transfer. A better FDI inflow will indicate confidence by investors, market attractiveness, and
potential opportunities for international businesses to enter and expand operations (United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 2021). Mexico has the highest FDI amidst
EMANITA and Algeria and Nigeria the least and close to zero.
Based on this economic analysis, it was found that Turkey and Indonesia are two of the
strongest countries when it comes to determining the economic factors amidst EMANITA
countries.
Social factors play a significant role in shaping market conditions, behaviour of consumers,
and business opportunities in international markets and understanding these factors and their
implications is crucial for Delco Electronics Overseas LLC seeking to enter and operate
businesses to reach and engage with consumers online. This will help in advertisement
behaviour and market research for market entry (World Bank, 2021). Table 3 shows
Argentina and Turkey with >80% of users with internet whereas Ethiopia has <20%.
Another indicator that needs to be tracked is Urbanization rates. These indicate concentrated
population centres with greater market potential and infrastructure development. These urban
areas offer opportunities for businesses to access larger consumer markets, distribution
networks, and business services (World Bank, 2021). An indicator that goes simultaneously
with it is Population growth rate. They impact market size, demand dynamics and more
market penetrating possibilities, and labour force participation. If population growth rate is
high, it may signal growing markets for consumers and economic opportunities for
businesses entering or expanding in these markets (United Nations, 2021). This analysis
portrays that it is the lowest in Algeria and highest in Mexico [Table 3].

markets. It is important to have access to high-tech exports and partnerships. This can provide
businesses with advanced technology inputs, market knowledge, and competitive advantages
for international market entry (World Bank, 2021). Mexico leads the chart here and Algeria is
Two more indicators that need to be given importance is R&D expenditure and the presence
in innovation and technological advancement. If the country has higher R&D spending, this
opportunities for market entry and commercialization of new technologies (OECD, 2021).
Furthermore, the presence of researchers in R&D indicates a country's human capital and
scientific expertise. This access to skilled researchers and technical talent pools will enable
Delco Electronics Overseas LLC to leverage local knowledge, collaborate on any such
research projects, and innovate solutions tailored to market needs, facilitating market entry
This analysis indicates Turkey to be the most suitable market among these indicators and
Nigeria the least based on budget allocation, expenditure, and research access.
Countries that have a higher proportion of renewable energy consumption always tend to
have favourable regulatory environments and incentives for clean energy technologies.
Businesses in the modern age need to enter markets with a strong commitment to renewable
energy. It gives them opportunities to innovate and offer sustainable energy solutions
Table 5]
Another factor that Delco Electronics Overseas LLC needs to consider the access to
business activities. (World Bank, 2021). Ethiopia has electricity access to just over 50% of
its population which indicates that there is a limited access. Ethiopia also has the poorest

The rule of law is required to ensure that there is protection of property rights, and adherence
to any such legal processes. We observe countries with a strong rule of law tend to provide

Porter's five forces model is one of the important frameworks for identifying and analyzing
industry competitive forces (Gratton, 2024). Delco Electronics Overseas LLC needs to
understand the challenges it will face when entering the EMANITA market will be judged
Ethiopia has Bosch, Denso, and Delphi who have distribution networks or partnership to
supply automotive parts. Mexican automotive industry has Nemak, Rassini, and Metalsa that
Tenneco, Magna International, and Valeo, along with local manufacturers like Sodecar and
Corven. Turkey has Tofaş, Otokar, and BMC that manufacture vehicles and automotive parts.
There are also other internation companies like Bosch, Delphi, and Mahle have a presence in
Turkey. Algeria automative company is relatively small, and companies like Renault,
Volkswagen, and Hyundai have established assembly plants in the country. Nigeria has
Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM), PAN Nigeria Limited, and Stallion Group that
assemble vehicles and import automotive parts. Finally, the Indonesian automotive industry
has Astra International, Toyota Astra Motor, and Indomobil Group that manufacture vehicles
and automotive components. International companies like Denso, Bosch, and Continental AG
also have a presence in Indonesia. These are some direct competitors of Delco Electronics
Overseas LLC. The company needs to keep track of its competitors in deciding factors like
Suppliers and global supply chains will influence companies to continuously change and
improve strategic plans to a certain extent (Frenkel, 2022). The automotive industry is facing
rising operational challenges due to the global mobility sector's transformation, especially the
shift to electric vehicles (EVs). Suppliers in the automotive industry play a crucial role in
determining costs and pricing. Dominated by a few major players, suppliers possess the
ability to negotiate prices and impact the profitability of manufacturers. The challenge lies in
balancing the rising costs of materials with customer expectations for cost efficiency. Some
manufacturers and suppliers are realigning their business models around increasing EV
adoption. Supplier efforts to restructure, acquire, divest, and even separate their businesses to
best serve their customers and shareholders appear to be accelerating. The transition to EVs is
beginning to apply pressure on the competitive landscape, and suppliers must make careful
In addition, as a major exporter of auto parts, Mexico has strong suppliers and a stable global
supply chain, which brings it bargaining power (Duarte, 2023). When selecting markets,
Delco should consider existing suppliers. Changing prices or interrupting the supply chain
will increase business risks. According to the analysis, Turkey, Mexico, and Indonesia have
strong political stability, which provides a good market environment for suppliers.
Narasimhan & Bendoly, 2011). The buyer encourages suppliers to consider bargaining by
lowering prices and diversifying supplier selections, which can bring strong bargaining power
to the buyer. The automotive parts industry's bargaining power varies across countries due to
market dynamics. Ethiopia's limited choices and reliance on a few suppliers result in low
bargaining power. Mexico's proximity to the U.S. and TMEC agreement gives buyers
moderate influence. Nigeria's reliance on imports and economic challenges result in low
bargaining power. Indonesia's market resilience during the pandemic gives moderate
competition. The overall bargaining power is influenced by these factors. Because consumers
in the target market already have unique consumption preferences, and consumers will be
highly sensitive to the price of new products, Delco should make some price adjustments to
reduce the bargaining power of buyers (Goldsmith & Flynn & Kim, 2010). In addition, lower
inflation will increase consumers' purchasing power. According to research, Indonesia and
Mexico have stable economy, which means that Delco's choice to enter this market will
reduce costs.
3. Market Analysis
3.1 BERI
The Business Environment Risk Index is used to measure the risk to a business in a particular
country. It helps the company evaluate the risk with respect to their prospective gains to assist
them with further course of action. (Mu, et al., 2009). The framework in Table 7 shows that
weights allotted to the criteria based on their relevance to risk assessment. The highest
weights are given to political stability and annual GDP growth rate as this will ensure long-
term business growth. (Bondarenko, et al., 2020). According to the analysis, the best business
environment for Delco Electronics is in the following order: Ethiopia, Algeria, Nigeria,
Argentina, Turkey, Mexico, and Indonesia. The selection of the best three countries for market
entry requires further analysis through the Market Attractiveness Framework and Competitive
Strength Framework.
MA and CS are interrelated factors for the decision-making process, both need to be assessed
together for accurate results. (Sipayung, et al., 2016). The most suitable data from PESTEL
was put into the MA and CS analysis tables, and weight was selected according to the key
factors in BERI. The score for each country is considered for further analysis.
According to the Table 8 & Table 9, GE MARTIX is drawn, and it is found that Indonesia,
Mexico, and Turkey are in Zone1, which means that these three countries have large markets
and can perform better in competition compared with other countries, which is a good
direction for Delco as a new challenger. Second, Argentina, Ethiopia and Nigeria are in the
As per the analysis from various frameworks, the best options for Delco are ranked as
Mexico, Turkey, and Indonesia. Moreover, as shown in Fig.1, these countries fall in Zone 1
which signifies primary opportunity. The GE Matrix is drawn from collective data of MS &
Risk assessment in marketing is crucial for identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities in
marketing plans. By conducting a proactive evaluation, Delco Electronics Overseas LLC can
anticipate challenges and develop strategies to mitigate or avoid them. This helps minimize
Moreover, risk assessment provides valuable insights that inform decision-making processes,
allowing Delco Electronics Overseas LLC to prioritize resources and investments based on
their potential return on investment and risk exposure. Hence, risk assessment is of great
importance to other stakeholders and the organisation. (Simon, et al., 2016). By effectively
managing risks, they can maintain brand reputation and integrity, safeguarding against
negative publicity or brand crises. This proactive approach also strengthens competitive
requirements, protecting companies from legal liabilities and ensuring ethical and responsible
marketing practices.
Although risk assessment has great value and plays an important role in marketing, it also has
limitations. For example, subjectivity and uncertainty (Smith, 2013): Risk assessment is
arises because the perception and interpretation of risk can vary between individuals and
organizations. Different stakeholders may have different views on the likelihood and impact
of the risk. On the other hand, uncertainty arises from the unpredictability of future events
and outcomes. Despite efforts to assess and minimize risks, there remains a certain degree of
uncertainty about their occurrence and consequences. Effective risk management requires
recognizing and addressing these subjective and uncertain aspects through rigorous risk
inaccurate data (Jane, 2022): Risk assessment requires reliable data, but accurate and
complete data is difficult to obtain. Missing or unreliable data can lead to errors. Inability to
consider all risks (Lam, J. 2003) - despite efforts to consider various potential risks, some
However, efforts are made to consider various potential risks during the risk assessment
process, there are still risks that cannot be predicted or are overlooked. New risk factors may
emerge for Delco Electronics Oversea LLC over time that were not addressed in the initial
assessment. Too much reliance on historical data (Fraser, J. and Simkins, B.2010) – this can
ignore new trends or changes, affecting the accuracy of the assessment. Risk assessment often
prioritizes external factors and natural disasters while ignoring human factors. However,
human factors such as internal errors, fraud, and competitors' actions can also significantly
impact an organization's marketing and risk activities. Ignoring the human factor in risk
assessment often focuses more on external factors, ignoring internal errors or competitors'
actions.
Despite these limitations, a risk assessment for Delco Electronics Oversea LLC is important
to understand and manage potential risks. By addressing these issues, accuracy and efficiency
