2. Environmental Analysis

2.1 Macro Environmental Factors Analysis

2.1.1 PESTEL Analysis

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.

International expansion involves various risks and uncertainties, including regulatory,

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

evaluate the political stability, economic growth prospects, social-cultural dynamics,

technological infrastructure, environmental regulations, and legal frameworks of the target

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

allow them to adapt their strategies accordingly.

2.1.1.1 Political factors

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

welfare is always proportional to the degree of trade openness.


Based on this political analysis, it was found that Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey are three of the

strongest countries when it comes to determining the political factors amidst EMANITA

countries. Delco Electronics Overseas LLC should keep these countries into consideration

while deciding based on the political affairs in their markets.

2.1.1.2 Economic factors

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

increase in activities in economy, demand of consumers, and opportunities in business, hence,

attracting foreign investment and facilitating a market expansion for international businesses

(World Bank, 2021).

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

profitability (International Monetary Fund, 2021).

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

patterns, product pricing, and market demand. (Tax Foundation, 2021).

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.

2.1.1.3 Social factors

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

successfully in diverse social environments. Keeping a track of individuals using internet


connectivity will indicate a digitally connected population, offering opportunities for

businesses to reach and engage with consumers online. This will help in advertisement

targeting and digital marketing strategies. Additionally, increased influencing consumer

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].

2.1.1.4 Technological factors

Innovation ecosystems, and competitive advantages for businesses entering international

markets can be best checked with tracking technological factors. They play a crucial role in

shaping market opportunities and their implications is essential for businesses seeking to

leverage technology for successful market entry and expansion.

Indicators like high-technology exports will help Delco Electronics Overseas LLC reflect on

the country's technological capabilities, innovation capacity, and competitiveness in global

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

the last amidst the EMANITA countries. [Table 4]

Two more indicators that need to be given importance is R&D expenditure and the presence

of researchers in R&D [per million]. As a percentage of GDP indicates a country's investment

in innovation and technological advancement. If the country has higher R&D spending, this

signals an environment that is conducive for innovation-driven businesses, offering

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

and competitiveness (World Bank, 2021).

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.

2.1.1.5 Environmental factors

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

(International Renewable Energy Agency, 2021). Ethiopia consumes 90% of renewable


energy as opposed to the total energy consumption, highest in the EMANITA countries. [see

Table 5]

Another factor that Delco Electronics Overseas LLC needs to consider the access to

electricity. Limited access to electricity often constrains development, production, and

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

record amidst the EMANITA countries. [Table 5]

High levels of carbon dioxide emissions per capita is another strong indicator to be

considered by the company. They showcase environmental concerns and a possible

regulatory pressure to reduce carbon footprints which might need for Delco Electronics

Overseas LLC to make changes to its functioning (World Bank, 2021).

The environmental factors and understanding their implications are essential for businesses

seeking to get traction in a new country.

2.1.1.6 Legal factors

Business environment is shaped keeping legal factors in mind. Companies entering

international markets need to keep a check on regulatory landscape, and investment

attractiveness. These factors need to be understood better by Delco Electronics Overseas LLC

for establishing in a new market.

Business operations, certainty in legal systems, and any regulatory compliance is affected by

the level of corruption. Strong control of corruption in a country fosters competition that is
fair, confidence of investors, and business integrity, supporting the market entry and growth

that is sustainable (World Bank, 2022). The analysis shows that Nigeria has the poorest

control of corruption and Indonesia and Turkey the best. [Table 5]

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

legal framework that is stable for business activities, supporting international market entry

and any long-term investments (World Bank, 2018). Table 5 shows Nigeria and Algeria with

the least score and Indonesia and Argentina the most.

The PESTEL Analysis clearly showcases the countries to focus by Delco Electronics

Overseas LLC based on the the various indicators but is still inconclusive with respect to the

market analysis, competitiveness in each country which is further done by Porter’s Five

Forces and BERI analysis.

2.2 Elements of Five Forces

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

through three different aspects.

2.2.1 Competitive Rivalry

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

manufacture various automotive components. Additionally, there is also the presence of


international companies such as Magna International, Bosch, and Continental AG who have

significant operations or partnerships in Mexico. The Argentine automotive market includes

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

wage pay, export prices and other such metrics.

2.2.2 Suppliers Bargaining Power

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

choices about the customer relationships they want to focus on.

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.

2.2.3 Buyers Bargaining Power

Buyers and suppliers should be in a complementary cooperative relationship (Nair &

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

bargaining power. Turkey's aftermarket sector growth moderately influences market

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.

3.2 Market Attractiveness (MA) and Competitive Strength (CS) Frameworks

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

zone2 position, while Algeria has a relatively poor data performance.

3.3 Market Entry Justification

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 &

CS; and these three countries have the highest scores.

4. Risk Assessment’s Benefits & Drawbacks

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

losses by adjusting tactics, reallocating resources, and implementing contingency plans.

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

advantage by enabling the company to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and

outperform competitors. Additionally, risk assessment ensures compliance with legal

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

based on subjective assessments and predictions, leading to uncertain outcomes. Subjectivity

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

assessment, contingency planning, and continuous monitoring and adaptation. Incomplete or

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

unforeseen risks may still be overlooked.

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

can be improved for the business.

5.0 Conclusion

In conclusion, the research done for Delco Electronics Overseas LLC in the EMANITA

nations emphasises the significance of making strategic decisions based on comprehensive

assessments of external variables and market entry chances. Through the application of

frameworks like PESTEL analysis, Porter's Five Forces, BERI analysis, competitive strength

evaluations, and market attractiveness, Delco Electronics will be able to obtain important

insights into the competitive, political, and economic environments. The nations—Ethiopia,

Mexico, Algeria, Nigeria, Indonesia, Turkey, and Argentina—offer different chances and

difficulties for entering the market. Based on our analysis, Delco Electronics should enter

Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico andmust customise methods to reduce risks, take advantage of

investment opportunities, and keep a competitive edge in the automotive electronics sector if

it is to prosper in these varied markets.

6.0 Recommendations

Delco Electronics Overseas LLC's is recommended prioritising markets of Mexico, Turkey

and Indonesia based on the analysis done above. To mitigate political risk in high-risk

countries such as Algeria and Ethiopia, the company should develop a robust risk mitigation

strategy that includes in-depth research and local partnerships (Rugman & Verbeke, 2020).
Differentiation strategy is crucial when entering more saturated markets, and the strategy

requires unique features, a strong brand, and targeted marketing. Strategic supply chain

management is essential, including building partnerships, ensuring cost competitiveness, and

maintaining consistent product availability. Products and strategies should be localised

according to local consumer preferences and based on comprehensive market research,

resulting in increased product acceptance and sales. Considering competitiveness and

profitability, while addressing consumer price sensitivities, a careful and balanced pricing

strategy is recommended. Continuous monitoring of political, economic and market changes

is essential for the continued adaptation and long-term success of dynamic EMANITA.
