Detailed Pestle Analysis of V Tech
Political
1. De-globalization surge across the globe: De-globalization is a phenomenon which is slowly spreading across the globe with the election of the new president of United States. Also,the people are becoming more and more centric to their nation and the wave of globalization that engulfed the world in the second half of last century is changing dynamics. The trade rift between China and U.S. that resulted in a 30% tax hike on Chinese solar panel imports may be reflected on other industries too in 2018. The U.S. is firmly against the ‘Made in China 2025’ policy as they feel it will upset the trade relations policy imposed by WTO. De-globalization and changing markets are thus proving to be the biggest challenge faced by multinational companies. The profitability, revenues and markets should all be accessed and then only any strategic action be taken. VTech has to be highly cautious and wake while making a decision. Also, it has to maintain wide options for itself to work upon under changing conditions.
2. Economic instability due to trade restrictions in North America: With the election of the new President in 2016, there have been a number of restrictions imposed upon trade and trade practices in the United States of America. Trump administration is taking advantage of Europe’s lowered clout in international affairs in the aftermath of Brexit. He has levied high tax rates on foreign imports and thus created uneasiness for those whose businesses thrive due to sales of their products in one of the predominant consumer markets in the world. This can have far reaching consequences on world trade as USA plays a major rule in defining trades relations across the world.
3. Changing leaders in USA, Europe, and Asia: Europe many countries are opting for right wing ideology on their governance. With Brexit and thus, changing political order it has become really challenging for multinational companies to continue their operations at the same pace as before. With VTech’s market spread across the globe, it can be a quite taxing for it. The dynamics has to be closely monitored and timely actions should be taken to keep it sustained as a market leader.
Economic

Social

Technological
1. Continuous Upgradation of technology: The Guardian had published the details of a survey by UK based analyst Juniper research in 2016. The research survey revealed that the worldwide yearly sales of smart toys are expected to reach $11.3billion by 2020, rising significantly from the $2.8 billion mark in 2015. The fast pace and ease of communication has paved way for international collaborations and operations at much larger scale than ever before. More so, VTech is a company whose core competency is technology and hence it has to be utterly cautious and strategic in the market. Siliconic Home is a technology firm that has come up with Sparky, a digital assistant which can be described as the Amazon echo for kids in the age bracket of 5 and 12. It should integrate its growth in the future revolutionary technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning and Internet of things to name a few, besides others. It has to use acute business acumen and great leadership skills to be able to retain its position.
2. Ease of transfer of product through technology: VTech should use the current market to its advantage and improvise itself by selling through online channels. It should provide good customer services and return policy for better commitment and developing a connection with customer. It continuously increase its efficiency by the use of technology in each field, from supply chain management, finances, operations, marketing and sales etc.
