Evolving Business Environment Issues

Security:
Pakistan and china start a trade program which is CPEC. Pakistan Government is responsible for
providing security to CPEC route and it faces many security issues. There is a IS or al-Qaeda
and other groups may see CPEC projects as symbolic of China and strike against them. Pakistan
government has promised to provide security for all foreign investment in Pakistan, but the port
of Gwadar. The key to the entire CPEC project, lies in Baluchistan. Security challenges come
from the fact that CPEC runs through Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan, bordering the disputed
territory of Kashmir. It is feared that terrorists within Pakistan could seek to threaten Indian
controlled Kashmir through Gilgit-Baltistan Potential terror threats also come from a domestic
group called Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and al-Qaeda. Islamic terrorist organizations such as IS
and al-Qaeda have declared Jihad against China because of Beijing’s perceived mistreatment of
the Uyghur minority in China’s Xinjiang region.

and life. Pakistan is including in top ten countries most affected by climate change. Climate
change is negatively impacting health, agriculture and overall economy of the country.

Furthermore, one of the biggest issues is the increasing deforestation in the country. Reason
behind deforestation is energy crises, commercial benefits and domestic use. Paksitan new prime
minister imran khan have been launched to increase forest cover which includes Green Pakistan
Program, Billion Tree Tsunami which starts in 2017 but it will take some years for these plants
to grow.

Moreover, air pollution is destroy over environment. They release toxic gases from factories,
brick kilns and carbon emission from transport vehicles are main reasons of air pollution.
Pakistan government and citizens are lack to implement and follow those laws completely.
Another reason for air pollution is increasing deforestation in the country. Air pollution causes

Global PEST
Political

The year 2017 was not a good year for global politics. In 2016 election Trump victory was held
and they threatened North Korea to destroy them. The US defend itself but China will avoid a
war in the neighborhood. Trump will survive the sexual-assault claims, and the special counsel
Robert Mueller’s research of the Russian affair. China will not become first superpower as of
still, but it will strengthen its power Premier Li Keqiang, China’s second-in-command confirmed
China’s maintenance for the Paris Agreement, that it is an “international responsibility” to fight
against climate change. Trump confirmed last week that the US would exist the landmark
climate-change. In the year 2017 was a remarkable for women’s rights. Early from the women’s
march in January, 2017 has been the year when women finally united globally and clearly in
order to show their frustration and anger. The sexual harassment and violence allegations against
actresses by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. It will take 100 years to close this gap
according to the report of World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap in 2017. Sexual violence
against women and girls is being used around the world, while in Burma, the Central African
Republic, Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Education numbers do not look good. In
South sudan, Afghanistan and Chad, only 24%, 55% and 53% girls are going to school and
they are not studying.

In June 1981, scientists in the United States reported the first clinical evidence of a disease that
would later become known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS. Its cause, the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), was identified in 1983.

Since the start of the epidemic around 78 million have become infected with HIV and around 35
million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses. In 2015, there were 36.7 million (34.0
million–39.8 million) people living with HIV.

HIV is found in the bodily fluids of a person who has been infected - blood, semen, vaginal
fluids and breast milk. It can be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact. It is also spread
among people who inject drugs with non-sterile injecting needles, as well as through unscreened
blood products. It can spread from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breast feeding
when the mother is HIV-positive.

Today self-driving cars almost ordinary. Waymo publicly abandoned test drivers after the wheels
of its self-driving cars . it was a big deal. Waymo is beginning a self-driving taxi service in the

PEST Analysis.

POLITICAL.
In august 2018 Imran Khan was become a Pakistan's 22nd prime minister. The July 25th PTI
was the single-largest party in the parliamentary election. The new PTI-led union government's
capability to full fill its electoral promises and stated policy schedule which is limited by the
country's weak economic position. An approaching IMF programme will slow economic growth,
increase energy prices and result in further reduction of the local currency.

Corruption is the most damaging effects of bad governance is the occurrence that ultimately
results in lawlessness and the biggest interruption in the way of development. The absence of
neutral and independent accountability has resulted in the growth of this monster. It has become
a norm in our society rather than an exception. Good Governance stands for poverty alleviation.
It has always been a favorite buzzword in our economic and social development circles. Almost
every democratic government has launched poverty reduction programs but all proved futile and
ended in corruption. Accountability is a crucial point in good governance – the rulers and the
institutions of the state are accountable to people. But, it is very hard to find it in Pakistan’s weak
institutional set-up.

Economical.
In 2017 the Pakistan population is about 197 million. Pakistan looks increasingly unstable
grapples with persistent economic imbalances., the newly formed Economic Advisory Council at
its first meeting discussed measures such as an import ban on cheese and other consumer goods
to reduce the current account deficit, which blown up in FY 2018 due to robust imports
stemming from higher oil prices and projects linked to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
Foreign exchange reserves have been falling as a result and many analysts expect Pakistan may
soon turn to the IMF for a bailout. It could, however, first seek assistance from China or Saudi
Arabia to avoid IMF requirements.

Growth is expected to slow in FY 2019 as the country’s twin deficits continue to weigh on the
outlook. Panelists expect growth of 4.7% in FY 2019, unchanged from last month’s estimate, and
4.8% in FY 2020.

SOCIAL

It’s unfortunate that child labor exists throughout the world even after the presence of multiple
laws precisely legislated to eradicate it. Pakistan is one of the most dangerous countries for
children: apart from the dangers faced well before the birth by our babies, the plight of living in
poverty forces the already undernourished children to be economically active to help their
families. The main reasons forcing children to work are limited excess to education, poverty and
injustice. According to different sources more than 10 million Pakistani kids, have to work to
help their families at school going age. Child labor has been controlled to some extent by
legislation in the sophisticated areas but the conditions are not ideal. Even today, most of the
domestic servants in formal sectors are children. Many before the age of 6 are sold as domestic
workers only for sixty to eighty thousand rupees for one year. Working 24/7 becomes their fate
since the buyers take them as a purchasable item instead of a human being. people are frequently
sexually abused by masters and even by people living in surrounding like shopkeepers and
fellow grownup servants.

In Pakistan, domestic violence is the most common form of gender discrimination. The
depressing irony behind the male-dominated society in Pakistan is that; it determines that women
are not given enough independence and power to speak up against the unfair treatment receive.
The rate of abuse women suffer in Pakistan is even higher than most of the world; as 70-90
percent of Pakistani women become victim to unfair treatment. Commonly, the woman accepts
repeated beatings, sentimental whippings and verbal offense under the pressure to keep the
family unite

https://pakobserver.net/women-victimisation/

TECHNOLOGICAL

Technology, including the IT industry, in Pakistan has enormous potential for growth. But
teething problems, especially a lack of funds and encouragement for product development,
have deterred start-ups from moving forward with disruptive innovations or technologies. While
Pakistan’s technology sector struggles to get off the ground, Indian IT exports have reached
more than $100 billion.

Pakistan’s Information Technology industry has demonstrated positive growth trends for the last
four years. During 2016-17, Pakistan’s IT exports were $3.3 billion, which have climbed to $5
billion and are expected to grow to $6 billion in the coming years. Enterprise software has grown
by 17 percent, marketing tech 15 percent, financial services 13 percent, consumer goods 9
percent, retail/e-commerce 8 percent, professional services 8 percent, internet of things/hardware
7 percent, health care 4 percent, media 4 percent and non-profit 3 percent’s.
http://www.pakistaneconomist.com/2018/07/09/pakistans-it-industry-showing-positive-growth-
trend/

Pakistan’s IT sector constitutes only 1% of the global IT industry, a negligible share compared
with the accelerating need of robust development and growth of this sector in Pakistan.

Though there are over 1500 registered IT companies in Pakistan, each firm and individual is
unable to deliver its full potential. There also appears to be a lack of support from the
government. The educational sector of Pakistan is also failing to support this industry’s needs.
The courses, subjects and the information imparted at a majority of our existing educational
institutions are all obsolete and fail to inculcate creativity and innovation amongst the students.
In addition inculcating sound and effective communication skills of the students is another pre-
requisite. Nevertheless, majority of the universities in Pakistan persistently produce personnel
incapable of meeting the sectors’ needed communication and interpersonal skills standards. The
sheer number of IT universities in the country is also insufficient to properly promote IT
education in the count. The prevalent organizational politics and personal motives in the local IT
companies also hinder the operation of a smooth flow of work. The focus of the industry
representatives to fulfill their personal interests rather than working jointly for the benefit of
industry and national economy is a bottleneck in the effective realization of IT sector’s
organizational goal. Conducting award shows regularly can also effectively breed healthy
competition amongst the employees, and the issues of IT industry should be properly raised with
the government to overcome unhealthy politics and to promote the interest of the industry at
large.
