Provide an example of each strategy decision level for a real-life organization.

2. Identify, describe, and provide an example for each of the six PESTEL components or forces in the broader macro-environment that affect organizations. For each of your examples, identify the trend, directionality (e.g., increasing or decreasing), and intensity.
