Assignment:

In a maximum of two double$-$spaced pages $($plus at least $8$ relevant references, and exhibits as needed$),$ address the following two tasks:

Identify the most critical PESTEL factor for your client organization $($Halo Property Management LLC & Hastings Construction Inc.$)$

and explain why it is the most critical driving force in the external environment for your client. Explain how it enables opportunities and$/$or generates threats. Be sure to be specific; for instance, if you were to focus on a legal force you would need to focus on a specific law or regulation. It is OK to include two forces but do not exceed two, in order to focus on what is most critical and strategic. In order to fully respond to this part, you will need to conduct a basic analysis of all PESTEL forces and you are encouraged to include a list of specific examples for each PESTEL force in an exhibit.

Analyze consequences of the critical external driving force for your client. Thoroughly research and analyze the critical driving force that you have identified. Generate a briefing that includes relevant citations of evidence from legitimate sources, such as sources you find through CSUMB Library resources and trusted industry publications. Base your work on evidence from at least eight $(8)$ relevant, legitimate sources cited with APA citations and$/$or hyperlinks. Identify the key takeaways for your client in terms of the opportunities and$/$or threats generated by the critical driving force and your preliminary assessment of how your client should respond. Conclude this part with a set of $3-5$ questions your team should consider asking the client to better understand how the client perceives the critical driving force$($s$).$
