Books on PESTLE Analysis: What to Look For

Mar 20, 2017 by Kiesha Frue

External factors affect businesses, whether we like it not. These factors can be broken down into six categories which make up PESTLE analysis.

Plenty of information about PESTLE analysis exists online — in fact, a majority of it is available here.

But what about books about PESTLE analysis? It’s nice to have knowledge tucked away into our back pocket. And there are several books available — yet most are questionable.

We’ve located a couple authentic PESTLE analysis books, but first: what to look before being buying.

What to look for in books on PESTLE analysis

PESTLE analysis is used to highlight the effects of external forces on a business. Several books exist about PESTLE analysis, but not all are worth the money.

Before buying one of these books, do your research. Many are very short eBooks without much depth. They sometimes take articles readily available (on Wikipedia and other online sites) and stuff them together as a “new” product.

Specifically look out for:

The company or author: Without this person/people, the book would’ve never been made. But are they reputable? Or have you never heard of them before and can’t find information about them online?

The publication date: Assuming it’s available, how many years ago was the book published? The information may still be relevant. But older content has a higher chance of referencing old political laws or discussing important technology like Myspace. Clearly, we don’t want outdated references when doing PESTLE analysis.

The blurb: Otherwise known as the summary that explains what the reader will learn. Some PESTLE analysis books we’ve located have the same copy and paste summary on at least three “different” books. And it doesn’t even reference PESTLE! Stay clear of “mysterious” books like this.
