The two prototype contracts will begin operating in 2015-2016 for a two year trial, before a general new contract is introduced for everyone, in consequence it is difficult to predict a full impact on our organisation until the trial is finished. This requires contract monitoring for the time being. 2.5.2 Due to providing assurance and reporting to the commissionaires in line with CQC and GDC requirements, our practice has been forced to invest over £100000 to meet mandatory standards by the end of 2012.

Learner enrolment number EBO3559………………………………………… Name of tutor Fiona Stuart-Wilson ……………………………… Work Based Assignment M5.10 – Understanding the organisational Environment “Be able to analyse how an organisation is affected by the macro environment” 1.1 Chambers PESTLE analysis (please see appendix 1) Political 1.2 Various factors in the political arena have had and will continue to have a huge impact on chambers and the way it conducts its business. Reduced expenditure on public funding is high on the government’s agenda (and I will go into this in more detail later in the assignment) and it is safe to say it will have an impact on chambers income and future direction. Chambers is well placed to deal with this though as we have made additions both in terms of staffing and barristers who do not practice within the affected area to make up the short fall. 1.3 This may be altered in some way by a change in governmental leadership, which could be anticipated in the next year with the general election looming. However with more and more of the UK’s power being transferred to Brussels and the outside influence that the EU has on the UK legal system, it could mean that there is more work for chambers to pick up due to changes to...

...PESTLE analysis PESTLE ANALYSIS Summary South Korea has been politically stable since becoming a democratic state. However, its relationship with North Korea continues to present a strong challenge. South Korea fell into a brief financial crisis in 1997 due to structural weakness in the banking sector, however strong economic and financial reforms quickly countered the downturn and put the country back on a growth path by the following year. With the opening up of markets after the financial crisis in 1997, the country became one of the largest technology markets in the world. As far as social issues are concerned, the country has low population growth and fertility rates, leading to an ageing population. Furthermore, the country has a highly qualified labor force, which makes it possible to both produce and commercialize advanced technologies. The country is also well equipped with extensive broadband network and telecommunication facilities. Legal procedures in the country are time consuming and complex, which makes it very difficult for foreign investors. The environmental scenario of the country is characterized by the breach of emission standards, which is reaching unreasonable limits in spite of its relatively small area and population in comparison to other countries.

This report is a licensed product and is not to be photocopied OVERVIEW Catalyst This profile analyzes the political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental (PESTLE) structure in the UK. Each of the PESTLE factors is explored on four parameters: current strengths, current challenges, future prospects, and future risks. Summary Key findings The UK has a strong democratic system, but differences between coalition partners in the incumbent government pose a challenge The UK adheres to a democratic, parliamentary system of governance known as the Westminster system. This system ensures adequate distribution of power between the executive branch led by the prime minister, the bicameral legislature and the judiciary. Growing ideological differences between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats in the current government is making the coalition vulnerable. Tensions between pro-Europe Liberal Democrats and euroskeptic Conservatives continue to plague British politics. Further, conflicting views on issues such as welfare reforms, immigration and the economy are straining relations. The UK economy is developed, but rising government debt...
