...CHAPTER 3: THE MACRO ENVIRONMENT MGMT 488 – STRATEGY AND POLICY OVERVIEW The macro environmental analysis is the first step in creating the Environmental Analysis. The macro environment examines the general business climate as it relates to the organization, but has nothing to do with the organization itself. The macro environment is primarily concerned with major issues and upcoming changes in the environment. The acronym for the macro analysis is “STEEP.” The five areas of interest are Socio-cultural and demographics; Technology; Economic conditions; Ecology and physical environment; and Political and legal. SOCIO-CULTURAL AND DEMOGRAPHICS Societal values and lifestyles change over time, and the most important of these should be discussed.

Some changes in values and lifestyles will be important to the industry...

What Fisher has brought to the Thunder, Brooks said, is toughness, a winning mentality and a desire to improve at age 37. "He's been in the league 16 years and he looks at himself as he's just starting in the league and he wants to keep getting better," Brooks said. "I don't think he realizes he's not going to get much better. He is what he is. But he still comes out every day to improve and it's refreshing "Definitely, it's shocking," guard Russell Westbrook said. "Usually I have four by myself." Brooks credited his team's ball movement, floor spacing and the extra week of practice it had after sweeping Dallas in the first round.
