Hence a company should know exactly what its customer wants and also segregate customers according to needs of the customers and then offer their products to the customers
- Employees – Employees are another important micro economic factor which the company should take into account because a company can be as good as its employees. So if top management of the company is good but employees are not efficient and customer friendly then no matter how good the idea and policy of the top management of the company the idea and policy will be a failure.
- Investors – Investors are another important micro economic factor because all good companies are listed in stock market and if the company does not take care of investors’ interest than chances are investors will not invest into the company and if investors do not invest money into the company then company will not be able to grow as every company requires funds for expansion of the business.
- Competitors – In this age of competitiveness, competitors are also an important factor because if the company does not pay attention to its competitors than chances are they will eat into the business of the company. Hence company should have a proper strategy to counter any competition for both existing products as well as future products which company is planning to produce or sell.
