Pestle Analysis
Political

Political stability is essential for any business or organization. Instability in political conditions has a significant impact on the success and performance of the MCHD. However, in this county political system is entirely political and robust stability exists. It means that political factors are in favor of the MCHD. Moreover, the barriers to entry in the health care department are low which means that business can quickly enter into the Health Department and gain significant market share (McDonough, 2017).

Economical

The economic factors have a significant impact on MCHD. The change in the economic environment will not have a substantial effect on business because currently, it will serve the Missouri which has a strong economy and minor economic shocks do not cause any considerable difference. So the industry does not need to worry about the economic ups and downs as the economy of Missouri is quite stable that is a definite point of the MCHD business (McDonough, 2017).

Social

Understanding consumer behavior is essential before launching the business because the consumer is the one who generates sales for the corporation or company. The MCHD has performed consumer analysis before initiating the transaction. The investigation has shown that the online health department is considered as the essential business and it has become quite popular with the peoples; therefore, the social factors are also in favor of the market (McDonough, 2017).

Technological of A Health Department Strategic Plan

The technological factor is such a factor which keeps on changing, and businesses have to adapt themselves according to the latest technologies. If the MCHD does not use the newest technology, then they will lose a competitive edge over their competitors. The technological factor will affect the MCHD as well. That is why the business will use the latest software and equipment to give a tough time to competitors. Also, the market will keep on upgrading its website.

Legal

The Government of Missouri is responsible for making rules and regulations for the businesses so that they can work according to the standards. The Government rules are in favor of the MCHD it means the legal factors will not harm the industry. However, the company has to provide such services to the customers who are according to laws of the government otherwise the authorities might take action. Many health care businesses now have a lot of issues reacted to the health and the legalization of the hospitals because of its good political image. On the other hand, many of the hospitals are now going towards the natural and organic side become of legal issues related to the health of the people (Watrous, 2016).

Environmental of A Health Department Strategic Plan

The business has to provide such services which do not harm the environment. The company was currently serving the facilities related to the health of the individuals which mean that the MCHD will not provide much harm to the situation. However, the packaging and shopping bags that will be available in the physical store can harm the environment. The company will use biodegradable bags to reduce the amount of plastic pollution in the land and oceans. Missouri is a well-developed country and the major part of the population is educated and is also conscious about the environment. So, the company should use sustainable products for the wellbeing of the situation that eventually help the MCHD to stand firm in the competitors (McDonough, 2017).

In the internal environment analysis, it is possible for an enterprise to come to an advanced level, to make improvements by finding weaknesses, to develop stronger aspects, to identify strengths, and to achieve a better point of management. In the context of the internal environment, the analysis is carried out by analyzing the resources the institution has all kinds of skills and by comparing them to the resources and abilities of current competitors. In this process, strengths and weaknesses are determined. There are three critical factors that strategy specialists may face in the internal environment analysis process (Dixon, 2013).

It is critical to be open-minded for strategic planners as it is in every profession group. Approaching events and situations with the question "How co-Strategic planners who approach the plan objectively strengthen the ties with the employees of the institution, and at the same time, it leads to the emergence of the strengths and weaknesses in their institution more easily. In the process of internal environment analysis, it is important to note that strategic.

In this data collection process, It is stated that the institution can benefit from factors such as financial and technical conditions,  employees'  relations,  the institution's relationship with the external world and its interactions,  internal and external sources (Frumkin, 2016).

One of the essential features that a good planner should have is intuition. Effective use of the strategic planner's intuition can be beneficial to the institution in every process, and it is also essential in the process of internal environment analysis (Kalayci, 2018).
