SLEPT Analysis
SLEPT is a business tool used to study the macro-
environmental factors. It is an acronym for political,
economic, social, technological, legal and environmental
factors. Let’s see how each of these factors impacts the
country.
Political Factors
• The political risk in Singapore is quite low. In fact, the Political
And Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) states that the
country enjoys the lowest political risk in the continent. It is a
democratic country. The people elect representatives to lead
the nation. Since its independence, they cherished relative
political stability. Today, the stability has translated to peace
and a better standard of living. Moreover, It has transformed
into improved business opportunities for Singapore.
• However, there have been reports about restriction of free
speech for opposition parties in Singapore. It is said that the
value of free speech for the parties is limited. The defamation
laws require opposition parties to be careful that political
comments do not lead to costly defamation suits or
imprisonment.
Economic Factors
• The economy of Singapore is a vibrant free-market economy. It is
developing at a very fast pace. The country’s per-capita income is
the highest in ASEAN. A corruption-free environment supports the
business sector. It is among the most competitive countries. The
educated and motivated workers strengthen it. The legal and
financial business framework helps as well.
• Recently, the government has invested in diversifying the economy.
As a result, the tourism, pharmaceutical, and many other industries
have flourished. One of the main reasons behind the success is its
strategic geographic location. The government is an imperative and
active player. It owns substantial productive assets. Cheaper labour
cost from neighbouring countries helps Singapore save a lot of
costs.
• Some constraints on Singapore’s economic performance are the
following:
• Labor shortages
• Rising labor costs
• Declines in productivity
Social Factors
• Socially, Singapore is like any other Eastern country. It still
follows traditional family values. It is true that the younger
generation has the tendency to follow western culture and
values. The residents work hard and fulfil the materialism
desire. This urge to do well has increased nation productivity.
The business sectors can, therefore, expect higher
purchasing power from customers. Reports suggest that most
Singaporeans dislike blue collar jobs like construction.
• Literacy rate in the country is very high. Primary schooling is
compulsory in Singapore. Parents must ensure children’s
regular attendance. Good command of English and Chinese
languages gives Singaporeans an advantage. It helps to
attract international trade and foreign investment.
Technological Factors
• We can see that one of the main reasons behind the change
in lifestyle and quality of life is the technological advancement.
• As you might have guessed, the internet plays a role in
Singapore’s advancement. It eased communication and
increases connectivity. The cost and time of conducting
business lowered. It also boosted the social networking. The
residents could easily connect to the rest of the world.
• The IT infrastructure in Singapore is praise-worthy. The
penetration rate for household broadband internet is over
70%. E-commerce and eB2Cmodels have flourished in turn.
More than 10Mbps of broadband internet service is available.
The widespread IT infrastructure has encouraged
multinational companies to set up regional operations in
Singapore. The government is also moving towards an
electronic government era.
Environmental Factors
• The Ministry of the Environment and Anti-Pollution Unit works
relentlessly to maintain air quality and other environmental factors.
Pollution from the transportation is the key problem in Singapore’s
urban areas. There was a time when Singapore was among countries
with the highest level of industrial carbon dioxide emissions.
• Singapore lost almost 30% of its mangrove area. Many species are in
danger of extinction.
• The Water Pollution Control and Drainage Act helps control water
quality. One of the major concerns for Singaporeans is that the country
does not have enough water to support their needs. Pollution from the
industrial byproducts like oil increases the problem. As a solution, water
is recycled after desalination.
• As there is a lack of water resources, Singapore is dependent on
Malaysian supplied water. A local brand called NEWater supplies
sewage water after purifying it using dual-membrane. More solutions to
this problem are needed.
Thank you!

  • 13. SLEPT Analysis SLEPT is a business tool used to study the macro- environmental factors. It is an acronym for political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors. Let’s see how each of these factors impacts the country.
  • 14. Political Factors • The political risk in Singapore is quite low. In fact, the Political And Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) states that the country enjoys the lowest political risk in the continent. It is a democratic country. The people elect representatives to lead the nation. Since its independence, they cherished relative political stability. Today, the stability has translated to peace and a better standard of living. Moreover, It has transformed into improved business opportunities for Singapore. • However, there have been reports about restriction of free speech for opposition parties in Singapore. It is said that the value of free speech for the parties is limited. The defamation laws require opposition parties to be careful that political comments do not lead to costly defamation suits or imprisonment.
  • 15. Economic Factors • The economy of Singapore is a vibrant free-market economy. It is developing at a very fast pace. The country’s per-capita income is the highest in ASEAN. A corruption-free environment supports the business sector. It is among the most competitive countries. The educated and motivated workers strengthen it. The legal and financial business framework helps as well. • Recently, the government has invested in diversifying the economy. As a result, the tourism, pharmaceutical, and many other industries have flourished. One of the main reasons behind the success is its strategic geographic location. The government is an imperative and active player. It owns substantial productive assets. Cheaper labour cost from neighbouring countries helps Singapore save a lot of costs. • Some constraints on Singapore’s economic performance are the following: • Labor shortages • Rising labor costs • Declines in productivity
  • 16. Social Factors • Socially, Singapore is like any other Eastern country. It still follows traditional family values. It is true that the younger generation has the tendency to follow western culture and values. The residents work hard and fulfil the materialism desire. This urge to do well has increased nation productivity. The business sectors can, therefore, expect higher purchasing power from customers. Reports suggest that most Singaporeans dislike blue collar jobs like construction. • Literacy rate in the country is very high. Primary schooling is compulsory in Singapore. Parents must ensure children’s regular attendance. Good command of English and Chinese languages gives Singaporeans an advantage. It helps to attract international trade and foreign investment.
  • 17. Technological Factors • We can see that one of the main reasons behind the change in lifestyle and quality of life is the technological advancement. • As you might have guessed, the internet plays a role in Singapore’s advancement. It eased communication and increases connectivity. The cost and time of conducting business lowered. It also boosted the social networking. The residents could easily connect to the rest of the world. • The IT infrastructure in Singapore is praise-worthy. The penetration rate for household broadband internet is over 70%. E-commerce and eB2Cmodels have flourished in turn. More than 10Mbps of broadband internet service is available. The widespread IT infrastructure has encouraged multinational companies to set up regional operations in Singapore. The government is also moving towards an electronic government era.
  • 18. Environmental Factors • The Ministry of the Environment and Anti-Pollution Unit works relentlessly to maintain air quality and other environmental factors. Pollution from the transportation is the key problem in Singapore’s urban areas. There was a time when Singapore was among countries with the highest level of industrial carbon dioxide emissions. • Singapore lost almost 30% of its mangrove area. Many species are in danger of extinction. • The Water Pollution Control and Drainage Act helps control water quality. One of the major concerns for Singaporeans is that the country does not have enough water to support their needs. Pollution from the industrial byproducts like oil increases the problem. As a solution, water is recycled after desalination. • As there is a lack of water resources, Singapore is dependent on Malaysian supplied water. A local brand called NEWater supplies sewage water after purifying it using dual-membrane. More solutions to this problem are needed.
