The sources and the additional professional literature are quoted in the references at the end of the document. 2.3Executive Summary The present report deals with the analyses of the internal and external business environment, for this purpose the -PESTLE- analysis and the -Porters five forces model- were used.

The second part of the report is an in depth analysis of how global political changes affect Toyotas policies and decision-making. There is also an evaluation of the effectiveness of the company's response and the demonstration of areas for improvement.
