The study of political considerations reflects on how federal policy impacts the efficiency of the
app. Take Uber as an example. It's absolutely fine in the UK and unconstitutional in others like
France or Hungary because the government is seeking to protect the interests of official taxi

Economic parameter explains how the environment can be dangerous or advantageous to the
company. For example, if the company releases a smartphone app for the Indian market,
Android is the right choice to cover the mass market segment and not iOS. Otherwise,

States. Go internationally, then...................................................................................................11
Last but not least, the App must be legitimate. Company must ensure that it does not advertise
services or goods that are deemed unlawful in a region. For eg, the seemingly secure and useful
Google Street View technology is prohibited in Greece for "infringing privacy."........................11

As an intermediate move, the organization would need to know all the functionality of every
potential app. Competitive analysis can continue to identify the attributes of rivals. If some
