Question 1
1.1 Considering this, identify and critically discuss the external factors
(PESTL) triggering change at Tech SA. In your answer, incorporate relevant
theory and examples from the case study.
Introduction
Schein (1990) defined organisational culture as "the pattern of basic assumptions
that a group invents, discovers, or develops as it learns to cope with its problems of
