Offering customers high standards of quality products are essential to meet M&S requirements. M&S are known for delivering word class quality products.
RELATION TO TECHNOLOGICAL FACTOR:
Media played major role of communicating new fashion to the customers. This knowledge can be communicated to the designers and producers. So the the manufacturers in the far east can be aware of the current fashion trends in UK. Technology these days are even more quickly copied than before. More over due to the transportation speed a shipment of stock from a country in far Asia will only take a few days instead of a preview time period of over a month.
WEAKNESS INTER RELATION TO POLITICAL FACTOR:
European committee decision to permit free flow of trading among them selves and other countries under foreign trade regulations make companies to import their products over time easier than before. M&S competitors took advantage of its higher cost structure and bit off its market shares.
WEAKNESS INTER RELATION TO ECONOMIC FACTOR:
M&S competitors are specialized in niche markets an consumers focus which makes them provide a much better consumers satisfaction. They prefer to import their products from abroad for cost savings. This fact put M&S in a cost disadvantage for a precieved higher quality.

Business in modern days as now have to fulfill all the environmental criteria for a successful organization in its own field of trades. And have to be very care full how they maintain their business environment to successfully compete in this complex market.
