The five dimensions of business environment are: (1) Economic Environment - interest rates, inflation, GDP, household income; (2) Social Environment - customs, values, lifestyle, education levels; (3) Technological Environment - rate of technological change, innovation, R&D; (4) Political Environment - political stability, government attitude, central-state relations; (5) Legal Environment - laws, regulations, court rulings.
