What does the ''D'' stand for in STEEPLED Analysis?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of Documents:

The STEEPLED analysis tool examines external macro-environmental factors: Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, Political, Legal, Ethical, and Demographic. The L5M5 study guide (p.55) confirms that ''D'' stands for Demographic, reflecting population trends, age structures, and workforce availability. This addition evolved from the earlier PESTLE model, later extended to STEEPLE and STEEPLED. Procurement professionals use this tool to assess external risks and opportunities that may affect supply markets and ethical sourcing.

I feel like I saw "D" as "Development" in a practice question, but that doesn’t sound right for STEEPLED.

I’m pretty confident that "D" stands for "Demographic," but I could be mixing it up with another framework.

I remember practicing a question about STEEPLED analysis, and I think "D" might refer to "Digital" or something related to technology.

Ah, the STEEPLED analysis! Let me think... I know the "D" is for one of the key factors, but I'm drawing a blank on the exact term. I'll make sure to review that concept before the exam.

The "D" is for Demographic factors, I believe. I remember learning about that in class, but I'll review my materials just to confirm.
