A really important driving force is to make the company known amongst the customers, with a really good reputation that shows that the company is reliable. Also maybe even introducing the company to a new market and so opening new doors and being able to expand even more. Restraining Forces: There is the possibility that the costumers wont like the change that has been applied to the company and so they will stop liking the company. The company will start a decline. If entering into a new market the employees/staff will have to be familiar with the market or otherwise they will not be effective. 4.
