Which of the following factors is NOT included in the PEGS acronym?

  1. Political

  2. Physical

  3. Economic

  4. Government

The correct answer is: Political

The correct understanding of the PEGS acronym includes four key factors: Political, Economic, Government, and Social. In this context, the acronym is used to evaluate various dimensions of a situation or organization in relation to external environments that can affect them. Regarding your selection, the factor that is NOT part of PEGS is indeed the Physical dimension. While the acronym captures essential aspects related to governance, economics, and society, it does not encompass physical factors. Physical aspects can certainly influence political and economic conditions but do not fit into the framework represented by PEGS. By noting the distinctions between each of these factors, it becomes clearer why “Political” is an appropriate component of PEGS, as it addresses how governance and policy affect the broader context, while "Physical" would pertain to tangible elements of space and environment, which fall outside the intended scope of the acronym.
