BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Environmental Forces and Environmental Scanning
The environment in which a business operates is a major consideration in determining
an organization’s design structure. Considerations such as uncertainty, procurement, and
competition are linked with the external environment. A company’s strategy and approach to
operations must also be aligned with the limitations of its external environment.
Definition of Terms
1. Environmental scanning means seeking for and sorting through data about the
environment
2. External business environment refers to the factors/elements outside
organization which may affect, either positively or negatively, the performance of
organization.
3. Internal business environment refers to the factors/elements within
organization which may affect, either positively or negatively, the performance of
organization

The various components of business environment are External environment
consists of those factors that affect a business enterprise from outside. External
environment includes shareholders, competitors, customers, society, government laws
and regulations, policies and technology.
4. Micro-environment includes those players whose decisions and actions have a
direct impact on the company. Production and selling of commodities are the two
important aspects of modern business. Accordingly, the micro-environment of
business can be divided.
5. Macro-environment is the condition that exist in the economy as a whole, rather
than in a particular sector or region. In general, the macro environment includes
trends in the gross domestic product (GDP, inflation, employment, spending, and
monetary and fiscal policy.
The various constituents of micro-environment are as under:
1. Suppliers of inputs: An important factor in the external micro-environment of a
firm is the supplier of its inputs such as raw materials and components.
Normally, most firms do not depend on a single supplier of inputs. To reduce risk
and uncertainty business firms prefer to keep multiple suppliers of inputs.
2. Customers: The people who buy and use a firm’s product and services are an
important part of external micro-environment. Since sales of a product or service
is critical for a firm's survival and growth, it is necessary to keep the customers
satisfied. A concern for customers’ satisfaction is essential for the success of a
business firms. Besides, a business firm has to compete with rival firms to attract
customers and thereby increase the demand and market for its product.
3. Marketing intermediaries: In the firm's external micro-environment, marketing
intermediaries play an essential role of selling and distributing its products to the
4
Learning Module for Organization and Management
final customers. Marketing provides an important link between a business firm
and its ultimate customers.
4. Competitors: Different firms in an industry compete for sale of their products.
This competition may be based on pricing of their products and non- price
competition through competitive advertising such as sponsoring some events to
promote the sale of different varieties and models of their products. Because of
liberalization and globalization of the Indian economy since the adoption of
economic reforms there has been a significant increase in the competitive
environment of business firms. Now, Indian firms must compete not only with
each other but also with foreign firms whose products can be imported. In
America, American firms faced a lot of competition from the Japanese firms
producing electronic goods and automobiles.
5. Publics: Finally, publics are an important force in external microenvironment.
Environmentalists, media groups, women’s associations, consumer protection
groups, local groups, Citizens Association are some important examples of
publics which have an important bearing on the business decisions of the firm.
The existence of various types of publics influences the working of business firms
and compels them to be socially responsible.
External Macro Environment
Apart from micro-environment, business firms face large external environmental forces.
An important fact about external macro environmental forces is that they are
uncontrollable by the management. Because of the uncontrollable nature of macro
forces a firm must adjust or adapt it to these external forces. These factors are:
1. Economic Environment: Economic environment includes all those forces
which have an economic impact on business. Accordingly, total economic
environment consists of agriculture, industrial production, infrastructure, and
planning, basic economic philosophy, stages of economic development, trade
cycles, national income, per capita income, savings, money supply, price level
and population.
2. Political-legal Environment: Business firms are closely related to the
government. The political- legal environment includes the activities of three
political institutions, namely, legislature, executive and judiciary which
usually play a useful role in shaping, directing, developing and controlling
business activities.
3. Technological Environment: Technological environment is exercising
considerable influence on business. Technology implies systematic application of
scientific or other organized knowledge to practical tasks or activities. Business
makes it possible for technology to reach the people in proper format.
4. Global or International Environment: Global environment plays an important
role in shaping business activity. With the liberalization and globalization of the
economy, business environment of an economy has become totally different
wherein it has to bear all shocks and benefits arising out of global environment.
5. Socio-cultural Environment: Social and cultural environment also
influences the business environment indirectly. These include people’s
attitude to work and wealth, ethical issues, role of family, marriage, religion
and education and also social responsiveness of business.
5
Learning Module for Organization and Management
6. Demographic Environment: The demographic environment includes the size
and growth of population, life expectancy of the people, rural-urban
distribution of population, the technological skills and educational levels of
labor force. All these demographic features have an important bearing on the
functioning of business firms.
7. Natural Environment: Natural environment influences business in diverse
ways. Business in modern times is dictated by nature. The natural
environment is the ultimate source of many inputs such as raw materials and
energy, which firms use in their productive activity. The natural environment
which includes geographical and ecological factors such as minerals and oil
reserves, water and forest resources, weather and climatic conditions are all
highly significant for various business activities.
8. Ecological Environment: Due to the efforts of environmentalists and
international organizations such as the World Bank the people have now
become conscious of the adverse effects of depletion of exhaustible natural
resources and pollution of environment by business activity. Accordingly, laws
have been passed for conservation of natural resources and prevention of
environment pollution. These laws have imposed additional responsibilities
and costs for business firms.
Internal Environment
The factors in internal environment of business are to a certain extent controllable
because the firm can change or modify these factors to improve its efficiency.
However, the firm may not be able to change all the factors. The various internal
factors are:
1. Value system: The value system of an organization means the ethical beliefs
that guide the organization in achieving its mission and objectives. It is a
widely acknowledged fact that the extent to which the value system is shared
by all in the organization is an important factor contributing to its success.
2. Mission and objectives: The business domain of the company, direction of
development, business philosophy, business policy etc. are guided by the
mission and objectives of the company. The objective of all firms is assumed
to be maximization of profit. Mission is defined as the overall purpose or
reason for its existence which guides and influences its business decision and
economic activities.
3. Organization structure: The organizational structure, the composition of the
board of directors, the professionalism of management etc. are important
factors influencing business decisions. The nature of the organizational
structure has a significant influence over the decision-making process in an
organization. An efficient working of a business organization requires that the
organization structure should be conducive for quick decision-making.
4. Corporate culture: Corporate culture is an important factor for determining the
internal environment of any company. In a closed and threatening type of
corporate culture the business decisions are taken by top level managers while
the middle level and lower level managers have no say in business decisionmaking. This leads to lack of trust and confidence among subordinate officials of
the company and secrecy pervades throughout the organization.
5. Quality of human resources: Quality of employees that is of human resources of
a firm is an important factor of internal environment of a firm. The
6
Learning Module for Organization and Management
characteristics of the human resources like skill, quality, capability, attitude
and commitment of its employees etc. could contribute to the strength and
weaknesses of an organization.
6. Labor unions: Labor unions collectively bargains with the managers for better
wages and better working conditions of the different categories of workers. For
the smooth working of a business firm good relations between management
and labor unions is required.
7. Physical resources and technological capabilities: Physical resources such
as, plant and equipment and technological capabilities of a firm determine its
competitive strength which is an important factor for determining its efficiency
and unit cost of production. Research and development capabilities of a
company determine its ability to introduce innovations which enhances
productivity of workers.
Specific Components of the External Business Environment
Stakeholders, Customers, Suppliers, Pressure groups, Organization’s investors or owners
and Employees.
Component of the Internal Business Environment
1. Resources – financial, physical, mechanical, technological, and human resources
must be subjected to internal analysis (SWOT)
What Is a SWOT Analysis?
A SWOT analysis is a technique used to determine and define your Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT). SWOT analyses can be applied to an
entire company or organization, or individual projects within a single department. Most
commonly, SWOT analyses are used at the organizational level to determine how closely a
business is aligned with its growth trajectories and success benchmarks, but they can also
be used to ascertain how well a particular project – such as an online advertising campaign
– is performing according to initial projections.

Porter’s Five Forces
Porter’s Five Forces analysis is a framework that helps analysing the level of
competition within a certain industry. It is especially useful when starting a new business
or when entering a new industry sector. According to this framework, competitiveness does
not only come from competitors. Rather, the state of competition in an industry depends on
five basic forces: threat of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of
buyers, threat of substitute products or services, and existing industry rivalry

PESTEL Analysis. A PESTEL analysis or PESTLE analysis (formerly known as PEST
analysis) is a framework or tool used to analyses and monitor the macro-environmental
factors that may have a profound impact on an organization’s performance. This tool is
especially useful when starting a new business or entering a foreign market. It is often used
in collaboration with other analytical business tools such as the SWOT analysis and
Porter’s Five Forces to give a clear understanding of a situation and related internal and
external factors. PESTEL is an acronym that stands for Political, Economic, Social,
Technological, Environmental and Legal factors.

Components of Environmental Scanning
1. Developing a competitive mindset – by seeking and sorting through data about
environment, you may be able to understand and predict the various changes,
opportunities and threats that may affect organizations in the future.
2. Considering future business scenarios – by realistic consideration of both worsecase scenario or unfavorable future conditions, as well as middle ground possible
conditions, you will have an idea or what to do in the future
3. Business prediction (also known as business forecasting) – is a method of
predicting how variables in the environment will alter the future of business. It
could be used in making decisions regarding offshoring, branching out locally,
and expanding or downsizing the company. However, the accuracy of such
business predictions cannot always be assured.
Benchmarking – the process of measuring or comparing one’s own products, services, and
practices with those of the recognized industry leaders in order to identify areas for
improvement.
