What is External Environment?
The external environment of a business refers to all of the factors, conditions, and influences that exist outside the organization that has the potential to impact its operations and performance. The external environment can be divided into two main categories: the microenvironment and the macroenvironment.
The microenvironment consists of factors that are directly relevant to the day-to-day operations of the organization, such as suppliers, customers, competitors, and regulatory bodies. These factors have a direct impact on the business and can be easily influenced by the actions of the organization.
The macroenvironment consists of broader societal factors that have an indirect impact on the organization, such as economic conditions, political and legal factors, social and cultural factors, technological developments, and natural environment factors. These factors are typically out of the control of the organization but can have a significant impact on its operations and performance.
Understanding the external environment is important for businesses because it allows them to identify opportunities and threats, adapt to changes, and make informed decisions. Businesses need to monitor and analyze their external environment in order to anticipate and respond to changes and challenges. This can be done through techniques like PESTEL analysis, which examines the impact of Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal factors on an organization.
