Evaluation of a companys external and internal environments is vital in order for managers to be able to formulate strategy. But how do these two environments interact? Is one more important than the other?
For your initial post, address the following:
Explain the relationship between a companys external environment and its internal environment
Assess which one has a greater impact on company strategy
Share an example from personal experience or news media that supports your argument. For example: Consider a hike in gas prices. In an industry dependent on gas, severe increases in price cause them to make changes internally, supporting the argument for the external environment.
Respond to at least two of your peers by respectfully explaining why you agree or disagree with their assessment of which environment has a greater impact on company strategy, and evaluate the strength of their supporting examples ability to support their argument.
