ORGANIZATION'S ENVIRONMENT

1. the internal environment

e.g. staff , office technology, wage and finance

etc.

2. the micro environment

e.g. our external customer, agents and

distributors, suppliers , our competitors, etc.

3. the macro environment

e.g Political and legal forces, economic forces,

socio-cultural forces, and technological forces,

these are knows as pest factors

INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

All factors that are internal to the organization

are known as the “internal environment”.

They are generally audited by applying the ‘five

ms’ which are men money, machinery, materials,

and markets. The internal environment is as

important for managing change as the external

MICRO ENVIRONMENT

This environment influences the organistion directly.

It includes suppliers that deal directly and indirectly,

consumers and customers and other local stake

holders.

Micro trends to suggest small, but this can be

misleading. In this context, micro describes the

relationship between firms and the driving forces

that control the relationship. It is a more local

relationship, and the firm may exercise a degree

influence.

MACRO-ENVIRONMENT

This includes all factors that can influence and

organisation, but that are out of their direct control.

It is continuously changing and the company needs

to be flexible to adapt. There may be aggressive

competition and rivalry in a market.

Globalization means that there is always s the

threat of substitute products and new entrants. The

wider environment is also ever changing, and the

marketer needs to compensate for changes in

culture, politics, economics and technology.

AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS C

conclusion

Every business operates within two intersecting environments. One is the

"internal environment," which consists of the things that a business person

can control (such as the type of livestock or seed purchased, the feed or

fertility method used, the farming practices implemented). The other is the

"external environment," which is made up of the factors that affect a

business that a business owner cannot control (costs of materials, changes in

regulations, competitive activities, market changes).
