Task 1

1.1 Analyze the impact of external environmental factors on health and
social care organizations
An organization in social and healthcare is influenced by many factors in the
environment. The health factors that may influence the organization are his own working
as well as of his environment in which the organization is operating (Armstrong-Dailey
and Zarbock, 2011). There are also some of the inherent factors that influence the
working and the development of the organization in health and social sectors in the
economy. The external greatly affect the health of an individual such that s in the case of
the life style or the standard of living of the individual and also the social group and
support. These are the external factors that influence the working of the organization in a
very a different way the health and social care organization are affected by the following
external factors (Armstrong-Dailey and Zarbock, 2011).
The PESLE analysis, these are the factors which cannot be ignored by the organization as
they the factors which affect whole of the economy and which are external factors and
affect the organization and the internal factors as well:
Political factors:
Political factors also to a great extent affect the organization in health and social care as
that the government regulation affects the working and the performance of the company
(Armstrong-Dailey and Zarbock, 2011). The ideology is also changes with the government
changes as different rules, policies, and procedure are laid down by the government
which may be either favorable as well as unfavorable for the organization as a whole and
even for other organization in the industry as well

Economic factors:
The economic influences the organization is
very dominant way and also defines the
competition in the industry. The economic
defines the various resources available in the
economy, the GDP growth rate, inflation,
interest rate etc (Informatics for Health &
Social Care, 2010). These are the systematic
risk of the economy which cannot be cancelled
and the effect all the organization in the same
industry.

Continue
Sociological factors:
The industry in the health sector is highly
influenced by the way of the demographic
changes which increases the demand of the
service of this type of product. It also shows
the way in the change in the trend in the
lifestyle of the people, work, and the way that
they live their living. The need for the health
care organization is always in the demand as
they society need medical service on a
perpetual basis (Informatics for Health &
Social Care, 2010).

Continue
Technological factors:
Technological factors also affect the
organization and technological obsolesce.
They are not in technical way they can also in
the form of real obsolesce than nominal
obsolesce. The organization makes sure that
their technology is innovative so that they can
create dominance in the market share in the
market.

Continue
Legislative factors:
The legal factors also affect the organization
in a very varied way. The legal factors put
constraint on the working of the organization
(Informatics for Health & Social Care, 2010).
They also affect the entire of the organization
as it makes sure that organization is working
towards the economy growth and prosper.

1.2 Analyzing the ways in which organizations respond to the impact of
external factors, including those of external stakeholders:
The external factors may affect the organization in a very
discrete and in continues manner. It makes the organization
to do strategic analysis of the environment so that it can
predict the future uncertainties to an extent. Although all of
the external factors cannot be examined and forecasted but
not all them need to be. The factors that may significantly
affect the working of the organization may be looked into
and further assumption must be made. Every organization in
the economy has to face the uncertainties and the risk,
although with good strategic planning and with the help of
cultural values and the core competency, the organization
can reduce risk to a great level (Kaye and Franey, 2010). It
also gives the organization to change the threat into an
opportunity for the organization.

Continue
They are able to handle the challenges of the external environment
with great flexibility and are also able to make the adjustment
without any affect in the current working of the organization. There
are certain ways and the factors that show the responsiveness of the
organization to respond to the external factors of the economy y
that affect the organization as a whole and the internal factors as
well. key factors that help to determine the responses are as follows
like managerial philosophy of the manager as in relation with other
employee of the organization, the life cycle or the operation cycle of
the organization, profitability index etc (Kaye and Franey, 2010). so
as a whole the organization should make sure that the no matter
what the external source threat may come they must be always be
able to make the best out it in such a way that the common is not
being able defend the challenges but also the translate them to the
benefit of the organization.

Continue
Thus the fact, that matter is that how an organization
responds to the external challenges of the environment. The
organization core competency makes the firm very strong for
any kind of turbulence to affect him as a matter of fact if the
employee of the organization a ready for the change and
they create a shared vision. It help the organization to make
sure that the employee are dedicated enough to meet the
organization goal as well as the individual goal. The
corporate culture is what that separates the two firm in the
same industry it shows the value, relationship, and the
relationship of the employee with its manager (Kaye and
Franey, 2010). An organization with a good corporate culture
shows that the decision in the organization is took after
consulting with the employee of the organization.

The various internal factors other than this
core factors also helps the organization to
face and t respond to this changes but those
may differ according to the different industry
the organization is operating, the
accountability factors, the hierarchy in the
firm, the formal and the informal
communization among the different level of
the department within the same origination,
etc (Lagarde, 2012).
