IMPACT OF ORGANISATION ON EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
The interactions between companies and their external environment are reciprocal: the former affect the environment
through their goods and services while the latter influence the environment via their goods and services. If the
organisation can work smoothly which keeping in mind all the external environment factors that are affecting and
coming with the solutions, the organisation will able to not get affected by the factors. The organisation with different
strategic plan to overcome from the factors that influences them in operation and function. Also, they can keep in
mind about the all the internal factors as use strength and opportunities to convert all the weaknesses and threats.
This will create a huge impact on the external environmental factors.
