business organization models
My daughter has this asignment and asked my help:?
QUESTION
The mega-environment, or general environment, is the segment of the external environment that reflects the broad conditions and trends in the societies within which an organization operates.
Criticall review the general environment that impact an organization, chosen by you, and evaluate on the steps taken by the management to cushion those that have adverse effect on the organization.
I have no idea what this really means: I suspect there is some kind of business school analytical model that needs to be applied. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!
another example of an ‘industry’ that has been adversely affected by a trend that is has to takes steps to address:
The education system being the industry, and cellphones being the threat…. iPods are another external impact.
On one hands schools have to avert students from texting each other answers nad in the case of the iPod, instructors are podcasting their lessons.
The questions is one of broad strokes. Microwaves changes the way we eat, but it took us some time to figure out how it did. think along those lines and you’re there.
