Course Content

The Concept of the Business Environment
The business environment refers to the sum of all external and internal factors that influence an organisation's operations and decision-making processes. It is often divided into two main categories: the macro-environment (external factors) and the micro-environment (internal factors).

The Macro-Environment: PESTEL Analysis
The macro-environment consists of external factors that are beyond the control of an organisation but significantly impact its operations. A common tool for analysing the macro-environment is the PESTEL framework.

The Micro-Environment: Stakeholders and Competitive Forces
The micro-environment consists of internal factors and external stakeholders that directly influence an organisation.

The Impact of Globalisation on the Business Environment
Globalisation has transformed the business environment by increasing interconnectedness and competition. Organisations now operate in a global marketplace, where they must navigate cultural differences, exchange rate fluctuations, and international regulations.

The Role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to an organisation's commitment to operating in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner.

The Importance of Adaptability and Innovation
In a rapidly changing business environment, adaptability and innovation are key to long-term success. Organisations must be proactive in identifying trends and responding to changes in the external environment.
