This external environment consists of everything outside an organization’s boundaries that might affect it. Not surprisingly, the external environment plays a major role in determining the success or failure of any organization. Managers must therefore have a complete and accurate understanding of their environment and then strive to operate and compete within it. Of course, businesses can also influence their environments. To better explain the environment of business, we begin by discussing organizational boundaries, and then we introduce the concept of multiple organizational environments. Quite simply, an organizational boundary is that which separates the organization from its environment. But whereas boundaries were once relatively easy to identify, they are becoming increasingly complicated and hard to pin down.
