L3B2 - Business Environments

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Businesses operate within macro and micro environments that shape decisions and performance. Macro factors are broad and mostly outside control: political/legal, economic, sociocultural, technological, and ecological/physical influences. Micro factors are closer to the business and more manageable: competitors, suppliers, employees, shareholders, media, and customers. Understanding these environments helps companies anticipate threats and opportunities, adapt strategies, and communicate more effectively with buyers. Overall, knowing what affects a business makes you a more informed, trusted advisor.
