the linkage between an organization and its environment and keeps them alert
and informed.

identify the threats and opportunities before it. It serves as an early warning
signal allowing the company to develop appropriate responses.
(iii) Through environmental analysis an organization can
gain understanding of how the industry’s environment is being transformed.
(iv) The environment changes so fast that an
organization’s equilibrium with its environmental may be disturbed quickly.

causes of disequilibrium. Suitable changes can then be made to create the new
equilibrium.

inconsistent with forecast opportunities or threats. The analysis permits
elimination of unsuitable alternatives and thereby concentrate on more
important options.
(vi) Environmental analysis is essential for the
formulation of right strategies and for modification of existing strategies as
and when necessary.
