Introduction
Businesses, like living beings, don’t operate alone. Just as a plant’s growth depends on sunlight, water, and weather, a business is affected by its surroundings- including people, laws, and trends. Adapting to these changes is key for business success.

Definition: Business Environment
- Bayard O. Wheeler:
“The total of all things external to a firm and industries that affect its organization and operations is called the Business Environment.” - William F. Glueck:
“Business Environment is the process by which strategists monitor economic, governmental, market, supplier, technological, geographic, and social settings to determine opportunities and threats to the firm.” - Barry M. Richman & Melvyn Copen:
“Environmental factors or constraints are largely, if not entirely, external and beyond the control of individual enterprises.”
