Question:
Context
The organisational environment consists of both internal and external factors. Scanning the environment is important for any organisation to assess the factors that will impact organisational success. Thorough environmental scanning will consider all possible factors affecting the business climate, which influences the companys day-to-day business operation. These factors may be internal; personnel/human resources, company structure, specialist skills and available resource/infrastructure or external; political climate, the economy, trends and natural phenomena.
The process of environmental scanning does not only identify threats, it also identifies opportunities existing in the environment and it is a vital step in strategic planning for hospitality organisations. Risks can either present a threat or an opportunity; its a double-sided concept. Therefore, it is the responsibility of any organisations to manage risks by devising appropriate risk treatment strategies.
