4. Environmental Scanning
Environmental scanning is a part of SWOT Analysis. Environment scanning is a
process in which the organization undertakes a study to identify the opportunities
and threats in an industry.
The information obtained through environmental scanning can be used by
leaders to design new objectives and strategies or modify existing objectives and
strategies.
An organization must be agile in responding to environmental challenges while
making most of the available opportunities.
