Understanding the Business Environment and its Impact on Education
The business environment encompasses all external and internal factors that influence a business. It is dynamic, multi-faceted, and requires adaptability for survival. Businesses interact closely with the environment, with limited capacity to influence it. The components of the internal environment include organizational goals, resources, and human capital. External factors, both micro and macro, such as political, economic, and social elements, also play a crucial role. Additionally, the educational environment in India is closely linked to the business sector, with business supporting educational activities for human capital development. Education, in turn, contributes to business growth and professionalism.
