The aspects of the environment to which the organizations are sensitive to and must respond to. Is anything not part of the organization itself. The environment provides puts such as capital, resources and labour. All organizations exist and relate to the environment that affects their operation. The organizational environment therefore is a vital element that influences the nature of policy, administrative reforms or changes or any program of planned change. Contemporary researchers and experts now regard organizational environment and the challenges of dealing with them as absolutely critical or crucial to analyzing and leading organizations. Members of an organization often enact its environment. In other words, the members construct, rearrange, single-out and demolish many objective fixtures of their surroundings. Managers of an organization therefore consciously or unconsciously choose which issues to pay attention to and what to try to change.
