Environmental Analysis

Types of Environments

  • Stable Environment: Simple, static, and low uncertainty.
  • Intermediate Environment: Can be simple, dynamic, and uncertain, or complex, static, and with intermediate uncertainty.
  • Turbulent Environment: Complex, dynamic, and highly uncertain.
  • Placid-Randomized Environment: Simplest type. Changes are slow, unforeseen, and operate independently of the organization. Resembles the classical market economy.
  • Placid-Cluster Environment: Slow changes, but with critical influence on the organization’s survival. Organizations tend to grow and centralize control.
  • Disturbed-Reactive Environment: More complex, with several organizations pursuing similar goals. Requires strategies considering market reactions, long-term goals, and competitor reactions. Stimulates decentralization.
  • Turbulent-Field Environment: Most dynamic and uncertain. Constant changes and interconnected elements. Organizations anticipate change by developing new products and services.

Specific Environment

  • Threat of new competitors (economies of scale, cost disadvantages, product differentiation, market conditions, capital costs, access to distribution channels, government policy)
  • Intensity of rivalry among existing competitors
  • Threat of substitute products
  • Bargaining power of customers
  • Bargaining power of suppliers

Forecasting Methods

Scenario Method

Defines a future state and indicates possible processes from present to future. A scenario is a hypothetical sequence of events, not a forecast, but a qualitative analysis of potential futures.

Delphi Method

A prospective technique for qualitative information about the future. Systematically gathers expert opinions, avoiding open discussion and its drawbacks.

Cross-Impact Method

Investigates interrelationships between scheduled events. Analyzes how the probability of one event varies depending on the occurrence of another. Positive impact: increased probability. Negative impact: decreased probability. No impact: probability remains constant.
