Problem
It is critical that leaders in the healthcare industry understand the external and internal environmental factors that can/will affect their organization. Understanding these environments can help to determine how to best situate the organization in the short term and remain adaptable to survive the long term.
How might external and internal environmental factors influence the strategic plan and the organizational culture of a health organization? Be sure to give at least two examples of external and two examples of internal environmental factors. For only ONE example (either your external or internal example), which strategy or strategies might you use to ensure success in this environment?
