Business Environment

Question:

Which among the following is NOT a feature of the business environment?

Options:

Static nature

Relativity

Specific and general forces

Totality of external forces

Correct Answer:

Static nature

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- Static nature.

Static nature is not the feature of the business environment as business environment is dynamic.

Business environment is dynamic in that it keeps on changing whether in terms of technological improvement, shifts in consumer preferences or entry of new competition in the market.

 

OTHER OPTIONS

  • Relativity: Business environment is a relative concept since it differs from country to country and even region to region. Political conditions in the USA, for instance, differ from those in China or Pakistan. Similarly, demand for sarees may be fairly high in India whereas it may be almost non-existent in France.
  • Totality of external forces: Business environment is the sum total of all things external to business firms and, as such, is aggregative in nature.
  • Specific and general forces: Business environment includes both specific and general forces. Specific forces (such as investors, customers, competitors and suppliers) affect individual enterprises directly and immediately in their day-to-day working. General forces (such as social, political, legal and technological conditions) have impact on all business enterprises and thus may affect an individual firm only indirectly.
