Read the following statements and choose your correct answer.
Assertion: Business environment is a complex phenomenon.
Reasoning: It is relatively easier to understand in parts but difficult to grasp in its totality.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Since business environment consists of numerous interrelated and dynamic conditions or forces which arise from different sources, it becomes difficult to comprehend at once what exactly constitutes a given environment. In other words, environment is a complex phenomenon that is relatively easier to understand in parts but difficult to grasp in its totality. For example, it may be difficult to know the extent of the relative impact of the social, economic, political, technological or legal factors on change in demand of a product in the market.
