Business
environment influences business management. The critical elements of business
environment often interact with the critical elements of business management.
The critical elements of business management are planning, direction,
organization, control or coordination, staffing and supervision and evaluation.
Management at all the levels, top, middle as well as supervisory, is concerned
with these critical elements to a certain degree. Similarly, these very
critical elements are the concerns of the management that specializes in
different functions such as production, finance, marketing, purchase, inventory
control, personnel, public relations, research and development etc.
Management,
at all the levels of specialized functions, is influenced by the critical
elements of economic environment. For example, when an industry faces business
recession, the management may decide to cut down the rate of production or to
pile up inventory accumulation. When the market is being invaded by an
increasing number of closely substitutable products, the management may decide
to go in for aggressive advertisement or cut-throat competition. When the
financial institutions start interfering too much with the day-to-day business
operations of a firm, the firm's management may decide to depend exclusively on
its own internal funds rather than borrowed capital. When the government
enforces minimum wage legislations and other social security measures for all
permanent workers, the management may decide to recruit only casual laborers
through a labor contractor.
