1. organizational environment denotes internal and external environmental factors influencing organizational activates and decision making.

Every organization, whether business or non-business, has its environment. The organizational environment is always dynamic and ever-changing.

Changes today are so frequent and every change brings so many challenges that managers and leaders of the organization need to be vigilant about the environmental changes. The environment of an organization consists of its surroundings – anything that affects its operations, favorably or unfavorably.

Environment embraces such abstract things as an organization’s image and such remote visible issues as economic conditions of the country and political situations.

The environmental forces abstracts and visible need careful analysis. The systematic and adequate analysis produces the information necessary for making judgments about what strategy to pursue.

Managers cannot make appropriate and sound strategy simply based on their guesses and instincts. They must use relevant information that directly flows from the analysis of their organization’s environment.

y the word “environment” we understand the surroundings or conditions in which a particular activity is carried on.

And we know that organization is a social entity that has a hierarchical structure where all necessary items are put together and they act within it to reach the collective goal.

Organizations or more specific business organizations, and their activates are always being affected by the environment. In an organization, every action of the management body is influenced by the environment.

I'm curious, how is the order of clustered column charts decided? In the below chart (sorry for trimming off the legend/axis but it's sensitive information) all the values are coming from the column 'Count', with the clusters based on the value in the adjacent column (Variable). I have it ordered descending by the 'Count' column. It must use some logic to decide which cluster goes first. I've done some quick calculations and it's not the sum of the values or the average of the values, so what is it based on?
