The environment is important to executives because there is an organization influenced to a great extent by the environment (Lesson 1 Chapter 3). Therefore, executives ignoring the environment can lead to the designing of inappropriate strategies or mismanagement of sudden situations of crisis like the current pandemic situation of COVID-19. The environment is also important to executives because resources are provided by the environment to ensure that goods and services can be created by organizations with these resources (Lesson 1 Chapter 3).
