Organizations and the business environment - David J Campbell

This is a comprehensive core text covering the syllabus for units on business organizations and the external business environment. It is ideal for students studying these units on business degrees, HNC/Ds in business and finance and CMS and DMS courses. Organizations and the Business Environment is divided into three sections. Firstly a study of Business Organizations covers topics from organizational and managerial theories, objectives and culture to an examination of the various functions in a modern business organization. Then the Micro Business Environment looks at various aspects of a business in relation to its immediate environment i.e. its industry competitors, suppliers and customers. Finally the Macro Business Environment looks at the political environment, including a detailed study of the structures, objectives and influences of the European Union, then goes on to examine legal structures, macroeconomic, sociological and technological influences.
