Section

A. The business organisation, its stakeholders and the external environment

Explore how businesses exist within and interact with their broader environment. This section covers the organisation’s purpose, types, and stakeholder landscape—including internal (e.g., employees), connected (e.g., suppliers), and external (e.g., regulators) groups. You’ll learn to analyse stakeholder influence through frameworks like Mendelow’s matrix, and assess how political, economic, social, technological, and sustainability factors shape strategic and operational decisions.
