Abstract

In my formal research I will create a table where at least three (3) organizational pressures and at least three (3) environmental pressures in the organization are illustrated and rank those pressures according to the their influence. I will describe in detail the environmental and organizational pressures that exist in the organization and how they have evolved over time. I will explain how the identified environmental and organizational pressures impact the company from a financial perspective. I will explain how the identified environmental and organizational pressures impact you personally and/or the other employees of the company. I will assess how the organization has reacted to the organizational and environmental pressures identified in Criterion 1. My research will propose at least one (1) strategy that could be utilized to reduce one (1) of the environmental pressures identified in Criterion 1 and at least one (1) strategy that could be utilized to reduce one (1) of the organizational pressures identified in Criterion 1.
