Learning Goal: I’m working on a business question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Identifying the needs of an organization is commonly done because the global business environment is constantly changing. While it seems like a miniscule business administration task, it is actually an involved and detailed task that leads the way to change. By identifying the needs, managers at each level of the organization can analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to develop potential strategies that will best position the company to achieve its mission and goals in the changing global business environment.
