Any business has to work in its environment – both internal and external – and is deeply affected by it. This business environment is very complex and dynamic. For any business to succeed – to survive indeed – there is a necessity for managers and strategists to not only identify and understand the changing environmental factors but also to anticipate and forecast those which could affect the business organisation. It is also crucial to take care of the various ethical issues involved in running a business. This book is an attempt to deal with the issues of business environment and ethics, and will be useful to the students as well practitioners of business management.
