File name | The Impact of the External Environment on Organizational Performance in Research Institutions in Cameroon |
File Description | The
environment in which organizations operate is a complex, multi-focus dynamic
and has a far-reaching effect on such organization. The environment tends,
shape the outlook, and goal of the organization by placing constraints on them.
External environment provides organizations with inputs which they transform to
outputs through internal processes and then the inputs are given back to the
environment. The external environment has an influence on firm performance
(Machuki and Aosa, 2011) because it provides both facilitating and inhibiting
influences on firm Performance. These influences likewise shape how the
organization defines it and how it articulates what is good and appropriate to
achieve (Hoskisson, Hitt, Wan and Yiu, 1999; Hitt, Ireland, and Hoskisson,
2011). How better an organization fits itself within the external environment
determines its performance because organizations are environment dependent and
serving (Summer, 1980; Ansoff and McDonnell, 1990). Organization fit in the
external environment using strategic responses. However, the responses vary
from one organization to another thus leading to variations in performance. For
organisations to survive, justify their existence, by enhancing performance and
effectiveness, they must monitor, adapt and relate very closely with their
environment. In addition, the sector provides impetus towards achievement of
millennium development goals (MDG) on eradication of extreme poverty, hunger
and global partnerships for development both in the medium and long term
(Vision, 2035). These developments in the external environment have direct
impact on their performance. |
