Technological Elements in Environmental Analysis
The external environment comprises forces existing outside an organisation that are largely
uncontrollable (Andaleeb & Hasan, 2017; Wiid, Cant & Dilotsotlhe, 2024). Businesses must
monitor these forces to anticipate changes and plan strategically. The technological environment
is a subdivision of the external environment, characterised by continuous innovation and rapid
change. It includes advancements in digital infrastructure, automation, artificial intelligence, and
online platforms, all of which can reshape how firms operate, compete, and deliver value. While
organisations cannot control these technological forces, they can strategically respond to leverage
opportunities and mitigate threats (Abadi, 2018; Toman, 2011).
