Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The economic, technological, socio-cultural, and political-legal factors are components of the general environment. This environment encompasses the broad, external conditions and trends that can affect an organization, unlike the task or specific environment which includes entities directly connected to the organization such as customers, suppliers, and competitors. The internal environment refers to the conditions within the organization itself, and the term "indigenous" is not commonly used in this context.
