Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Green Septic and Water Systems Inc. is performing an environment scan by monitoring demographic and labour market trends as well as technological and IT changes. This type of scan looks at the external environment to identify opportunities and threats, as opposed to just focusing on the competitive landscape (option A). While strategic planning (option C) may involve environmental scanning, it is not clear from the passage if the company is currently engaged in this type of activity. Finally, while the company may be monitoring the labour market, it is only one aspect of the broader environment in which it operates, so option D is not as accurate as option B.
