Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three dimensions of an organization's environment are complexity (referring to the degree of variety and differentiation in the organization's external environment), volatility (referring to the stability or predictability of the external environment), and capacity (referring to the resources and capabilities of the organization itself). Option A includes adaptability and employee-orientation, which are important factors but are not the primary dimensions of an organization's environment. Option C includes replaceability and product-orientation, which are not commonly considered dimensions of an organization's environment. Option D includes flexibility and employee-orientation, which again are important but not the main dimensions of the environment. Option E includes volatility and adaptability, but lacks the third dimension of capacity.
