Useful content but about what you termed the internal environment, isn’t it the external micro/operating environment?
it’s external in the sense that it include factors that are outside the environment but are closely related to the business. Although the business doesn’t have complete influence over those factors it can make decisions which can lessen any negative effect resulting from any of those factors but is not responsible for that factor. For instance, a business is not responsible for how a supplier operates but can choose to have multiple suppliers to lessen the effect of one supplier failing to supply the goods.
*** factors that are outside the business***
