Abstract

The role of environmental scanning. The key to effective strategy lies in matching a firm's capabilities with opportunities in the external environment. This gives environmental scanning a central role in the strategy process. However, the effectiveness of the scanning activity depends on the balanced judgment of the planners—you don't want too limited an analysis, nor do you want to waste time on irrelevant factors.
