Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general environment includes factors that are outside of the organization's control but can still have an impact on its operations. These factors include political, economic, ecological, sociocultural, and regulatory conditions. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A (task environment) refers to factors that are directly related to the organization's activities, such as suppliers, customers, and competitors. Option B (operational environment) is similar to the task environment but includes factors that are internal to the organization, such as employees and technology. Option D (immediate environment) is not a commonly used term in strategic management literature.
