Environmental factors are identified and explained as elements within an economic, physical, cultural, demographic, technological or political environment, which has an affect and significantly impacts the operations, growth and survival of an organization or business (Berkowitz, 2016). There are two types of environmental factors: internal which include objectives, value systems or internal relationships of business, and external that can include technological and economic factors (Farooq, 2020). It is important to note that companies do not have control on the external environment. Ignoring any type of environmental factors results in a decrease in the success of a business (Farooq, 2020).
Environmental factors for the example “company clinics that deal with employee medical problems”, open a few options to consider and account for. The first that is deemed essential would be the establishment of better relationships that are made between employees and the company they work for (Bush, 2016). Another factor to consider is significant loss prevention when employees are offered health care facilities within the organization, in the case “Toyota” (Bush, 2016).
A factor to consider when taking account for success factors of urgent care facilities and after-hours clinic a social factor which analyzes the demographic characteristics of a population (Berkowitz, 2016). This will allow full examination of the geographic markets that would be required for the implementation of the urgent care facilities within each community (Berkowitz, 2016).
