This task is very similar to what you did for P6/M3 but, for this one, you are considering the future potential impact of 3 external factors (from economic, political, legal and social factors) on ONE of your organisations. You are also considering in this task the impact on all the things you have discussed in the unit: the business activities; organisational strategy that would be necessary in the circumstances; the internal organisation structure; the functional activities that take place and the different stakeholders of the organisation.

Below are some questions that will guide you to complete D2.
