Organizational success and efficiency depend on the impact of internal and external forces. The organizations today have to be highly responsive to the changing market conditions to gain competitive advantage in the market. The external forces such as competition, changing and increasing customer demand, political and economic conditions have a direct impact on the performance and strategy planning of the organization. The internal forces include structure, culture, work processes, system, strategy and human resources, which should be changed depending on any external forces or have to be changed due to the growing inefficiency in one of the department.
