There are many forces at work that a person will need to respond to in order to make it safely back to port. Just like this tiny ship, today’s organizations and their managers are faced with a significant amount of factors that require an immediate response, often in the form of organizational change.

The Internal Environment
The internal environment of an organization refers to events, factors, people, systems, structures, and conditions inside the organization that are generally under the control of the company. The company’s mission statement, organizational culture, and style of leadership are factors typically associated with the internal environment of an organization. As such, it is the internal environment that will influence organizational activities, decisions, and employee behavior and attitudes. Changes in the leadership style, the organization’s mission, or culture can have a considerable impact on the organization.
