6. External influences
External influences or external factors are the issues that are out of the business control. there are several external factors in an organization that may bring major effects, for my case the factors that may affect me are as follows;
Competition- in Oman, a lot of fitness centers are available and they are well established and known, to me it might be a great risk or it as well might take me time to gain a lot of clients. since gyms are in high demand, a lot of people open up different centers in different areas of Muscat.
Economy- the economy of the country may have a great impact on the business. the fall of GDP will affect a lot of people, unemployment rate will increase which will eventually decrease the amount of customers in our centre, since people will not be able to afford paying for the services.
P2 under this criteria, I shall elucidate on how to identify the target

therefore when questionnaires are being prepared, the company needs to make sure that the questions being provided to the clients are clear and straight forward, they should let the interviewees aware if its open or closed questions.
For my case, I shall prepare open questions to the people for my research because due to that I will be able to know different opinions, likes and dislikes about different people regarding my business. this way, I will be able to follow steps that my clients are expecting to have and that way I will be having a good communication with them as well as pulling them closer. but if I give them closed questions with limited answers, some may just respond in a fake way and if I don’t put any in consideration then I might lose many people for my business since I did not consider them at all.
Hence, our clients and external environment should be our priority.

As for external factors one of the external factors would be perhaps a new law that is given and affects directly or indirectly the business and that business needs to make some changes.
Questions asked to the client to challenge some of their assumptions and reveal their true needs:
Open-ended question are a good way to start conversations as the client cannot just answer with a yes or no. It forces them to give you more information which makes it easier to understand and provide care for them. This would help Josephine connect more with her healthcare providers and her husband.
Internal influence: They are factors which businesses have some degree of control like location, management and business culture.
The participants may not have been willing to answer the questions. They might not wish to reveal the information or they might think that they will not benefit from responding perhaps even be penalised by giving their real opinion. Students should be told why the information is being collected and how the results will be beneficial. Some advantages of the methods would be that information can be collected from a large portion of a group.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the culture, the internal, and the external factors in an organization. Our job is to examine the entirety of the organization. That would include the structural and environmental elements that effect the operation of the business. We will also take an in depth look at the perspectives of employees, managers, owners, and clientele.
External influences cover a wide variety of factors, and their influence can differ between business types. These include the following:
A business does not operate in a vacuum.It has to act and react to what happens outside the factory. These factors that happened outside the business are known as external factors or influences.
Klosterman proves that external factors affect his deconstruction of Saved by the Bell, his self-construction, and his behaviors through a psychoanalytic lens. Some of the external factors that affect his psychology and deconstruction of the show are personal when he mentions the TV show the X-Files, and social when he references watching the show with his college neighbor Joel. When Klosterman refers to the show The X-Files he states, -if someone asked me to describe The X-Files, …I would seem like a moron if I said, “It was a program about two people who mostly looked for aliens.” That would never qualify as a significant description. I would have to have to write about how the supernatural religiosity of The X-Files personified a philosophical
External factors are those that affect business from outside the organization. There are several external factors that affect the outcome of day to day business, even for a huge corporation like Disney. Walt Disney has been known for its family entertainment for more than eight decades. It started small in the 1920s and has grown phenomenally today to a global corporation. Even a business this powerful and profitable is affected by external factors.
The question that I selected was open ended. My question is opened ended because I am asking my client to explore something. My rational for choosing this question was because I did not want to come off as blaming Mr. K for anything. The test was very clear about that. I could have asked something such as why did you divorce your wife? This question could cause my client to get angry because he may or may not have filed for divorce. Therefore since I was dealing with a sensitive topic I thought that it was better to ask him to describe the
An Externality is when costs or benefits of certain activities spill or fall into third parties that have nothing to do with the initial situation in hand; its like a side effect or consequence of an activity that affects other parties who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit.
Factors that happen in the external environment are known as external factors or influences. These will affect the main internal functions of the business and possibly the objectives of the business and its strategies. The main factor that affects most business is the degree of competition - how fiercely other businesses compete with the products that another business makes. The other factors that can affect the business are:
Before I send the questionnaire, I explained to the people, what is this questionnaire is all about. Why do I need to do this? And also what is the purpose of this research. All these questions also included in the questionnaire I created but just a brief explanation. (sample of questionnaire can be found at the appendix section). When I chatted with the prospect participants I got the chance to explain thoroughly and they can asks questions to me as well. I also asked their consent if it is okay to send a questionnaire for them to complete and to send it back to me.
Alternatively, open-ended where utilised when a greater of detail and insight were needed from the respondent as part of the elicitation.
