Episode 8: Evaluating the External Environment, Part 2

The Alanis Business Academy Podcast: Business Education for Everyone Else | Matthew Alanis

This episode is the second of a three part series about the external environment. If you haven't done so already, you may want to check out Episode 7: Evaluating the External Environment, Part 1. You can find this episode on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, and alanisbusinessacademy.com.

To answer that question we look to the second area of external environments: the specific environment.
