Internal and External Factors Paper
The four functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning occurs within these functions of a business, and it helps to deliver strategic value. Organizing will build a dynamic organization and leading will mobilize people. Controlling is part of learning and changing as the organization grows. All four functions of management are the key concept to effective management. Internal and external factors influence the decision-making process that affects management. The competitive landscape is constantly changing; therefore, managers must consider people and businesses around the world. Globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics require comprehensive planning and are essential in every aspect of management. Apple is an organization that uses strategic planning and organizational tools successfully to manage and market technology. In this paper the authors will explain how the internal and external factors affect the four functions of management in the organization of Apple. The authors will also provide specific examples of globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics.

Globalization is an external, driving force that has a major impact on the way managers run an organization. Globalization is the result of the notable increase of cross-border trade, investments, cultural exchange, population growth, and emergent economies (New World Encyclopedias, 2008). Globalization directly affects the four functions of management, or core competencies of management. These core competencies are the basics of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling (Bateman & Snell, 2011). Globalization causes events, or situations to take place within an organization to which managers have no direct control over. This external factor causes organizations such as Apple Inc. to update and
