Environmental Considerations

Organizations are very closely tied to the environment. The businesses are dependent upon the local community for their employee base, and they need to take into consideration the societal influences. If the local community tends to lean towards a certain ethical, religious, or other mix then it would behoove the business from keeping that in consideration when making decisions. The relationship between the school I attend and the city it is located in also has a very tight knit effect on what kind of mentality the college will attract. If the college is looking to attract a certain type of demographic, political perspective, or cultural influence and the local community doesn’t support those types of people, then it’s obvious that the college should focus its incoming student populace on out-of-town attendees. The college has some ethical obligations to the local community. The most basic being that if the local community doesn’t appreciate how the college is managing their student population, this could lead to strained relations with businesses, police, or other community organizations.
