HRCI PHR Exam - Topic 5 Question 119 Discussion
Topic #: 5
Your organization is likely to be purchased by a competitor. The Management has asked you, in confidence, to complete environmental scanning to determine the effects of the purchase on your organization's culture, customers, and employees. What is environmental scanning?
Environmental scanning requires the HR Professional to review the opportunities and threats that a condition can have on an organization. In this instance the environmental scan is to consider the effects of the organization's sale on employee's, culture, and customers.
Answer option C is incorrect. This is not a good definition of environmental scanning because the number of factors to be considered or the cultural achievability of a change are not required.
Answer option D is incorrect. The change need not come from an external source - it could be an internal policy, shift in leadership, or other internal catalyst.
Answer option B is incorrect. This isn't a valid definition of environmental scanning as this answer doesn't consider opportunities or threats that can affect the macro and micro elements in the organization.
