Answer to Question 2

The specific environment consists of forces from outside stakeholder groups that directly affect an organization's ability to secure resources. Customers, distributors, unions, competitors, suppliers, and the government are all important outside stakeholders that can influence and pressure organizations to act in certain ways.
